  • Additional Information *
  • This unique design manhole featuring a snowman and flowers, specific to the ‘Yasuzuka’ area, still exists at the exact designated location and has not been removed. As shown in the first attached photo, the design is clearly visible.

The second photo shows that the manhole is on a wide pedestrian path, surrounded by open space, where players can safely stop and access it. It is not on private property, at a school, or in a dangerous location.

It is highly likely that this Wayspot was removed due to a false report or misjudgment. Please review and restore this Wayspot.

It’s possible this was removed for being generic street infrastructure. It is not unique to that specific location, but there will be lots of that design in that area.

There are other threads discussing these manhole covers, so it might be worth reading through those (if you can find them).

Thanks for the appeal, @782000221356! We have taken another look but stand by our decision to retire this Wayspot.
