Huge 'Life-Size' Alolan Exeggutor Pokemon Spotted at Japan Airport
It is always interesting to see what big video game brands like Pokemondo on a regular basis to draw the attention of its fan base and community. This explains the constant marketing campaigns, such as official Pokemon partnerships with mainstream brands for themed merchandise, and even real-life exhibits or life-sized statues displayed in physical locations. This is likely the reason why photos of a “life-sized” Alolan Exeggutor statue that is currently on display in a Japanese airport have recently popped up online.
Though The Pokemon Company sometimes branches out to other parts of the world for its marketing campaign, it seems the brunt of Pokemon-themed events and exhibits are mainly held in the company's home country of Japan. More often than not, the Japanese government partners with The Pokemon Company to boost a specific locale’s tourism. This is why tourists often see airplanes or manhole covers with Pokemon designs, with some prefectures in Japan even partnering with a specific Pokemon as its tourism brand ambassador.

However, comments on the thread quickly corrected this by stating that Japanese characters can be seen in the photo.
