Kumamoto Pref. sends off tomato greenhouse truck

The Kumamoto prefectural government holds a ceremony in front of its office building in southwestern Japan on Oct. 7, 2015, to send off the "Tomatora" truck carrying a greenhouse to grow the prefecture's tomatoes. The truck is headed to Tokyo and will promote the tomatoes along the way. In the left is the prefecture's mascot "Kumamon" who gave up on getting into the truck as its huge body would not fit the seat. (Kyodo) ==Kyodo
