ONE PIECE Bronze Statue Tour 🇯🇵｜Kumamoto Reconstruction Project (Day 1)
This time, we will visit the statues of the Straw Hat Faction of the anime "ONE PIECE" (Day 1). On the first day, the route will take you from Haneda Airport to Aso Kumamoto Airport, Nami statue, Robin statue, Kusasenri, Minamiaso Panorama Line observation deck, Frankie statue, Usopp statue, Daikanbou, and Kumamoto City.
📝My impression of trip
If you like ONE PIECE, you should visit Kumamoto at least once. All the statues are elaborate and powerful, just like in the anime. The statues are well cared for and well loved by the local people. Also, you can feel the charm of Kumamoto through visiting the statues, such as its magnificent nature and delicious food.
Note that the statues are located deep in the mountains or in places where there is no public transportation, so you will need to rent a car when you visit. Also, the minifigures are sold during certain hours, so please check the hours in advance. It is recommended that you allow at least three days for your trip so that you can visit the various sites at your leisure. All that remains is to pray for clear skies.
Let's support Kumamoto's recovery together!
The Kumamoto earthquake occurred in April 2016.
Kumamoto Prefecture native and One Piece (ONE PIECE) author Eiichiro Oda said, "Fumbare! I'll be there! and "I'll be there!", he delivered a warm message of sympathy for his hometown with Luffy encouraging him, and "ONE PIECE Kumamoto Reconstruction Project" was launched. The actual text is on the official page below, so please take a look! It will make you cry...
Kumamoto is also the place where I obtained my driver's license, so I will also share with you the magnificent view of Aso while driving in a rented car. I would be happy if I could be of some help to the reconstruction of my beloved Kumamoto.
