Introduction
Our proud Japanese Anime, ONE PIECE!
This is a full day tour to visit all the statues of Straw Hat Pirates that are situated across the northern part of Kumamoto Prefecture, or any of them that you would like to visit.
If you try to visit all these statues using public transport, it would take at least 2 days or 3 days no matter how well planned your itinerary is. But I can take you to each of these, all of these statues in just a day. However, please be advised that this is going to be a long-distance driving tour that normally takes 10 hours or more.
On this tour, you got the chance to purchase their miniature figurines (as pictures shown below) for commemorating not only your visit to each statue, but also to the area where Mr Oda, the Mangaka (= Manga artist or cartoonist) of One Piece was born.
All these statues were built thanks to using part of Mr Oda’s kind donation (800 million JPY! ≒ 5.5 million USD) that he made for those who had sustained enormous damages from a series of strong earthquakes that had hit Kumamoto throughout the year of 2016. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of these figurines will be donated to the victims of the past earthquakes.
NOTE: Luffy, Zoro & Nami figurines are sold out as of 1st Oct 2024
The above miniature figurines are available for 2,200 JPY at a store near each statue, also available nationwide at Mugiwara stores now. And the new version of One Piece miniature figurines below are available at 2,640 JPY exclusively at each statue for 9 of them, but at 3,850 JPY for Luffy.
Besides, it includes a bit of sightseeing to the magnificent volcano Mt. Aso, a symbol of Kumamoto that gives us the nickname “Land of fire”, on the way to Franky. Hope the weather will be good enough to view its magnificent landscape!
Miniature Figurines’ Availablility
If you would really like to purchase ALL the One Piece figurines, you should avoid Mondays when Robin / Sanji / Chopper / Brook figurines are not available and Thursdays when Brook figurine is not available.
NOTE: New version of Sanji, Chopper and Brook figurines are not available on Tuesdays after public holidays.
