The Monkey D. Luffy statue was set up by Kumamoto Prefecture as a symbol of recovery from the 2016 earthquake, featuring the popular manga character from 'ONE PIECE.' This 6-meter statue, located within the prefectural office grounds, has captivated many visitors to Kumamoto.
The distinctive features of the sturdy physique and resolute expression of the Luffy statue strike the hearts of those who see it. The innovative hat and vest style, fluttering in the wind, embody Luffy's carefree spirit. The handprint of the author, Eiichiro Oda, is left at the base of the statue, a delightful detail for fans.
About a 10-minute drive from the center of Kumamoto, the nearest parking lot is the underground parking lot of the prefectural office, which is very convenient. However, it is often closed on weekends and holidays, so street parking may need to be considered. The ginkgo tree-lined street at the prefectural office is especially stunning in spring and autumn, making it a perfect spot for commemorative photos.
The imposing presence of the Luffy statue gives people dreams and courage. When visiting Kumamoto, be sure to take a memorable photo in front of this statue that ignites the spirit of adventure, and capture an everlasting memory in your heart.
