About the Spot

Hello, travelers!
This is Ayu-mama, writing for SaruKuma.

Today, we’re back with another exciting One Piece statue tour!

Today’s destination is Takamori Town in Aso District,
home to 【Takamori Station】 and its very own Franky statue.

Welcome to Takamori — the village of wildflowers and refreshing breezes!
Doesn’t that sound lovely?

Here’s the parking lot.

Behind the station, you’ll find a small open plaza,

complete with tables and benches — the perfect spot to relax and take in the atmosphere!

Takamori Station is also the terminal for the famous Trolley Train. I’d love to ride it on my next visit!

Even the Straw Hat crew is cheering on the full restoration of the Minami-Aso Railway!

Inside the station, there’s even a Plarail train diorama!
The kids couldn’t take their eyes off it.

Why You Should Visit

Kumamoto’s 6th One Piece statue is the one and only Franky!
HE’S HUGE!!!
Seriously, this guy is massive!

My son couldn’t resist striking the same SUPER pose!

A view from the side.

And from behind.
Those buff, muscular arms radiate pure power!
Come see the mighty Franky statue for yourself — you won’t be disappointed!
