Plan Description
Visit the Straw Hat Pirates statues that stand for Kumamoto recovery and the dinosaur town of Mifune in half a day. Start with a stroll through Suizenji Jojuen Garden, then see the Luffy statue at the Kumamoto Prefectural Office and the Chopper statue at Kumamoto City Zoo and Botanical Garden. In Mifune, try fossil digging and visit the Brook statue. The statues are spread across the city and suburbs, but a private car gets you there without transfers, even with small children.

Q. Is anything not included in the price?
Facility admission, the fossil digging fee and meals are not included and are paid on site. Parking fees, expressway tolls, fuel and tax are all included in the tour price.
Q. Do we need to book the fossil digging in advance?
Yes, advance booking is required and should be made by you. We can plan the route around your booked time.
Q. Can we add the statues in the Aso area?
Yes. The Straw Hat statues are located across Kumamoto Prefecture, and the route can be extended to include those in the Aso area. This adds time and distance, so the price will change.
