Kumamoto One Piece Statue Tour Itinerary:

Kumamoto One Piece Statue Tour – 8 statues plus Aso Volcano Sights 

We spend aproximately 10 – 15 minutes at each statue, your guide is always happy to help you take photos or videos

If we visit Kamishikimi Kumanoimasu shrine the timings are similar but the route is slightly different. On bad weather days we will visit the shrine as the top of the Aso mountains can be very foggy. If you have a preference for visiting either the volcano or shrine please state when you make a booking
