Kumamoto One Piece Statue Tour Itinerary:

This is a customisable tour so the example below is just to give you an idea of a possible 8 statue itinerary. Timings are approximate and the schedule and itinerary order may change according to the weather and time constraints. On the 8 statue tour the timing is quite tight due to the distances between the statues. If you prefer a more relaxing day with less time in the car and more outside then limiting the number of statues is a good idea. For example if you miss out  Jinbe you add almost an extra hour of sightseeing time.
