💡 Tips for Visitors

Download a map from the tourist information center or online beforehand, as signage may be primarily in Japanese. The statues are spread across several kilometers, so comfortable walking shoes are essential and consider renting a bicycle for easier exploration. Most statues are outdoors and free to visit year-round, though spring and autumn offer the most pleasant weather for this walking tour.
