“Such a great experience ”
I completely recomend to take the tour with May san, she is such a great guide, without her help, it would be impossible to reach all the statues, and she knows where to Buy the figures and good snacks and sweets tips
“Amazing Tour ”
Had a great tour with her, took us to 8 out of the 10 statues, very knowledgable about the location surrounding the statues and would stop at certain places with great view for us to take a picture. She also took us to an amazing Ramen spot for lunch. Highly Recommend!

(12 reviews)Thank you very much for your kind review. It was nice weather to visit around nature in Mt.Aso and of course One Piece statues as well. I wish you all the best from Kumamoto, Mai.
“Fantastic Tour!”
Mai-san is just the best tour guide ever!! I'm a long-time One Piece fan, and seeing these statues in person was an absolute dream of mine that Mai-san helped come true. Many of the statues are spread out far from each other, so if you're interested in seeing all of them I highly recommend doing it with Mai as your guide! She made seeing each statue quick and easy and went above and beyond in getting my group to all 10 statues in just one day, even though we were on a time crunch. On top of this, she also identified and drove us to where each statue's figure could be purchased. Not only that, but she even went out of her way to help me get Luffy's figure from the Mugiwara Store in Kumamoto as unfortunately the normal spot in the Kumamoto Prefectural Office was closed on the day we went. Aside from the statues, Mai-san is also very knowledgeable about the Kumamoto prefecture, and it was a pleasure getting to know its history while seeing some beautiful sights of the countryside. I would love to return someday to take in more of the prefecture's beauty. Moreover, it was also a pleasure meeting Mai-san and getting to know her! She is very kind and accommodating, and if you book this tour, you absolutely will not regret it! I can't recommend her enough to anyone interested in One Piece or touring Kumamoto! Thank you so much again Mai-san!
