This Luffy statue is seriously awesome. It looks even more impressive in person than in photos, and fans will definitely get excited.
If you’re visiting Kumamoto, this is a must-stop spot for photos.

Chinoike Jigoku
Bubbling up from deep underground, "netsudei" (volcanic mud) is formed through chemical reactions under extreme heat and pressure, eventually accumulating in this eerie red pond. For centuries, its ominous look has led people to call it a "jigoku" (hell). Stretching some 1,300 square meters, Chinoike Jigoku has existed for over 1,300 years and is now a well-maintained, must-visit attraction in Beppu.
Chinoike Jigoku and Umi Jigoku actually have totally different vibes. The contrast between the red and blue is really striking, and the visual impact is pretty direct and impressive.

Matsuyama Castle
Matsuyama Castle is an iconic symbol of Matsuyama City, and it is also famous as being an impregnable castle.
Matsuyama Castle is one of the few castles in Japan with an original main keep still intact. It feels genuinely historic, not like one of those rebuilt empty shells.
Its location on the mountaintop gives it great views, and you can look out over the whole city of Matsuyama. The scenery alone makes it worth visiting. -

Shimanami Kaido (Seaway)
The “Shimanami Kaido” is a 60 km long road connecting Honshu and Shikoku. It connects Onomichi City in Hiroshima Prefecture to Imabari City in Ehime Prefecture, and bridges six islands in the Seto Inland Sea. It consists of the Nishi-Seto Expressway, Ikuchijima Road, and Oshima Road.
It looks great in photos, but being there in person feels even more immersive.
