Iwagawa YAGORO-don

It is getting warm, here in Kagoshima!

I can feel spring around the corner :)

I will show you the attractive places of Osumi Peninsula, the right side of Kagoshima prefecture.






Iwagawa in Soo City.  Iwagawa is famous for Yagoro-don, who is the Giant in legend.

Yagoro-don lights and watches for the safe of town.




They show us the famous products here.
Beef, Pork, Chicken and vegitables....wow...so many!


Michinoeki-the restspot called "おおすみ弥五郎伝説の里 (Osumi Yagoro densetsu-no-sato)" has hot spring, local product exhibition hall, restaurant and .....

The statue of Yagoro-don!
Now you can see how big it is! 


 

Surprising is, he is famous not only among local peole, but also in Spain!
Statue of Yagoro-don crossed the sea to attend "AMICS DELS GEGANTS" in Spain.

He is an international giant :)


 


Though it is a bit earlier to enjoy waching cherry blossom in full bloom,
it must be so beautiful!!!!
