Kumamoto Prefectural Government Office

The famous One Piece Luffy statue is a major attraction, drawing fans and symbolizing the city's post-earthquake revival.

The ginkgo tree-lined avenue is stunning, especially in autumn with its golden leaves, and sometimes features night illumination.

Visitors consistently praise the kind and polite security guards and prefecture office staff for their assistance and guidance.

Parking is often free, including two hours on weekdays and sometimes on weekends or during special events like illuminations.

A free observation deck on the building's rooftop offers excellent views of Kumamoto Castle, providing an alternative to paid viewpoints.
