Kumamoto Iconic Statues World of Pirates Adventure Tour

The tour was amazing. Besides the fact that the guide (Mori-san) was super kind, the landscapes and the food of Kumamoto were incredible. Totally recommended since the spots where the statues are located are quite far from the city center so this is THE way to see all of them in one journey.

Akemi-san is a professional, friendly, and knowledgeable guide. Although there was a language barrier, we are able to communicate via a translation app. Akemi-san also prepared umbrellas for us as it rained most of the day.

Mr.Ogino (the Tour guide/Driver) is highly commendable for his work. He made sure that we were comfortable and that we were able to make the most out of our tour. I do not think it is possible to see the 10 statues and also purchase their respective miniature models without this tour package as some shops are not in the same place as the statues. I highly recommend this tour package and Mr. Ogino.

I think this itinerary is great! Plus, lunch was provided and it was delicious. Since the One Piece statues are scattered all over the place, having a dedicated car to take us around for photos was really wonderful! My only regret is that I didn't check the operating hours for each location, so I missed getting a picture with Robin.

Mr. Yamakawa's service was impeccable. His professionalism and dedication to pleasing us were unparalleled, despite the language barrier, which the translator easily overcame. He was incredibly punctual and helped us find the figures, even though some had been moved. The van was super spacious and clean. Just be aware of the day you book your tour; in our case, we took the tour on a Monday, and the Chopper, Sanji, and Brook stores were closed, and these figures cannot be purchased elsewhere. The cost of the figures is: gold ¥2,200, colored ¥2,680, so be sure to bring cash as not all locations accept card payments.

I had so much fun visiting all of Straw Hats’ Statues! I get to but their merch as well because our guide kindly led us to the stores who sold them. Everything went so smooth, our lovely guide waa very kind and helpful. It was very easy for me to communicate with him. Amazing experience i won’t ever forget. He also gave us gifts. I’m so thankful for him.

I originally planned my trip on the 30th but due to weather conditions, I asked then if I can move it two days earlier since I couldn’t cancel it, so they did. I had Ms. Mika Mori and she was great. Even though there was a language barrier, she was very nice and made sure I had a great time.

Mr. Ogino is a class act and expert in this itinerary. he knew where to go for statues and where to buy the figures (because they aren’t the same place!) remember to bring cash because not all figures can be bought with card. Don’t worry if you travel solo, Mr. Ogino is a fantastic photographer as well! This trip will be one of my lasting memories of Japan

The driver was a Japanese woman who could only communicate in Japanese. We used Google Translate throughout the trip, but our conversations were enjoyable, and the itinerary went smoothly. She drove very steadily, making us feel completely at ease. She also checked in with us about how we were feeling during the ride and any other needs we had. The timing for photos, buying figures, and meals was perfectly arranged. I highly recommend this tour; it's incredibly convenient to see all the One Piece statues and buy all the figures in one day.

The experience was incredible. Me and my wife had a fantastic time in the city. Shout out to Runa who was an amazing tour guide! She was always friendly, patient and kind to us. 100% recommended!
