Audio Guide of the Momotaro Statue

The Momotaro Statue is located in the Okayama Station Square. It is an outdoor landmark, so it is accessible 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. There are no specific opening or closing hours.

No need to worry about your budget! The Momotaro Statue is a public sculpture in the station square, so visiting it is completely free. No admission fee is required.

Since it is an outdoor statue, you do not need much time. About 10 to 15 minutes will be enough to admire it, take a few photos, and learn about its importance, especially if you use an audio guide.

Absolutely! The statue commemorates Momotaro, the 'Peach Boy,' a hero from Japanese folklore. Okayama is said to be his place of origin, and the statue reflects the city’s affection for this legend, which symbolizes bravery and kindness.

You can visit the statue at any time, but to enjoy the best light and avoid crowds, I suggest going early in the morning or late in the afternoon. As for the best season, spring with the cherry blossoms or autumn with its colors provides a beautiful backdrop.

Yes, the Momotaro Statue is in the station square, a completely flat and accessible area for wheelchair users and people with reduced mobility. You can approach it easily and enjoy it without any problem.

From Okayama Station, you have many options. You can visit the impressive Koraku-en Garden, one of the three most beautiful gardens in Japan, or Okayama Castle, known as 'Crow Castle.' Also nearby is the Kurashiki Bikan Historical Quarter, a charming historic district less than 20 minutes away by train.

Of course! I recommend using an audio guide to better understand the story of Momotaro while you are there. Also, bring your camera because it is a great spot for photos, and if you visit in winter, dress warmly. Take the opportunity to explore the station area too, which has great shops and restaurants!
