Each 3m tall statue has its own unique story. Find the cat 😺

Nice little park near a 711 so you can get some snacks, sit in the park and enjoy your time. The central play structure is unique, there is grass and dirt areas, and there is a toilet in the corner of the park which seems to be popular among taxi drivers.

That arrangement of the 16 Arhats is shocking. I was told that the inn was so obvious that I didn't think anything of it, but the fact that it was surrounded by a plaza was, well, strange, wasn't it? I want to rush into it. It made me laugh when I saw the children playing with the Arhat statue face down and saying, ``Daruma-san has fallen!'' (It made me smile. It was simply funny.) I was able to see the children playing lively with the Arhat statue. I wonder if it means that it is enshrined. If you put your hands on this Arhat, you'll be pointing your butt towards the Arhat over there, which is really funny. It's not normal but it's fun

The atmosphere was a little strange, and all the Buddhas were looking at me, so I felt like I could see right through everything. Each person's face is different, some look angry while others look kind. It was a place where there was nothing but a nice breeze and a slightly different atmosphere!

Visited on March 19, 2023. There are 16 Arhats, but I counted 21...Why 16? However, I understood it after reading the instructions! There are 16 Arhats + 5 Tathagatas, making a total of 21 bodies.
