KOBE (SHIN-NAGATA) JAPAN: TETSUJIN 28-GO 2016

Published on by jacquelinemhadel4 Comments

In 1995’s Great Hanshin Earthquake, Japan’s Hyogo Prefecture was destroyed, especially specific areas in Kobe. In an effort to rebuild their community and to gain a symbol of strength in the aftermath, Wakamatsu Park (5 minute walk from Shin-Nagata Station) became home to a 59 foot statue of “Gigantor,” Tetsujin 28, the famous Manga character from 1956’s “Tetsujin 28-go” by Mitsuteru Yokoyama.

It is huge and serves as a symbol of rebirth and strength for the area after the tragedy, as well as being a popular tourist site.
