About this sight
Mizuki Shigeru, from Sakaiminato, was an artist fascinated with yokai, or Japanese demons, who went on to create the popular manga Ge Ge Ge No Kintaro. Alongside the road in front of the JR Sakaiminato station, there are 153 famous bronze yokai (demon) statues specially designed by Mizuki Shigeru for his hometown, and at the end of the street is the famous Mizuki Shigeru Museum. Fans of his work should not miss this museum honoring his life and achievements!
