The Momotaro Statue is a prominent landmark located in the city of Okayama, Japan. This statue is a tribute to the legendary Japanese folklore hero, Momotaro, who is known for his bravery and courage. The statue is situated in a public park and is a popular tourist attraction in the city.
The statue depicts Momotaro, a young boy, dressed in traditional Japanese clothing, holding a peach in one hand and a sword in the other.
