The statue of Takeda Shingen, a source of pride for Kofu City, is characterized by its overwhelming presence, standing at a height of 6.2 meters. His posture, holding a military fan in his right hand and a rosary in his left, reminiscent of the Battle of Kawanakajima, exudes the dignity of a great general. In addition, the blooming of the Somei Yoshino cherry trees planted behind the statue in spring further enhances the grandeur of the statue. At night, the illuminated statue of Shingen is fantastic and beautiful, and one cannot help but feel the heroic tales emanating from his brave figure.
