The Yataro Iwasaki statue in Aki City beautifully depicts the image of a genius who laid the foundation of the Mitsubishi Group. Starting as an accountant for the Kaientai, he had deep connections with Sakamoto Ryoma and expanded his business from shipping to finance and warehousing. His magnificent standing figure symbolizes his great achievements and moves visitors deeply. His birthplace is also nearby, and there are free tours available.
