Standing nearly 60 feet tall in Wakamatsu Park, this life-sized recreation of the iconic retro mech Tetsujin 28-go is one of Kobe's most impressive public landmarks. Erected to celebrate the revitalization of the city after the devastating 1995 Great Hanshin Earthquake, the colossal blue titan pays homage to local manga artist Mitsuteru Yokoyama. Just a short walk from Shin-Nagata Station, it serves as both a joyful gathering point for families and an awe-inspiring photo stop for pop culture enthusiasts.
