Where the Legend of Momotaro Lives On

The statue of Momotaro, a legendary boy born from a giant peach, stands proudly in front of Okayama Station.

According to Japanese folklore, he grew up to become a hero, setting out to defeat the ogres troubling the villagers. Along the way, he befriended a dog, a monkey, and a pheasant by sharing his kibidango (millet dumplings), and together they overcame the ogres. Today, Momotaro is celebrated as a symbol of bravery and friendship, and the statue is a beloved icon of Okayama.
