Hita celebrates its link to manga artist Hajime Isayama, creator of Attack on Titan, with statues tied to the series. The best-known grouping is near Oyama Dam, where the dam wall gives the figures a fittingly oversized backdrop.
This is a niche stop, but a worthwhile one for fans travelling through Hita. There is also related material around the city, so check the current local map if you want to make a small circuit of the Attack on Titan sites.
