To the people of Yamanashi Prefecture, Shingen Takeda is a hero. A bronze statue of Shingen stands in front of Kofu Station in Yamanashi Prefecture.
This statue is heavy, dignified and dignified. He captured Shingen's image well.
However, the statue is a statue. When viewed as Things to do, an ordinary Rating is appropriate.

I haven't been to the statue of Takeda Shingen in a while, but the parking lot behind it is still a hindrance when taking photos. To avoid the parking lot appearing in the photo, you have to take the photo from under the statue's pedestal. I can't destroy the parking lot, but I wonder if there's something I can do to make it a tourist attraction...

I have been to Kofu several times and must have missed this status. Located at the Kofu station this is a must see. Great photo opportunity to start off a Kofu adventure.

Takeda Shingen is one of the first names to come to mind as a military commander during the Sengoku period. There is a statue of him in the square next to Kofu Station.
The large Shingen sitting on top of a large pedestal is truly impressive. The statue is modeled after the way he was in the battlefield at Kawanakajima, sitting heavily on a floor cushion with a military fan in his right hand and a rosary in his left. It's a dignified appearance befitting a great general.

We didn’t have enough time to make it to the grave of Takeda Shingen during our whistle stop so this was a compromise. It’s conveniently located right outside the station and has a really good description in English.

Learning about Japanese history Takeda is a famous samurai that is loved by many Japanese people for his power and what he stood for.

Takeda Shingen was one of Japan’s greatest feudal warlords and it’s very fitting that this imposing statue is positioned at Kofu Station. People new to the city and prefecture can take a great photo here and read a little bit about the great leader. Locals often use this place as a landmark to meet up.
Attractive design and well-placed.

Although a large and somewhat imposing statue, that's all it is. There are many similar memorials to all sorts of feudal warlords and this was pretty much just one like all the rest.
