Japan's Biggest Statue of Liberty

This replica of the Statue of Liberty is a quarter of the size of the real thing. It sits on the same latitude as the original, but on the other side of the world.

About

As strange as it might be to see Lady Liberty lifting her lamp not on Ellis Island, but in Aomori Prefecture, this large-scale replica is not even the only one in Japan. Arguably the most famous copy in the land is the Odaiba Statue of Liberty, which overlooks Tokyo Bay. There's also the Statue of Liberty perched atop the New American Plaza in America-Mura in Osaka.

But at 20.8 meters tall including its pedestal, Oirase's Statue of Liberty is the tallest in Japan. It stands in Icho Park and was inaugurated on December 28, 1990. Part of the impetus for building this replica is because Oirase has the same latitude as New York City.
