10-meter tall Godzilla scarecrow
A Godzilla made of straw has appeared in Yasunosato Park in Chikuzen Town, Fukuoka Prefecture.
It's about 10 meters tall and weighs 5.7 tons, and its size is overwhelming when you see it up close. Visitor: "It's huge. It's beyond the realm of a scarecrow. I don't think it was made by a professional. I think it's amazing." Boy: "In the movie it looked pretty big. But when I saw it in person, I thought it was really big." Boy's mother: "I was surprised. It was really cool. I was impressed that something like this could be made out of straw." Since 2015, residents of Chikuzen Town have been making giant straw scarecrows with different themes every year. This year, the 10th, they chose Godzilla as the subject after the town purchased a life-size model of the Shinden fighter plane used in the filming of the movie "Godzilla 1.0" released last year.
The giant Godzilla scarecrow will be on display until late February next year.

Mirrors are placed on the walls to let in natural light, and the fireplace below can still be used today." It was completed in 1912 and was built by Matsumoto Kenjiro, a successful coal miner, as both a residence and a guest house. The Western-style and Japanese-style buildings remain almost as they were at the time. Kimono lovers group
"Everything is so beautiful, from the curtain rails to the doors, and I'm in a really good mood today. It made me feel wonderful."
"I was really impressed by the building. I don't often have a chance to go in, so it was a learning experience, and it felt like an autumn of art." The neighboring former Yasukawa residence is also open to the public for free on the 4th.
Events canceled due to bad weather
During this three-day weekend, some events were affected by the weather.
The Ashiya Sand Sculpture Exhibition was held in Ashiya Town from October 25th. The venue featured works by sculptors from Japan and abroad, but most of the sand sculptures collapsed due to heavy rain from the night of the 1st.
The executive committee determined that the exhibit was beyond repair. The exhibit was scheduled to run until November 10th, but plans to resume have been abandoned. In addition, the Balloon Festa, a seasonal feature of autumn in Saga that began on October 31st, had most of the flights canceled during the period due to strong winds and heavy rain. However, on the final day, the 4th, which was blessed with good weather, competitive flights were held for the first time in four days, and free flights were held in the afternoon.
