Attack on Titan / Oyama dam in Hita
The dam in Isayama’s home town, Oyama, in Hita. It is partially operated as a public
park. As part of the project to celebrate ten years of publication for the Attack on Titan
manga, a crowdfunding project was organized by volunteers from Hita city.
Stage one of the bronze statue project, a statue depicting young Eren, Mikasa and
Armin is installed here. Imagining Oyama Dam as Wall Maria, this statue recreates
the opening scene in which Titans first attack!

Sanno Shrine / Torii gate with single column
The Sanno Shrine, situated 900 m from the center of the blast, was instantly

The only thing that remained is the Torii gate standing on a single column,
reminding us of the tragedy that took place.
