Hanimaru tower is another attraction that stands 17.3 meters or 56.7 feet tall (almost or the same height of Sphinx from Egypt. It's in Kurefushi no Sato Kofun Park which comprises several burial mounds or small hills. There are rumors that this park and this odd statue-tower can be a beacon or receiver of messages from outer space aliens. You can climb up inside the tower via a staircase at the
tower's back. At the upper part inside, you can see a giant face where you can insert your hands to the mouth.
