Gulliver Figure at Toba Citizen Forest Park

鳥羽市民の森公園 ガリバー像とばしみんのもりこうえん がりばーぞう

A reclining Gulliver play sculpture, 6 m tall and 12 m wide, set inside Toba Citizen Forest Park. Local tourism material describes it as one of the largest figure-form playground installations in Japan, originally unveiled in 1982 at the 'Toba Brazil-Maru' Gulliver Plaza and then moved to its present home at Toba Citizen Forest Park in 1985. It functions as a public-park B-class monument carrying the legacy of 1980s seaside pavilion culture.
