The Lord Yoshikawa Tsuneie Bronze Statue is located near Tottori Castle in Tottori City. This statue commemorates Yoshikawa Tsuneie, a military commander of the Mori clan who fought against Hideyoshi Toyotomi during the siege of Tottori Castle. He is remembered for his loyalty and sacrifice, choosing to take his own life to save his soldiers and the people of the castle town from starvation. The statue is situated at the foot of Mount Kyusho, where Tottori Castle once stood, offering a poignant reminder of the area's history. It's about a 10-minute drive from JR Tottori Station or 15 minutes from the Tottori-Yō IC on the Tottori Expressway. A visit to the statue provides insight into the region's samurai history.
