The Ino Tadataka Bronze Statue is located in Sawara Park, a short walk from JR Sawara Station and near Suwa Shrine. This prominent statue commemorates Ino Tadataka, a local hero known for creating the first accurate map of Japan. The statue, erected in 1919, depicts him in surveying attire and is a notable landmark within the park. While the park itself is a typical neighborhood park, the statue offers a glimpse into the area's historical significance. It's a quick and worthwhile stop when visiting Sawara's historical district and Suwa Shrine, especially during the plum and cherry blossom seasons.
