Attack on Titan

A 94-metre dam wall standing in for Wall Maria, with the three children below it.

Hajime Isayama grew up in Oyama, in the city of Hita in Oita Prefecture, and the town has turned that connection into something worth travelling for. Below the Oyama Dam — a concrete wall 94 metres high that reads unmistakably as Wall Maria — stand life-size statues of Eren, Mikasa and Armin as children, positioned as they were when they first saw a Titan over the wall. Nearby, the Attack on Titan in HITA museum holds original signed art, rejected designs for the statues, and objects made only for this site.

Common questions

Is Attack on Titan set in Japan?

No, the story is set in an invented walled world. The real sites exist because the author is from Hita in Oita, and the town built them around that connection.

What is at the Oyama Dam?

Life-size bronze statues of Eren, Mikasa and Armin as children, standing below a 94-metre dam wall that stands in for the wall from volume one.

How do I get to Hita?

About 90 minutes from Fukuoka. It combines with Beppu's hot springs and the Kamado shrine in Oita as a Kyushu route.
