Official Dragon Quest statue erected in Sumoto, Japan
堀井さん出生の地 淡路島洲本市に「ドラゴンクエスト誕生30周年 記念碑」が建立されました!ブロンズ製です。ロトのつるぎは悪縁を断ち、ロトの盾は災いから守り、スライムは良縁を招く、そんな御利益があるとか。勇者のみなさん聖地巡礼ですよ!#DQ30th pic.twitter.com/fTJUVXb814

Sumoto, Japan is the birthplace of Dragon Quest creator Yuji Horii. As of today, it's also the location for a Dragon Quest 30th anniversary statue. The statue had quite a bit of thought put into as well, as Horii says the Slime was for luck, the shield was protection from calamity, and the sword was to cut down evil fate.
