Everything’s bigger in Yamaguchi?

I usually find that most things in Japan are smaller compared to back home. Clothes. Shoes. Portion sizes in restaurants. I had to laugh then when I was in Yamaguchi recently and saw this giant cone blocking off some of a parking area at a shrine we visited.

For the record, I’m 5’4” if that gives you some scope for size! I have no idea why it needed to be so unnecessarily large - but it gave me a chuckle!
