- What to expect
-
The Great Buddha of Kamakura is an outdoor bronze statue of Amida Buddha located on the grounds of Kotoku-in Temple in Kanagawa Prefecture. Standing at the height of approximately 13.35 meters, it is one of the largest and the most renowned bronze Buddha statues in Japan. Once housed in a huge hall, the Great Buddha today sits in the open air because the building was washed away by a tsunami in 1498
