Great Buddha

Great Buddha Great Buddha Daibutsu soft-serve ice cream

On the grounds of Kotokuin Temple, there is a bronze statue of Amida Buddha that is known as the Great Buddha of Kamakura. It is the second tallest bronze Buddha statue in Japan, with a height of 11.4 meters, and it is the only one that is higher than Nara's Todaiji Temple and some recent creations.

Originally placed inside a large temple hall, the statue was cast in 1252. In the 14th and 15th centuries, typhoons and a tsunami caused the temple buildings to be destroyed multiple times. In the late 15th century, the Buddha has been occupying the open air.

There are also cafes around the Kotokuin Temple and Hase Temple where you can enjoy Daibutsu soft-serve ice cream, so be sure to check them out.
