Travel Kamakura with JAPANiCAN !

The Daibutsu (Great Buddha) is located on the grounds of Kotokuin Temple in Kamakura. The 13.36 meter tall bronze statue was cast in the year 1252 and was originally housed inside a large temple building, although at the end of the 15th century a great tsunami (tidal wave) washed the temple buildings away. Ever since that time the Buddha has been exposed to the elements.
