Kotoku-in is a Buddhist temple in Kamakura, Japan, known for The Great Buddha of Kamakura, a massive bronze statue of Amitābha. Standing at 13.35 meters tall and weighing around 93 tons, this iconic statue dates back to 1252 and is a designated National Treasure. Visitors can even peek inside the hollow statue, but watch out for the graffiti left by past explorers! Despite enduring storms and earthquakes over the centuries, this awe-inspiring statue continues to draw visitors from around the world to marvel at its grandeur.
