Message from worldpitou

The Great Buddha at Hotei is a massive bronze statue of Amida Buddha located in Kamakura, Japan. Standing at 11.4 meters tall, it's one of the largest Buddha statues in the country. Originally housed inside a temple, the statue now stands in the open air after surviving multiple natural disasters. Visitors can easily reach the Great Buddha by taking a short walk from Hase Station along the Enoden railway line. It's definitely a must-see attraction for anyone exploring the historic city of Kamakura!
