Ushiku Daibutsu is a bronze standing statue with a total height of 120m (including the pedestal), registered in the Guinness Book of Records as one of the world's largest Buddha statues. Inside the statue, you can take an elevator up to an observation deck 85m above ground and enjoy panoramic views of the Kanto Plain. At the foot of the Great Buddha spreads the Pure Land Garden, where cherry blossoms and poppies bloom in spring, and cosmos flowers bloom in autumn. There's also a petting zoo where you can interact with small animals and sutra copying experiences, making it enjoyable for families too. The massive size of the Buddha is overwhelming even when viewed from a distance.
