🗿 Kōtoku-in – The Great Buddha of Kamakura

#mytraveldiary 🗿 Kōtoku-in – The Great Buddha of Kamakura Located in Kamakura, Kōtoku-in (高徳院) is one of Japan’s most iconic temples, famous for its majestic Great Buddha (Daibutsu) statue. 🙏✨ This bronze figure of Amida Buddha stands about 13 meters tall, making it the second-largest Great Buddha in Japan. 🌸🇯🇵 🌟 Highlights at Kōtoku-in: • The Great Buddha (Daibutsu) 🗿 – an awe-inspiring symbol of peace and resilience • Visitors can even step inside the statue to see its hollow interior 🏯 • A tranquil temple ground surrounded by trees 🌳🌿 • Seasonal beauty: cherry blossoms in spring 🌸 and colorful foliage in autumn 🍁
