The gigantic 17-meter-tall seated Great Buddha is the largest in Japan. The Buddhist chambers that fill three walls and the 1,281 stone Buddha statues are truly impressive! The quiet background music playing inside the Great Buddha Hall perfectly matches the solemn atmosphere, creating a soothing feeling that is hard to describe. Holding a massive, heavy bell pole, we ring the giant bell. The low, "GOOOOOON" sound reverberates. There's also a photo spot in front where you can lie flat-footed... It's photogenic, well-sighted, and a great place to see the autumn leaves. #AutumnFoliageSpot #AutumnFoliage #Fukui #EchizenDaibutsu #Ginkgo #0YenTrip2025Autumn
