[Toyama, Takaoka] One of Japan's three great Buddha statues! The charming Takaoka Great Buddha with its gentle expression🕊️✨

The Takaoka Great Buddha, located in Takaoka City, Toyama Prefecture, is a famous landmark considered one of Japan's three greatest Buddha statues. This beautiful bronze statue, standing approximately 16 meters tall, is a true symbol of Takaoka. Its gentle smile, with its intimate quality, quietly soothes the hearts of visitors. This Great Buddha was completed in 1933 by local coppersmiths working together to rebuild a wooden Buddha statue that had previously been destroyed by fire. It also symbolizes Takaoka's history as a "copperware town." Behind it is the Amida Hall, and after visiting, we recommend strolling around the surrounding area. At night, the statue is lit up, creating a mystical atmosphere that is different from the daytime. 📌 Useful Information Address: 11-29 Otemachi, Takaoka City, Toyama Prefecture Access: Approximately 10 minutes' walk from JR Takaoka Station Visiting Hours: 6:00 AM - 6:00 PM (Open daily) Admission Fee: Free The Takaoka Great Buddha is a place where artisanal skill and faith come to life.
