MK Guide Recommends
Located just over an hour from Tokyo, Kōtoku-in offers a glimpse into Japan's rich Buddhist heritage. The highlight is the Great Buddha of Kamakura, a towering 13.35-meter bronze statue of Amida Buddha that has stood resilient for centuries. Dating back to the 13th century, this open-air masterpiece has endured earthquakes and tsunamis, symbolizing strength and tranquility. Visitors can stroll through the peaceful temple grounds, admire the historical craftsmanship, and even step inside the statue for a rare perspective. The temple's location in Kamakura, a charming coastal city, makes it an excellent destination for a day trip filled with history, culture, and scenic beauty.
