the grounds of Kōtokuin (高徳院)
Kōtokuin (高徳院) - Home of the famous Great Buddha (大仏 Daibutsu), a bronze statue of Amida that at 13.35 meters is the second largest in Japan. Thought to be cast in 1252, the statue was originally housed in a giant temple hall, but the building was washed away in a tidal wave.

I want to rub the Buddha belly! I like the atmosphere photos-- it's neat to see how packed the train was!
