Kamakura:japan
Kamakura
One of Japan's best collections of shrines, temples, and monuments. In addition, the town is famous for its Great Buddha statue.
At over 35 feet tall, the bronze statue of Buddha (Daibutsu) in Kamakura, at the Kotokuin Temple, is the second largest Buddha in Japan. It was cast in the 13th century and was originally housed in a temple that was destroyed by a tsunami in the 15th century.
