Kōtoku-in, Kamakura

The Buddha is very impressive. And the grounds are lovely too. A good short hour or two should by enough time to take in the experience. It was not too expensive to enter, compared with other temples, so that was great. You can enter inside the buddha from the back to see how it was created. All in all, fun, and beautiful.

It is always good to spend sometime here to get some fresh air with the spiritual ambiance. Not far from the station, this place is suitable for family visit, to get a good photos, and to learn about Japanese Buddhism. Garden is located behind the statue, and there is an entrance fee.

Nice attraction. Not bad, Funny that they blockaded the view from the outside to the big Buddha so you have to buy ticket to go in and pass the blockade, the park on the side is nice and pleasant. Not much to see but the big Buddha is well built n detailed. Not far away from other attractions makes it a good addition to your list..

This is most definitely worth visiting if you're in the Kamakura area. It is truly a magnificent structure. Hard to believe it's been around for so long. I will say that I kinda feel like my hype was a bit much as I was slightly underwhelmed by the surrounding temple though.

Simple beautiful in every way! It is famous and is very busy on a regular basis but it is simply a wonderful sight to see. It’s an easy walk down from the Hase station.
