The Buddhist temple Kotoku-in is located in the city of Kamakura outside of Tokyo.
The Great Buddha Daibutsu is a bronze statue of Amida Buddha and is considered one of the most famous icons of Japan. The statue stands at 13.35 meters high and weighs approximately 93 tons. The statue was cast in 1252 and was originally located inside a large wooden temple hall. The temple buildings were washed away by a tsunami tidal wave in 1495, and since then the Buddha stands out in the open.
