Bronze Statue in Ibaraki Prefecture near Ami Premium Outlets

Daibutsu literally means “a large statue of Buddha,” but no one would expect it to be this big!!!

This is “Ushiku Daibutsu” in Ushiku, Ibaraki Prefecture. It is 120 meters tall and the tallest bronze statue in the world.

Inside of the Buddha, there are five floors, where the visitors can appreciates small Buddha statues and transcribe a sutra.

In the same town, there is an outlet mall called “Ami Premium Outlets,” and because the statue is so big, you can see the head and the torso from there.
