• Boom! The "Kamakura Great Buddha"

Standing at 13.5 meters including its base, the Kamakura Great Buddha is equivalent to the height of a 4-story building. Construction began in 1252 (the 4th year of the Kencho era) during the Kamakura period. Initially, the Great Buddha was covered in gold leaf and housed inside a building. Today, it stands outdoors in its bronze color, but the statue itself is the same as when it was first built. It is the principal image of the high virtue temple called Kōtoku-in, and its formal name is "Copper Amida Nyorai Seated Statue", and it is designated as a national treasure.

• Shining Sea Views – Enoshima Tour: "Enoshima Benzaiten, Nakamise Street, and Enoden Ride"
