kamakura daibutsu temple, Japan

It's my five year dream since a great saint call Swami chidananda have visited this temple. One of the oldest temple located in Yokohama and it's really peaceful. This is such a special place it is hard to put into words. Don't mind the crowds, open your heart and experience being in the presence of the Buddha. This statue is a national treasure, and it was constructed in 1252. It originally was housed inside a building (which was later washed away by a tsunami at the end of the 15th century), and since then, this statue has remained outdoor.The statue is 13.4 m tall (including its pedestal), height of the cast is 11.3 m and it weighs approximately 121 tons. To visit the interior of the statue, there is an admission fee of 20 Yen. Admission ticket to see this statue costs 200 Yen per person.
