Nihon-ji Daibutsu (The Great Buddha of Nihonji)

Nihon-ji Daibutsu offers stunning views, a great workout with steep climbing, and features a grand Buddha statue.

-What to Do: Explore the beautiful surroundings and enjoy the impressive views, visit the Great Buddha of Nihonji and other religious attractions on-site like small statues of Buddha and a large statue in the standing pose amd take the Hota station route for the shortest on-foot journey.
-What to Avoid: Avoid the pedestrian walkway to the attraction due to lack of sidewalks and tunnel sharing with cars.
-Tips: Be prepared for stair climbing for a good workout. Consider driving down the hill and parking at the middle hill parking lot for easier access than the mountain top parking. Bring 700 yen in cash for the entrance fee, and utilize the gondola or train to reach the attraction without the challenging pedestrian walkway.
