The Standing Daibutsu!!!
Have you ever seen Daibutsu (Great Buddha)?
Normally Daibutsu is sitting like this.
But! Today I introduce you standing Daibutsu. Here.
This "Ushiku Daibutsu" is the world's second tallest statue.
The hight is three times taller than the Statue of Liberty.

Surprisingly, the elevator takes visitors up to 85m off the ground, where an observation floor is located.
I have been there once, because two of my friends told me "It's really moving to see it".
I thought they were joking.
But when I went there, I was moved....!!! I'm serious.
【How to get there】
From Asakusa, take TX-line to Kitasenju sta. (2stops/5min/200yen)
Then change the train to JR Joban-line, go to Ushiku sta. (8stops/45min/820yen)
From there, take a taxi (15min) or bus (20-30min) to the Daibutsu.
Also big outlet mall is situated nearby. Ami Premium Outlets
After seeing Daibutsu, how about shopping there?
