I was surprised when I went inside! It was so gorgeous✨It was a very impressive facility. The top floor has an observation deck, a floor lined with Kannon statues, a floor where you can experience copying sutras, and much more! It's a recommended spot not only from the outside, but also inside😆🌟 📍2083 Kuno-cho, Ushiku City, Ibaraki Prefecture #GuinnessCertified #GreatBuddha #IbarakiTourism #trip2022

The Great Buddha is so big that if you get too close, you won't be able to fit the whole body in the photo. If you get the timing right, you might be able to take some great photos with the sun ✨📷✨ You can go inside the Great Buddha and see a lot of things, and the Great Buddha is also an observation deck so you can enjoy the view from up high, so it's highly recommended✨️

#2024wish Ushiku Chateau is a nice place to unwind. The Chateau was recognised in 2008 as a National Important Cultural Property. About a 50 minute ride on the Joban line from Ueno/Nippori stations to Ushiku station. It is an 8 minute walk from the station. Denbe Kamiya, the winery's original owner, was miraculously healed from an incurable ailment after drinking wine given to him by a French acquaintance. After that Denbe Kamiya wanted to bring wine production to Japan. His adopted son Denzo helped Denbe Kamiya realise his dreams by spending a couple of years in Bordeaux where he honed his skills on the art and science of wine making. After Denzo's return to Japan they built the winery and chateau in 1903. Since then the Kamiya family has had a flourishing business in Japan. Apart from making wine, they brew world class beers, distill whiskeys, liqueurs and also import wines from all over the world. You can purchase their products on site and also online. There is a restaurant too but unfortunately it was booked for a private party. Furthermore, by the end of this year they will be closing down the restaurants, barbecue garden, souvenir shops, winery and brewery. So, you can only stroll around the gardens and museums. So, better hurry and visit this place. Cheers !

#2024wish This is the tallest Buddha statue I ever saw. 120m in height and and made in bronze which is incredible. An elevator takes visitors up 85m to an observation floor where you are able to see the surroundings up to few KM away. The museum inside provides the history of the statue with in details of construction. You never feel that you are inside one of the top 5 tallest statues in the world. We spend more than an hour inside. Beautiful gardens with verities of flowers make the place a heaven. Highly recommended... In 2024, I want to visit this place.

#tokyotrip This place is called a chateau for a reason - they actually made wine here in Japan all the way back to the Meiji era. The buildings are authentic, garden is gorgeous, the museum shows the rise and fall of the Kamiya family.Its good to take pictures here and buy some souvenirs in the mini shop. The winery will be closed until 4pm only. Definitely recommend and entrance is free

#Nice park to visit A beautiful place right now. Cherry blossoms are starting to bloom, but they are not yet in full bloom. It is expected that in another week, they will definitely bloom throughout the area. Please come and enjoy them. I don't know how to explain it, it is not complete, but it is beautiful. Yesterday, when I went to see it, I had very little time, so I only saw the outside and did not go inside. They said that going inside will take you to a higher place. May you prosper...

The Great Buddha of Ushiku City, Ibaraki Prefecture, is 120m in size❗️ and has been certified by Guinness. It's close to Ami Outlet, so you can stop by on your way home from shopping. The viewing time, including viewing inside the Great Buddha, is about 1 to 1.5 hours.
