Kotokuin Temple is located at the west side of Kamakura.
The name of "Kokukuin" may not be well known, even for Japanese,
but it is very well known as for the great Buddha, "Kamakura Daibutsu".

It is not sure when Kotokuin Temple was built.
As it is the fixed theory that the great Buddha stature started to be built in 1252,
the temple would be built by the middle of thirteenth century.

If you walk to the north from Hase Station on the Enoshima Electrical Railway,
so called the "Enoden" line, with following other sightseer, you will reach to Kotokuin Temple in ten minutes.

Afteer passing through the Deva Gate, you will see the great Buddha statue, "Kamakura Daibutsu".
The Buddha statue is a symbol of Kamakura, where used to be the capital of Japan during the Kamakura Age
(1185 - 1333) .

You are able to go inside the statue.

You can see that the statue consists of several parts.
The huge hole shown in the above picture is a head portion of the statue.

江ノ電の長谷駅から北に向かうと、大仏のある高徳院に着きます。
高徳院がいつ建てられたか判っていないどうですが、大仏は13世紀半ばに建造されたそうです。
