Kotoku-in (Great Buddha of Kamakura)

Kamakura · Japan

Start your first morning at the iconic 13-meter bronze Amida Buddha, which has sat in the open air since its wooden hall was swept away by a typhoon in the 1330s. Kids can pay a small extra fee to climb inside the hollow statue and peer out through the ventilation windows, which they almost universally love.
