Introduction
The Ushiku Daibutsu in Ushiku, Ibaraki, is a ~120-metre bronze Amitabha statue that long ranked among the world's tallest Buddhas. Inside, levels include the 'World of Light' exhibit and Muryoju Hall; from near the top you overlook the countryside, and the garden before it rotates flowers through the seasons — a rare giant Buddhist landmark in Kanto.
