Echizen Daibutsu

Located at the foothills of Mt. Hakusan, the Echizen Daibutsu is 17 meters tall, and watches over its home Katsuyama City. Although not visited as much as other “giant Buddhas,” the absence of large crowds adds to the feeling of zen one can experience while walking around the enormous complex. In the serenity of the main hall, visitors feel the quiet aura of the giant Buddha, flanked by nearly 1300 smaller Buddha statues set along the walls. Many of the smaller Buddha statues have “friendly” expressions that are quite uncommon in Japanese temples. “No two are alike” – so visitors might find one that looks similar to themselves.

At 57.8 meters tall, it is proudly the tallest castle in Japan! You will feel like a feudal lord as you overlook the entire city from the observation room on the top floor! Inside of castle, you will see bright gorgeous cherry blossoms paintings.
