Happy SUNday!

Pick the hottest day in July, and then go to Kamakura.

The Great Buddha of Kamakura (鎌倉大仏, Kamakura Daibutsu).

The statue was cast in 1252, initially inside a large temple hall. However, typhoons and a tsunami destroyed the temple buildings multiple times in the 14th and 15th centuries. So, since the late 15th century, the Buddha has stood in the open air.

Another interesting view of this great statue.
