Ikitsuki Daigyoran Kannon Statue

Today we went to the Ikitsuki Daigyoran Kannon Statue it is the largest bronze statue in Japan. It was completed on April 29, 1980. It is 18 meters tall and weighs 150 metric ton. Inside is a Buddhist Alter. It prays for world peace and the safety of those who are out to sea. It also mourns over shipwrecked people and marine animals. I was shocked at how tall it was.
