I personally think this one can be skipped. The ride there will be longer than how much time you will spend at this temple. There's literally just a buddha statue in a big open field. Since that is the only thing to look at, it's a nice break to stop by and you won't be fighting tourists for photos. Only 300 yen to enter. Security guard was much nicer than the person selling the tickets.

Visiting the Great Buddha of Kamakura is a truly awe-inspiring experience. This iconic bronze statue, standing over 13 meters tall, is one of Japan’s most famous landmarks and a symbol of peace and serenity. Set against a backdrop of trees and sky, it offers a powerful sense of calm and timeless beauty. The site is well-maintained and easy to access, with helpful signs and a peaceful atmosphere. Whether you're interested in history, culture, or photography, the Great Buddha is a must-see when visiting Kamakura.
