Very beautiful Great Buddha indeed. The Bamboo Basket Buddha is uniquely made out of bamboo,wood and paper with sutras written on them. I was not expecting the statue to be as beautiful in person. There are charms available in particular a beautiful pearl white Omamori. The grounds and building are easily seen in one hour. I highly recommend you combine this with either Gifu Castle or Inaba Jinja as they are mere minutes from each other.

Good feeling after walking in the sun, but the place doesn’t have air conditioned.. Pay 200¥ at the entrance and there’s a smaller Buddha and you can touch this Buddha’s body then touch a part of your body that has been painful somehow and it’s said to be healed.. The Buddha has big ears and big ears in japan are a sign of being rich or lucky. The mudra showed by the statute is the vitharka mudra, and it’s not a recent concept and you can see japanese using it widely.. interesting to research the origins of this mudra. The statue looks at you using this mudra as if saying “everything is perfect and you just on the place you should be, no worries” Has some paintings with a visual description of hell that I will update here soon as I search better. There’s a hand drawn painting of the interior, all in Japanese (check the pictures) Worth a visit, worth to sit and search if you like of japans history, history of Buddhism or just curious.

It was a surprise to see the big Buddha enclosed in the building it is. For 200 you get a great visit to a Buddha statue and other artifacts. It's nice. It's near the museum for the area and the rope swing to the castle on the mountain.

An ancient place with a very big Great Buddha, made up of wood and clay. And some other Equipment's which are used before 500 years ago.

I stay here for the whole afternoon,peaceful feelings with Gifudaibutsu,I love this sculpture. I donate some money for Daibutsu.The place restructure in these years.Come and visit it😉👍寧靜的佛寺與氣氛，附近有岐阜公園和古城。

Nice place to visit if you go to Gifu-shi. Very closer of Gifu Park.

Majestic Buddha in Gifu entrance fee of 200yen

Had a weird lil moment after walking there under the burning sun for 35 mins w no water (there is no konbinis around) and sitting in front of this huge buddha statue staring me in the face for 20 mins. Great experience, ¥200

The statue of Buddha was very big and amazing. But the ticket price is 200yen..Ots a bit high. You can feel silence there.

Very nice place! Huge Buddah.

Small and somehow discrete temple hides impressive Budda statue. Nice atmosphere

It is a greater experience. Fee is 200yen . A greater place to visit in gifu

The 13m high statue is really impressive!
