I was amazed with the buddha itself. It was so enormous. I can't imagine how they built that. We also got the chance to enter what is inside the statue. We saw lots if golden buddha displayed according to clan. They really preserved it. I also enjoy the coy fishes in the mini pond beside the Daibutsu. You can actually feed them. It was so fun

The path shown by Google is not correct. The bus will drop you near the cemetery and you can walk from there. Search for the tourist information center. That is the entrance to the place. As of now just the statue to visit and the monkey show. Also, while it may be unfair to compare but if you have seen the Statue of Unity in India and are budget concious you can give it a pass, else a good day outing trip from Tokyo. Wait at bus stop two for the bus to the venue from the metro station. Also the place by default is not accessible they expect you to climb up and down a few flight of stairs.

My family and I visit Ushiku Daibutsu, One of the three largest Buddha statues in the world. There is plenty of parking lots available. We walk through shopping stores, buy tickets and walk inside and high up the statue. We really enjoy exhibitions on the first and second levels. We take elevator to the observation floor. We check out surrounding sceneries. They said, on clear weather, we can see as far as Mt. Fuji and Tokyo Skytree, of course not today.

One of the most beautiful places I have been in Japan. The tallest Buddha which is of 121m tall and it’s also in the Guiness world records. Very calm place which has a beautiful Japanese garden with a small pond with many ducks. If we purchase a 800yen ticket, we get to see the entire place. Especially inside the Buddha statue there will be 4 floors where there is an observatory deck too. One needs to check the frequency of buses from Ushiku station if you are taking public transportation.

The Ushiku Daibutsu is the world's largest 120 meter bronze Buddha statue. The statue is surrounded by a flower garden and you can go to the top floor when enter and use the elevator. In the garden patio there is also a monkey stage and show that you can watch for free after you finish your time exploring the statue. This was a really cool experience and I recommend you visit, it costs ¥800 for adults to enter.

Very peaceful and nice, recommend to buy tickets (additional 300¥ ) to go inside the statue where you can go up till the heart region of the Buddha statue through elevator (5th floor) but you can board it from second floor. To come down you need to walk down steps till 4th floor. It was crazy hot on the Saturday afternoon outside but inside was having cooling. One lady had heatstroke so car plenty of water and UV/Sun blocking umbrellas. There are a lot of souvenir shops inside and a room full of small Buddha statues and one meditation room. The koi fish pond and gardens around the statue is so peaceful and well kept. We had a blissful time apart from the scorching heat.

Definitely worth visiting and a really good experience if you have time in Ibaraki! It was only about 500¥ or so for entry and ride up inside the Buddha. Very friendly staff and easy to navigate around the huge park. There was also a section where you could feed koi fish and ducks. As well as a place to watch an animal show and petting zoo. There were food and drink options along with gift shops at the main entrance of the park. Inside of the Buddha consisted of a multi level and highly clean/ detailed museum.

Huge Standing Buddha Statue. 120m tall, the tallest in the world. You can also visit the inside however the nicest part is the outside area (park included). If you are in the area I suggest you to stop by, you won’t be disappointed.

Highly underrated spot. The pictures really don’t do it justice. It’s over double the height of New York’s Statue of Liberty. It’s a truly massive and remarkable sight to behold. Additionally, behind the statue is a free petting zoo where you can play with rabbits and other animals.

6th tallest statue in the world. Really cool to see in person. Recommend driving - it's free parking and there is a premium outlet a few minutes away for something extra to do in the area.

Very cool buddha. It's worth the trip! He is huge and you can go inside and about half way up in an elevator. Make sure it's included when you buy your ticket though. They have some nice flowers around the pond depending on the time of year. The big pond however needs some fish or something...it's nothing special. They also have picnic tables, to enjoy food while looking at buddha. A few shops are located at the entrance with souvineirs and sweets.

Remarkable Buddha statue hidden in Ibaraki prefecture. At the end of the visit, we were entertained by monkey performance.

Tallest Statue of Buddha (120 m), Born in Nepal, Memorial in Japan. Nice place to visit in spring sakura season.

The Buddha statue with a height of 120 meters is very amazing with beautiful views around it. And I also went inside and went up to the 5th floor. Inside there are also lots of Buddha statues on the walls. From the 5th floor you can see the surroundings from above. Maybe if it comes in spring there will be lots of cherry blossoms there

The 120m tall statue is amazing. there is also beautiful garden nearby. I visited in a rainy day in autumn. So the cherry blossom tree is not in season. But once it is cherry blossom season, this place will be beautiful.

So many Japanese didn’t know buddha burn in Nepal here in wall budha burn in Nepal

This Majestic statue has an elevator that brings visitors up 85 m (279 ft) to an observation floor . Visitors can even view Mt Fuji from this observatory platform if the weather is clear. As you follow the path leading to Uchiko Daitbutsu, you will also be attracted by the seasonal bloom, and this summer, we are seeing some lavender blooming along with other species such as sunflowers & fire forest. Plan your schedule or drive to Uchiko if possible as the waiting time for the public transport can be quite long. Tickets payment in cash only,

The bus was very full so I advise to get on one of the earlier ones. The buddha itself was gargantuan and imposing. You can get a temple stamp at the beginning and pick it up on your way out. Highly recommend walking around in the area in all the small shrines. They are half abandoned and in very cool places. My friend and I did a 32km walk back to Ushiku going through all the shrines.

Went to visit this massive Buddha in Ibaraki and the size was quite breathtaking . Interesting to be able to go up to the inside of the Buddha and observe outwards but sadly limited photography or window view. The place was nice but quite sparse public transport towards it , roughly one every hour. Would drive up if passing by.

Good place for one day trip inside park beautiful place to relax, lunch and just calm with nature.

Amazing Buddha statue. Inside you can learn about Buddhism, visit a shrine and visit places For prayer. You can also look out at the countryside. The garden around the Buddha are also beautiful.

120m tall Buddha is the main attraction. The buddha is very calm and one cant take eyes off from him! There is an observation desk inside buddha at 85m, some other galleries and souvenir shop. It is surrounded by beautiful Japanese style garden and offers flower beds based on the season. It also has small shopping area where you can buy local stuffs and souvenirs. Definitely a must go!

Very respectful and dignified It will take about 1 hour to visit the inside and outside Ticket price: ¥800

Embarking on this enchanting journey felt like a graceful dance choreographed by nature itself, unfolding beneath the divine and mesmerizing gaze of Buddha.

(Translated by Google) It was bigger than I expected. I have seen the Great Buddha in Kamakura, but it was far above it. The inside of the facility is very beautiful and I think that it is a spot where you can enjoy it even if you can enter the inside of the Great Buddha. (Original) 思っていた以上に大きかったです。鎌倉の大仏は見たことありますが、それを遥かに上回ってました。 施設内はとても綺麗で、大仏の中にも入ることが出来たりと結構楽しめるスポットだと思います。

(Translated by Google) It's a pity that we can only enter the pedestal on Sundays and holidays! ️ (Original) 日曜日と祝日は台座までしか入れなくて残念です‼️

(Translated by Google) It is a magnificent Buddha who suddenly appears on a quiet plain. It was a weekday so it was quiet. It's worth a look. (Original) 長閑な平地に突然姿を現す壮大な大仏様です。平日だったので閑散としていました。一見の価値は有りますね。

(Translated by Google) Hydrangea is very beautiful (Original) 紫阳花很漂亮

An excellent place to relax, refresh, re-invent yourself … man made wonder … parking available … easy access … place to visit both with family and friends.

It’s my second visit to this place. The first one I came in February. The second one I came last Saturday. The place is so nice to relax and hang around. Besides going around the park, you can go inside the Buddha statue, feed the duck and fish in the pond, and watch the monkey show. There are also some souvenir shops. My favorite is the ice cream shop. The flavor is based on the season. In February they have vanilla and Ibaraki apple. This April, they have vanilla and strawberry.

120m tall, imposing and serene Buddha statue. Ample parking space and a beautiful Japanese garden to complement the timelessness of the place. The inside of the statue has interesting information about its construction and a collection of small golden Buddha statues. I was awestruck by this place, having visited Kamakura & Nokogiriyama Buddha.

Awesome place to visit with an amazing 120 m tall Buddha statue. There is a beautiful garden and park within the statue. It costs separately for visiting the park and going inside the statue. We can go inside the statue and to go to the top level there is the facility of lift so you don’t have to worry about the stairs to climb...😊😊 If you don’t have your private vehicle 🚗 then be updated about the time table of bus 🚌.

The trip to the Ushiku Buddha was worth it. The well manicured grounds were in bloom and the area was tranquil. The views from within the Buddha statue (the main temple area) were pristine. With the attraction so far away from Tokyo, there were few other visitors which added to the already peaceful vibe. For those wanting an awe inspiring location without massive crowds, the Ushiku Buddha is the place.

It’s without any doubt,one of the biggest Buddha statues in the world.i made a youtube video also about it.its very beautiful and very large one that we can see it miles away.if you can go to visit in April(when sakura season) or try go at evening before sunset.but keep it mind ,its closed after 4.30Pm.if you can go around 2pm you can go around and plus you can go inside the statue also if you didn’t knew about it.And then you can wait for sunset in the parking lot and you can take cool pictures with sunset.believe me it’s freaking awesome when sunset hit the statue.thanks me later.

Verry nice place to visit, quite magnificent. Going inside the statue is not incredible but still fun thing to do

it was peaceful in the garden . Inside the Buddha was great . It had little statues of the past Buddha people, who enlightened. I made my wish and I hope it will come true. I really enjoyed my time there.

An incredible statue. Considerably taller than I expected with a beautiful gallery contained within. Definitely worth the extra 300 yen to go inside. Recommended if you're in the area

The Ushiku Daibutsu is an impressive bronze statue that should definitely be on your list of must-see attractions when visiting Japan. Standing at a height of 120 meters, it is the tallest bronze statue in the world and truly a sight to behold. During our visit in 2018, we were able to climb to the top of the statue and the view from the top was absolutely breathtaking. You can see for miles in every direction and the panoramic view of the surrounding countryside is simply stunning. The statue itself is beautifully crafted and the attention to detail is amazing. The peaceful and serene atmosphere around the statue makes it an ideal place to relax and reflect. Overall, the Ushiku Daibutsu is a must-visit destination for anyone traveling to Japan. Whether you're a history buff, a nature lover, or simply looking for a unique and unforgettable experience, this attraction is definitely worth checking out.

One of the biggest Buddha statues in Japan... To get inside the Buddha statue, you need to pay ¥ 900/person, and the staff will ask you not to take any photos and videos of the entrance area... But if you don't like to pay anything, you can still enjoy the park outside of the Buddha statue and roam around the souvenir stores at the gate...

This was a very relaxing place for a day trip. There was a huge parking lot so it was okay for road trips. The park was huge with lots of different sections - flowers, lakes, arts etc. The Buddha itself was a museum/ temple. There were lots of exhibitions inside - it could take hours to watch everything.

This is the largest bronze Buddha statue in the world. While you can see the Daibutsu from the parking lot, in order to see it head on and get close to it, you’ll need to purchase an entrance ticket. You can choose a ticket just for the grounds, or to go inside the Daibutsu. Depending on the time of year you visit, it seems like it can take a few hours to get to the museums and temple inside. During Golden Week, the line waiting to get inside was well over an hour long. One of the goshuin is only available from the 2nd floor of the Daibutsu. The seasonal flowers planted across the park were beautiful and made for great photo opportunities. I imagine when it's less crowded this would be a very peaceful place to come and relax. However, it is important to be respectful of the space. The park has signs and warnings about picnicking and camping out with food since this is a holy pilgrimage spot.

Good place for a day outing within 1-2 hours of travel from Tokyo!! Don’t miss out to visit the outlet mall next to this place and you get tons of food options

Very interesting structure, really huge. It has cemetery all around. Nice gardens and a lot of parking spaces in between.

でかいっす。立派です。 入館料は500円。大仏様の中に入るには別途かかります。入り口にお土産屋さんが数軒ありました。

広くて綺麗な墓地

Fun place to learn about Budda. Also feeding the koi fish. Go on a clear day in the spring. Will be worth it.

コロナの影響で、大仏さまの…④～⑤階は行けなかったですけど…とても素晴らしかったです。????

エレベーターが動いていなかったのが残念です。 猿回しや動物にふれあう場所もあり、子供連れには助かります

not much to see . couldn't go in to Buddah but still paid entrance 500 yen / person

ここでよく数珠を作ってもらっていましたが最近になり直しや製作ができなくなってしまったことが残念です。それにより行く頻度も少なくなってしまいました。是非再開を望みます。

The highest Buddha in Japan??

生で見ると迫力が凄い。仏像の中も博物館や資料館みたいになっていて見ごたえがある。

でけーよー！笑

大仏な迫力あります‼(^o^)

駐車場無料です　コロナで3Fまでしか 今はいけません

久しぶりに行きました！小動物を見に行ったのですが、コロナの影響で触る事とかは出来なかったですが、ポニーとか乗る事は出来ます！お猿さんのショーもやってます

Well maintained Budha temple and the huge Budha status. The celestial ambiance.

awesome place for finding peace do visit with family nd friends good time during sakura

Unbelievably tall bronze Buddha statue! Only caveat was that it was built in the 1980's. The view is meh, but the inside is very relaxing, you can also copy some boudhist words for 200jpy. The statue is very impressive!

Very beautiful place. You can see here a big statue, hall of 1000 Buddhas, write some kanjis on a paper with a real ink, see the museum of how this statue was built, touch Buddha's big toe.

Veryyyyyy nice beautiful inside

One of the greats Statues Of Buddha in Japan; so much big that i thought! Really amazing and inside the little.ones. so great.

Incredible. The shear size of this is mind blowing, well worth the visit.

Ushiku Daibutsu (牛久大仏) is a statue located in Ushiku, Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan. Completed in 1993, it stands a total of 120 metres (390 ft) tall, including the 10 m (33 ft) base and 10m lotus platform. The statue held the record for the tallest statue from 1993–2008. As of 2018, it is one of the top five tallest statues in the world. It was the world's tallest statue until 30 October 2018 when a statue in India exceeded Ushiku Daibutsu. An elevator takes visitors up 85 m (279 ft) to an observation floor. The statue depicts Amitabha Buddha and is made of bronze. It is also known as Ushiku ARCADIA (Amida's Radiance and Compassion Actually Developing and Illuminating Area). It was built to commemorate the birth of Shinran, founder of the Jōdo Shinshū 浄土真宗 or "True Pure Land School" of Buddhism.

I would love to go back here again during spring. There were many sakura trees inside the park.

とにかくでかい！の一言。 遠くから見ても明らかな大きさとわかる大仏。 近くにアウトレットモールもあり、買い物も楽しむことができます！

Very interesting feature in rural Ibaraki. The tallest Buddha Statue in the world, once the tallest statue in the world. The interior is modern yet very calm and can put you at peace as you wander about and learn more about pure land Buddhism.

(Translated by Google) About 30 minutes by bus from Ushiku Station. There were so many people. Is the huge Buddhist statue that is 120m tall in 1986? Since 1989 The one that started to be made. It seems that fireworks festivals are also held depending on the season It will be very spectacular. I could only climb to the 3rd floor due to the influence of corona, It was still high enough. (Original) 牛久駅からバスで30分くらい。 人がとても多かった。 120mもある巨大な仏像は、昭和61年？平成元年から つくりはじめまれたもの。 時期よっては花火大会などもしているらしく 大変見応えがあるであろう。 コロナの影響で3階までしか上がれなかったが それでも十分な高さでした。

(Translated by Google) I got a red stamp. (Original) 御朱印いただきました。

Was driving on the expressway and saw this giant Buddha statue, they charge an entrance fee and was very crowded. Many tour buses with Chinese tourist crowed the area.

(Translated by Google) Very quiet place to walk for the day, the walk inside the Buddha is worth it. There are some tables to sit and gaze at the Buddha in the shade of the trees. (Original) Lugar muy tranquilo para pasear el día, el paseo por el interior del Buda vale la pena. Hay algunas mesas para sentarse y contemplar el Buda a la sombra de los árboles.

Awesome!

今日は、7年ぶり来ました。?御朱印と大仏さんの中を見学しました?とても中が広くて、感激しました。

夜に行ったので、近くまでは行けなかった。 今度は昼間に来よう‼️
