A journey to meet "Japan's most handsome man" 🧘‍♂️ A moment of tranquility at the Takaoka Great Buddha

A trip to meet the "most handsome man in Japan" 🧘♂️ A moment of peace at the Takaoka Great Buddha The Takaoka Great Buddha in Takaoka City, Toyama Prefecture, is a bronze seated statue of Amida Nyorai, about 16 meters tall. The statue, which was completed over 26 years of work, bringing together local copperware techniques, is known as "the most handsome man in Japan" ✨ I visited on a solo trip, and was quietly moved by the eyes of the Great Buddha, which gradually opened as I walked along the approach to the temple. The corridors inside the pedestal are lined with paintings of hell and Buddha, allowing you to spend a relaxing time 🧘♀️ It is also recommended for couples to take a leisurely visit. Strolling around the temple grounds is free, making it perfect for an "absolutely free trip". Why not take a trip to this place, where history and beauty come together in harmony, to calm your mind?
