2025 Konosu Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in March)

#tokyo Kotoku-in Temple is a Buddhist temple located in Kamakura. This temple is known for its iconic bronze statue of Amida Buddha, also known as the Great Buddha of Kamakura. We were impressed by this huge statue of Buddha (after which we learnt that it stands at a height of 13.35 meters and weighs around 121 tons). Standing besides it made us feel so short, though we were highly amazed by it. The temple grounds also include other smaller statues, as well as a small museum with information about the history of the temple and the Great Buddha statue. #Japan

I came to Konosu to see the 17th Konosu Surprise Doll Festival 2022. This is a popular event, with the tallest pyramid doll display in Japan, and has been featured in news and variety shows. It's amazing that this is organized by local citizen volunteers. After seeing the Surprise Doll Festival, I had a craving for something sweet, so I went to Baskin-Robbins. They're also having Doll Festival! Ice cream with Mickey and Minnie doll display tiers is on sale for a limited time! The detailed decorations are neatly arranged in tiers and are very cute. Doll Festival was originally one of the five seasonal festivals, "Joshi no Sekku," and has a history of spreading as the event of exorcising evil spirits at the turning point of the season was combined with doll play. I also prayed for an early end to the new coronavirus.
