Kamakura Daibutsu
Saturday May 05, 2012
Spent a day out in Kamakura with the main objective of seeing their Daibutsu or “Great Buddha.”
Buddha manjuu sweets!
You can pay a small (like 15 yen) fee to go into the giant Buddha.
Inside :)

This is a cool place! Malaysia have the same Buddha statue. The only different is they don’t sell this cute stuff from the temple. Did you buy the owl stuff ???
