Real-time broadcast on how to see the Great Buddha of Kamakura.

1. For the Great Buddha of Kamakura, the famous Japanese writer Masaoka Shiki once wrote a haiku praising it: "The Great Buddha of Kamakura, which is not destroyed by fire or rain, may be an eternal Buddha." When you arrive in Kamakura, walk straight for about 500 meters from Hase Station to Kotoku-in Temple. The green Great Buddha of Kamakura is right in front of you, with rolling mountains behind it and white clouds floating by. This 13.35-meter-high bronze statue of Amitabha Buddha is solemn and quiet, with a peaceful face and a slightly forward head. Its shape and expression are very similar to the style of the Song Dynasty in China. 2. How to get to Kamakura From the hotel in Ginza, walk to the nearest Shimbashi Station, take the Tokaido Line with a transportation card, pass Shinagawa and Yokohama, gradually leave the bustling Tokyo, and arrive at Fujisawa Station in about 45 minutes. Take this monorail, which opened in 1902, and its romantic and cool name. Fujisawa Station is the starting point of the "Enoden". Buy a one-day pass (all-day pass) at the ticket machine and board the green train that travels through time and space. The "Enoden" has a total of 15 stations and a total length of 10 kilometers. Sitting on the side facing the sea, the beautiful Shonan coast is outside the opposite window, and the samurai town of Kamakura, which is known as the three ancient capitals along with Kyoto and Nara, is right in front of you.
