The Kotoku-in Temple was built in 1252, and was destroyed by a tsunami in the 15th Century and never was rebuilt. The Great Buddha that was in the temple, however, remains. It now stands in open air. The bronze statue of Amida Buddha is 13 meters high and weighs 93 tons, making it one of the largest Buddha statues in Japan. It remains a famous icon of Japan.
