The Great Buddha of Kamakura is not the only 'great' Buddha in Japan, but he is the only one you can enter, by buying a ticket, through a door located smack in the middle of his big, brass belly. Sitting 11 meters tall, the brass Buddha, or Daibutsu, is best honored by the faithful placing flowers and oranges at his feet. This Daibutsu used to sit in a small, wooden house but he was rendered homeless after a tidal wave, tsunami, washed it away.
