Did you know that you don't have to pay to get in? It's considered a "Recommended Donation". But if you don't pay you don't get a handy brochure and you will feel guilty. So pay up, cheapskate!! ;-)

Impressive Buddha statue that is bigger than it seems when you first take a glimpse of it at the entrance. For a small fee you can even enter inside the statue and see the construction

Absolutely beautiful. You can see I believe the second largest Buddah statue here. You can also go inside the statue for 20 yen but there's not much to see in there.

鎌倉を代表する観光地の一つ。正称は高徳院。浄土宗の寺院で山号は大異山、寺号は大異山高徳院清浄泉寺。創建年・開基者は不詳であるが鎌倉時代と推測される。「鎌倉の大仏」と通称される本尊の金銅阿弥陀如来坐像は建長4年 (1252年) 鋳造に着手されたもので国宝。何度も後世に渡って補修されている東大寺の大仏とは違い、ほぼ造像当初の姿を保っている点も貴重である。

大きな地震が来たら、台座と大仏は別々に離れて揺れる免震構造に1960年ごろ改修され、合わせて首が強化プラスチックで補強されています。もちろん外観からはわかりませんけどね。

大仏の高さは11.31m(台座を含めると13.35m)、重量約121tあり、現在の金鋼仏は1252年(建長4)に鋳造が始められ、仏像としては鎌倉で唯一の国宝。完成当時は全身に金箔が施され、大仏殿内に安置されていたが、その後に地震や津波で大仏殿が崩れ、露座の大仏になっている。境内には、大仏を詠んだ与謝野晶子の歌碑のほか、3基の文学碑が立っている。
