Here is a link where the big Buddha of Tochiji can be seen (you have to scoll to the end)

I really like that place :) It is so impressevie standing infront of this 10m high buddha.
First I just thoght "ok a big buddha, that can't be so different". But than I went inside and my thoughts changed :)
To going in a temple or a shrine gives you a total different fealing than going in a church. It is like you calm down and all stress is forgotten :)
Sry I'm kinda a freak in this ^^
On an internetpage I read that under the temple are many little buddha collected. Also many objects which are used in the famous movie "The last Samurai" with Tom Cruise should be found at this place!
