WHAT YOU VISIT
Seiryuji Temple
Built in 1982, the Buddhist temple sits in a lush and serene setting which houses the Showa Daibutsu, Japan's largest bronze seated Buddha statue. Constructed in bronze, it stands 27 meters tall (88 feet) including the base and weighs 220 tons. The five-story pagoda was built from natural Aomori cypress wood and the main hall was built entirely from cypress.
Seibi-en Japanese Garden
Covering an area of 9,360 square meters (100,800 square feet), the 125-year-old garden is a designated National Scenic Spot, offering an idyllic landscape of fountains, Japanese garden and rare architecture which mixed Japanese and Western. It's fragrant with weeping willows, junipers and pines, and you will discover an unusual two-story house that combines Japanese and Western architectural styles. Look for a special yew tree, trimmed in the shape of the god said to have created the earth and heaven.
Sannai Maruyama Archaeological Ruins
Designated as a Special National Historical Site of Japan and UNESCO World Heritage Site, Sannai Maruyama is one of Japan's largest historical sites consisting of remains of human settlement of the Jômon-period from approximately from around 13,000 to 300 B.C. Explore replicas of dwellings and other structures on the grounds and view artifacts.
