It was a beautiful temple. The pine trees in the garden are beautiful. Of course, the famous Great Buddha statue is also magnificent.

I visited on October 21, 2021. This place is known as the ``Temple of the Great Buddha''. When you enter the Sanmon gate, you will see the Great Buddha on your left. The precincts are not large. The goshuin was in a can due to the coronavirus.

In the precincts, there is a large Buddha statue with only a head (Kubi Daibutsu), which is about 3 meters high. It is said to grant wishes from the neck up and is popular among students taking entrance exams. The precincts were well maintained and very beautiful with a slight scent. If you have a chance to visit Wakayama Castle, which is about a 10-minute walk from Oka Park, it's a good idea to take a trip.
