It's quite a small place but surely you can enjoy it especially if you are into culture, underneath the Buddha structure you can venture inside a small room where you can see more of the miniature of various Buddha, it's walking in the past, surely a great experience.

This is a bronze Great Buddha sculpted with the distinctive facial features of Japanese men. He is majestic and grand, yet exudes a gentle and warm-hearted aura. From afar, he appears somewhat solemn, but as you approach his feet, you'll discover his tenderness. Such an exquisite statue of Amida Buddha exists nowhere else in the world.

It's a big Buddha, nothing much to add to that. It's close to the station and on the way to the castle ruins.
