The path shown by Google is not correct. The bus will drop you near the cemetery and you can walk from there. Search for the tourist information center. That is the entrance to the place. As of now just the statue to visit and the monkey show. Also, while it may be unfair to compare but if you have seen the Statue of Unity in India and are budget concious you can give it a pass, else a good day outing trip from Tokyo. Wait at bus stop two for the bus to the venue from the metro station. Also the place by default is not accessible they expect you to climb up and down a few flight of stairs.

Definitely worth visiting and a really good experience if you have time in Ibaraki! It was only about 500¥ or so for entry and ride up inside the Buddha. Very friendly staff and easy to navigate around the huge park. There was also a section where you could feed koi fish and ducks. As well as a place to watch an animal show and petting zoo. There were food and drink options along with gift shops at the main entrance of the park. Inside of the Buddha consisted of a multi level and highly clean/ detailed museum.

it was peaceful in the garden . Inside the Buddha was great . It had little statues of the past Buddha people, who enlightened. I made my wish and I hope it will come true. I really enjoyed my time there.

My family and I visit Ushiku Daibutsu, One of the three largest Buddha statues in the world. There is plenty of parking lots available. We walk through shopping stores, buy tickets and walk inside and high up the statue. We really enjoy exhibitions on the first and second levels. We take elevator to the observation floor. We check out surrounding sceneries. They said, on clear weather, we can see as far as Mt. Fuji and Tokyo Skytree, of course not today.

The Buddha statue with a height of 120 meters is very amazing with beautiful views around it. And I also went inside and went up to the 5th floor. Inside there are also lots of Buddha statues on the walls. From the 5th floor you can see the surroundings from above. Maybe if it comes in spring there will be lots of cherry blossoms there
