The white Kannon statue of Ofuna Kannonji Temple stands on a hill above the city.

"That big white Kannon statue you can see from the platform at Ofuna Station. It's actually the Ofuna Kannon Temple! When I actually visited, I was overwhelmed by its scale, which was bigger than I had imagined. You're sure to be soothed by the gentle expression of the Kannon🕊️

The quiet grounds are perfect for taking a short break between sightseeing in Kamakura. It might actually be a hidden gem?

Access/Tips
It's about a 5-minute walk from the west exit of JR Ofuna Station. Just walk up the hill from the station and you'll see the Kannon statue. The light is soft in the morning, so it's also great for photography📷
