Kamakura, one of Japan’s most iconic Buddhist statues.

In this immersive VR walk, you can approach the statue from the front, stand before its peaceful expression, and circle around it to appreciate its form from every angle. Beneath the open sky, the Great Buddha of Kamakura creates a very different atmosphere from the Great Buddha of Nara, which stands inside a vast temple hall.

As you move around the statue, you can see the gentle face, the flowing folds of the robe, and the broad shape of the back. This video captures the quiet beauty and lasting impression of one of Kamakura’s most famous historic landmarks.
