The statue of the Kannon (Goddess of Mercy) built in Futtsu, Chiba. The structure, designed by Masae Usami and built in 1961, is 56 meters high and provides views of the surrounding Boso Pennsula and Tokyo Bay. It was built as a monument to world peace. Possible to walk up the staircase inside the Kannon up to the head, many windows and possibility to stand outside, 400 Yen worth to pay. Assome nature view, impressive statue. Been there many times with foreign friends, everybody impressed. Together with Nihon Tera and soutend of Chiba, this is a must to visit.
