Daikanmitsuji

In the early ‘90s, this enormous 100m statue of the goddess Kannon was built in Sendai by a private company. The statue, which was once the largest on Earth, unfortunately drew little tourism to the area. We insist that you change that now. The Sendai Daikannon statue is an incredible sight and a true Japan landmark: glistening white and towering over everything within reach, it’s one of the nation’s grandest spots that nobody even knows about.
