Superb Panoramic View of Kamakura.
This temple is famous not only for its Buddhist statues but also for its gardens, and you will not want to miss the view over Kamakura city and out towards the ocean from the lookout platform. Hydrangeas in bloom in springtime and the autumn colors are very popular with visitors. The principal Buddha statue at Hasedera is an eleven-faced Kannon Bodhisattva, which is believed to have been carved from the same camphor tree as the statue at Hasedera Temple in Nara. The statue is over 9 meters tall, making it one of the tallest Buddhist statues in Japan. Other cultural treasures, such as a standing eleven-faced Kannon statue, which was the principal object of worship before the current Great Kannon, are exhibited in the temple’s Kannon Museum
