Takasaki's Byakue Dai-Kannon (Goddess of Mercy). Photo by Brett Homenick.
The statue is quite impressive to see in person. Though it's quite far from Tokyo, I found the trip well worth it. It's interesting to note that the statue is just eight meters short of Godzilla's height in the classic Showa-era films. So if you'd like to have an idea of what it'd be like to see something Godzilla's height, the Goddess of Mercy has you covered.
