Takasaki Hakuei Dai Kannon
高崎市乗附町２７１０
A massive 41.8-meter-tall statue of Hakuei Kannon (White-Robed Kannon) located in Takasaki City. From the top floor, visitors can enjoy a panoramic view of the Takasaki cityscape and the Yatsugatake Mountains.
History
Constructed in 1936 by industrialist Inoue Hosaburo, this reinforced concrete statue of Kannon was the largest in the world at the time of its completion. In 1940, it was donated to Jigan-in Temple, where it now stands within the temple grounds of the Koyasan Shingon sect. Since 1976, the 'Amazake Sennin Kuyo' (Sweet Rice Wine Offering for a Thousand People) ceremony, held to commemorate the 40th anniversary of its construction, has continued to this day.
