The Perfect 7-Day Japan Itinerary (Updated 2025)

"At Kotoku-in you’ll find a 13-meter (43-foot) bronze statue of Buddha built in 1252 that now sits in the open air after storms washed away the building that once housed it; admission to the temple grounds is 300 JPY and it’s about an hour from Tokyo (free with a Japan Rail Pass)." - Matthew Kepnes
