Usuki Sekibutsu

Reviewed By kimitakas - Taichung, Taiwan

It is definitely worth visiting, or I rather say it is worth traveling to Kyushu to visit Usuki Stone Buddha. There are four different areas, you can see many statues of Buddha, which are engraved in grottos. There are explanations in multiple languages by scanning QR code. That is quite helpful. The area is not very big, and it takes maybe about one hour. In front of this site, there is a field called Stone Buddha Park. As I visited, flowers were in full bloom.

Statue of Kumahachi Aburaya

Reviewed By PercyBlakeney63 - London, United Kingdom

This is just outside the Beppu railway station and is a lovely statue to a man clearly loved by the community. Makes your heart swell.
