Extremely hot days have been observed this summer as well.
Because the interior of the Great Buddha statue is likely to fill the heat, it becomes high-temperature and humidity than the outside.
Therefore, the day that a heat stroke alert has been issued in Kanagawa Pref., the entry to the interior of the Great Buddha statue will be suspended the afternoon in consideration of visitor’s health and safety.
Thank you for your understanding.

During Golden Week (Japan’s consecutive holidays from the end of April to the beginning of May), we will only be distributing GOSHUIN with pasted paper in order to ease crowding.
There are two types of GOSHUIN available: year-round and seasonal special version.

Period:
From 26th April to 5th May
Time:
From 8:00 to 16:30
Admission fee:
year-rounnd original 300yen
seasonal special version 600 yen

We will start distributing early summer limited special GOSHUIN from April 20th (Sun.).
It is a double-page spread with a 1-page spread that depicts the golden Great Buddha of the past, surrounded by hydrangea.
Due to the limited number, it will end as soon as it runs out.

Fee: 600 yen

Please refrain from flying drones in the precincts of Kotoku-in. And we also ask you to refrain from using selfie sticks in the interior of the statue. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
