Enjoy the peaceful grounds of the Tokyo Daibutsu, surrounded by the Great Buddha and green maple leaves
Located in Akatsuka, Itabashi Ward, Tokyo, the Tokyo Daibutsu is a spot where visitors can take their time enjoying the Great Buddha, Jizo statues, ema votive tablets, and lush greenery within the tranquil temple grounds. In addition to the Great Buddha’s majestic presence, the temple grounds offer a variety of photo opportunities—from blue maple leaves to stone statues—as you stroll through the grounds.
Key points for photography
The key to taking good photos is not just to capture the Tokyo Daibutsu from the front, but also to pay attention to the various subjects within the temple grounds, such as green maple leaves, Jizō statues, and ema. By making use of the greenery in the background, creating a strong bokeh effect, or being mindful of the composition from the foreground to the background, you can more easily convey the serene atmosphere of the temple grounds and add depth to your photos.
