  The Showa Daibutsu, located at Seiryuji Temple in Aomori, is a majestic 21-meter bronze seated Buddha—the largest of its kind in Japan. Comparable in scale to the Great Buddhas of Nara and Kamakura, it has become a modern cultural landmark of northern Japan. The temple grounds also feature a five-story pagoda and a serene garden, offering beautiful scenery in every season: cherry blossoms in spring, lush greenery in summer, colorful foliage in autumn, and a tranquil snowy landscape in winter.
