Sendai Daikannon Statue - Sendai, Miyagi - Japan Travel https://en.japantravel.com/miyagi/sendai-daikannon/5504

It’s Sendai’s Daikannon statue. Daikannon is the representation of the Japanese Buddhist Bodhisattva, the Goddess of Mercy. And it is BIG. Soaring 100 meters (330 feet) into the heavens, the Daikannon stands firmly on a hill overlooking the city—and an adjacent golf course. I heard it also makes some guests in the nearby hotel uncomfortable, especially when they see the innocent deity peeking into the rooms when couples are trying to have some romantic time!

Hah! Love it

Last day in #sendai today, going to visit this statue!
