Large Buddha Stature on Mount Shosha Himeji,

Mt Shosha is Sacred to Buddhism. The Shoshazan Engyō-ji or less commonly is a temple of the Tendai sect in Himeji, Hyōgo, Japan. It was founded by Shoku Shonin in 966.

The complex of buildings is at the top of Mt Shosha approximately 25 minutes by bus from Himeji Station. The mountain summit can be reached by either a one-mile hiking trail or Mt. Shosha Ropeway, and is often visited by pilgrims. Scenes from The Last Samurai were filmed there.
