Ushiku is home to the "Ushiku Daibutsu," a bronze statue so tall it is listed in the Guinness World Records. The scale is overwhelming, and the spiritual experience inside the statue is unforgettable. The city also features "Chateau Kamiya," Japan’s first authentic winery, where you can enjoy Japanese wine history in a beautiful brick building. The combination of a massive Buddha and a sophisticated Western-style winery makes for a truly unique visit.
