Sendai Daikannon is a massive statue of Byakue Kannon, which translates to “White-robed Kannon” and it is one of the largest statues on the planet. It also has what is known as the cintamani gem in her hand that symbolizes Nyoirin Kannon, the goddess of compassion. At the time that it was completed back in 1991, it was considered the tallest statue in the world, but other statues have since taken on that role. But to enter the statue, visitors must pay a fee first.
