Shin-daibutsu-ji, Buddhist temple in Iga, Japan

The Shin-daibutsu-ji temple features a wooden Nyorai Buddha statue measuring over 4 meters in length, created by Buddhist priest Kaikei.

The temple, established during the Kamakura period, serves as a historical reference for the reconstruction of the Great Buddha Hall at Todaiji Temple.

Within the temple grounds, visitors discover important cultural artifacts alongside Basho's monument, representing centuries of Japanese Buddhist traditions and artistry.

The temple offers guided tours departing from Iga Kobe Station, combining visits to traditional pottery workshops and kumihimo braiding demonstrations.

The temple complex includes sixteen consecutive climbing kilns from its founding period, demonstrating the integration of religious practice with pottery production.
