Tokyo Bay Kannon is a 56m-high statue of Kannon built at the Minami Boso National Park at the top of Mt. Otsubo overlooking Tokyo Bay. This statue was erected in 1958 and has been a landmark ever since. Its appearance is of a peaceful face that wishes for our happiness and a peaceful world. The sculptor of Tokyo Wan Kannon is Mr. Ko Hasegawa, a sculptor who won the International Grand Prix. There are many other works by Mr. Hasegawa in Kannon's womb. The view of Tokyo Bay from the “heavenly world” the height of the crown) is superb, and on a clear day, Mt. Fuji and the sunset can be seen.
