Visit the iconic Takasaki White Robed Kannon at Jigen-in Temple, a symbol of Takasaki City. Completed in 1936, this 41.8-meter-tall concrete statue offers a unique experience with its nine-story interior housing 20 Buddhist statues. Explore the statue's interior for a small fee (¥300 for adults) and enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding Mount Jomo from its windows. Located in the southwestern part of Takasaki, the temple is accessible by bus from Takasaki Station or a 20-minute drive from the Takasaki Interchange on the Kanetsu Expressway. Don't miss the charming souvenir shops and yakimanju stalls nearby. A visit during the cherry blossom season is highly recommended.
