Great Peace Pagoda

There it is. If you've ever travelled by train between Narita and Tokyo, you've seen this one. This is a giant pagoda visible from VERY far away. A five-storey pagoda measuring an impressive 58 metres in height. It symbolizes the teachings of the Shingon school of esoteric Buddhism. It also features a sizable exhibition hall, an enshrinement of Fudō Myōō, and an observation deck at the top floor.
