kannonyama trip (gunma, japan)

From Takasaki station, we took a bus ride to Kannonyama in Takasaki City, Gunma Prefecture. The Byakue Daikannon (White-Robed Goddess of Mercy) is a statue, located in Kannonyama, built as a memorial for fallen soldiers of the Imperial Japanese Army stationed in Takasaki. Takasaki City proper as well as all three of the famous mountains in Gunma can be seen from where the statue is located.
