The height of the Kannon statue is 62 meters (203 ft.). The dot on her forehead is a 30 cm (11.8 in) diameter gold plate studded with 18 three-carat diamonds. The baby she is nursing is 13 meters (about 43 feet) long, the same size as a full-size bus. Climbing the spiral staircase inside the statue, Unzen can be seen in the distance from the observation window in good weather. The "Hell and Paradise Museum" in the basement is also popular.
