Regarding entering the interior of the Great Buddha statue during high temperatures

Extremely hot days have been observed this summer as well.
Because the interior of the Great Buddha statue is likely to fill the heat, it becomes high-temperature and humidity than the outside.
Therefore, the day that a heat stroke alert has been issued in Kanagawa Pref., the entry to the interior of the Great Buddha statue will be suspended the afternoon in consideration of visitor’s health and safety.
Thank you for your understanding.
