Mount Kobo, in Gamagori, is the home of a massive statue of Koyoasu-Daishi. During his travels in the 12th century, this Buddhist monk came across a woman that was having complications giving birth and decided to pray for her to survive and give birth to a healthy baby. This statue with him holding a baby is said to have divine power to aid in conception, labour, and increase health. It is around 100 feet and was completed around 1938.
