This is a guided trekking tour around the highlights of Mt. Nokogiri, a lesser known mountain on the Boso Peninsula. This is a special tour that lets you enjoy the highlights of Mt. Nokogiri, a unique mountain where the remains of the stone-cutting industry that supported the region and the Buddhist world of Nihon-ji Temple are back to back, all in one day!
We start by walking through the streets of Kanaya, a town that flourished as a stone-cutting industry from the Edo period to the Showa period, and head towards Nokogiriyama Ropeway Station. After entering the grounds of Nihon-ji Temple and paying our respects at the "Hyakushaku Kannon", we trace the scenery and history of the remains of a quarry that once flourished as a stone-cutting industry and now stands like an ancient ruin. Afterwards, we proceed while listening to the guide's explanations about the sights such as the famous photo spots "Peek into Hell" and "1,500 Arhats", and the tallest "Great Buddha" in Japan (as a seated statue and carved rock Buddha), and finally we descend the mountain by ropeway and disband. *There will be a lunch break on the way.
With a guide, you can efficiently see all the highlights in one day!
Mt. Nokogiri has a lot to offer, but for first-time visitors, the maps can be hard to follow, and the ups and downs can be physically demanding, leading to some people saying they were unable to reach the places they wanted to see. This tour, led by a guide, allows you to efficiently visit both the "stone-cutting industry" side of Mt. Nokogiri and the "Buddhist world" of Nihon-ji Temple, and the explanations will help you gain a deeper understanding.
The observation deck offers a spectacular view of Mt. Fuji and Tokyo Bay!
From the observation deck you can get a panoramic view of Tokyo Bay, and if the weather is good you can see the Miura Peninsula and Mt. Fuji on the opposite shore.
There are plenty of photo spots!
