A trekking tour exploring the highlights of 'Nokogiriyama,' a famous low mountain on the Boso Peninsula, with a guide. This is a special tour where you can fully enjoy the unique mountain in one day, where the remains of the 'stone-cutting industry' that supported the region and the Buddhist world of 'Nihon-ji Temple' stand back-to-back!
The tour starts with a walk through the streets of Kanaya, which flourished with the stone-cutting industry from the Edo period to the Showa era, and heads to the Nokogiriyama Ropeway Station. After entering the Nihon-ji Temple grounds and paying respects to the 'Hyakushaku Kannon,' we will trace the history and scenery of the former quarry sites, which look like ancient ruins. Afterward, we will visit highlights such as the famous photo spot 'Jigoku Nozoki,' the '1,500 Arhats,' and the 'Great Buddha' (the tallest in Japan as a seated, cliff-carved statue) while listening to the guide's explanations. Finally, we will descend by ropeway and disperse. *There will be a lunch break along the way.
Explore all the highlights efficiently in one day with a guide!
Nokogiriyama has many attractions, but for first-time visitors, the maps can be confusing, and the ups and downs can be physically demanding, leading some to miss the spots they wanted to see. On this tour, with the guide's assistance, you can efficiently visit both the 'stone-cutting industry' side and the 'Buddhist world' of Nihon-ji Temple, and deepen your understanding through their explanations.
