Plan description

A private trekking tour with a guide around the sights of Mt. Nokogiri, a lesser-known mountain on the Boso Peninsula. This is a special tour that allows you to enjoy the sights 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, which flourished as a stone-cutting industry from the Edo period to the Showa period, and then head to the Nokogiriyama Ropeway Station. After entering the grounds of Nihon-ji Temple and worshiping the "Hyakushaku Kannon," we trace the scenery and history of the remains of the quarry, which once flourished as a stone-cutting industry and now stands like an ancient ruin. After that, we proceed while listening to the guide's explanations about the sights such as the famous photo spots "Peeking into Hell" and "1,500 Arhats," and the tallest "Great Buddha" in Japan (as a seated statue and rock-carved Buddha), and finally descend the mountain by ropeway and disband. *There will be a lunch break along the way.

With a guide, you can efficiently see all the highlights in one day!

Nokogiriyama has a lot to offer, but for first-time visitors, the map 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 Nokogiriyama 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!

There are many photo spots on Mount Nokogiri, including the famous "Hell's Peek." If you go with a guide, they will help you take photos!

Plan attractions

Nokogiriyama Ropeway You can get a panoramic view of Tokyo Bay from the ropeway. When the weather is good, you can even see Mt. Fuji clearly on the opposite shore!

Hyakushaku Kannon This large Kannon statue, measuring approximately 30 meters in length, was carved into the rock face of a quarry near the summit in 1966 over a period of six years.

Rock Stage Iwabutai is the remains of the last quarry that continued quarrying until 1985, and here you can observe the changes that have come with mechanization of work.

Peek into Hell This is a thrilling photo spot where you can look down from the tip of a wall that remains in the air. The recommended angle to take the photo is from the Ruriko Observatory opposite.

Laputa's Wall The maximum vertical dimension of this cliff is 96m. Its magnificent scenery reminded people of the Ghibli movie "Castle in the Sky", and it eventually came to be called "Laputa's Wall."

1,500 Arhat statues During the Edo period, the group of 1,553 stone Buddha statues attracted many worshippers. They blend into the natural surroundings and are said to have no two faces the same.

Big Buddha Square After many events since the Edo period, the Great Buddha was carved from the entire stone mountain in 1969, and is 31.05m tall. It is the largest rock-carved Buddha in Japan.
