Rising dramatically along the Chiba coastline, Mount Nokogiri gets its moniker from the serrated ridge line sculpted by centuries of Edo-period stone quarrying. Explorers can traverse historic transport paths to discover the massive rock-hewn Buddha of Nihon-ji Temple, along with over a thousand weathered stone arhat statues nestled in mossy cliff niches. Thrill-seekers can venture out onto Jigoku-Nozoki, the daring 'Glimpse into Hell' lookout that cantilevers over a dizzying drop with sweeping panoramic views of Tokyo Bay. Combining dramatic natural terrain with monumental cliffside carvings and the towering 'Laputa Wall' ruins, this mountain makes for an unforgettable coastal trek.
