Video introduction of "Mt. Sawtooth" in Kyonan-cho, Awa-gun, Chiba Prefecture
What is Mount Nokogiri (鋸山, Nokogiriyama)?
The video is an introduction to Mt. Nokogiri entitled [“Breathtaking views at Nokogiri mountain known as saw-tooth mountain” Promotion movie【2017】], directed by Chiba Prefectural Government.
Mount Nokogiri, sitting on the border between Kyonan Town (鋸南町, Kyonanmachi) and Futtsu City (富津市, Futtsushi) in Chiba Prefecture, gets its name from its saw-like spiky ridgelines. A breathtaking panorama opens itself up to you from the 329m-high peak.
If you’re lucky with weather, you can enjoy Mt. Fuji (富士山, Fujisan), Mt. Amagi (天城山, Amagiyama) and Oshima (大島, Oshima) on the Pacific in a single sight. Especially, the nearby Three Great Mountains of Awa (安房三名山, Awasanmeizan), Mt. Fuji, Mt. Gotemba (御殿場山, Gotembasan), Mt. Iyo (伊予ヶ岳, Iyogatake), are a sight to behold. Immerse yourself in the pre-experience of hiking & mountaineering by watching the video!
Enjoy the Beautiful Scenery of Mt. Nokogiri through Hiking & Mountaineering/h2>
The main attraction of Mt. Nokogiri is hiking & mountaineering.
Mt. Nokogiri Nihon Temple (鋸山日本寺, Nokogiriyamanihonji), located on Mt. Nokogiri, is the oldest imperial temple in Kanto, founded through an order given by the emperor about 1,300 years ago.
Within its vast realm, one of its routes contains various tourist attractions such as the biggest stone-made Buddha in Japan, Sengohyaku Rakan, and the “View of Hell”.
A low mountain of just 329m, you can casually enjoy hiking & mountaineering with a route that takes you to the peak within a couple of hours.Some routes are unpaved, and it is recommended that you climb with exercise clothes and suitable hiking shoes on.
Mt. Nokogiri is a part of “Kanto Fureai-no-Michi”, a long natural hiking-course passing through the 7 Prefectures in Kanto.
The course is 1,799km long in total, and lets you indulge in the beauty of nature around Kanto, connecting Mt. Takao (高尾山, Takaosan), Okutama, Chichibu, Mt. Tsukuba (筑波山, Tsukubasan), Kujukuri Beach (九十九里浜, Kujukurihama), Boso, Miura Peninsula (三浦半島, Miurahanto) and Tanzawa.
A spot you cannot miss in Mt. Nokogiri is Hyakushaku-Kannon (Buddha), the guardian of traffic safety.
The Kannon, 30.3m high, was carved out of the stone over 6 years. You can watch this from 1:16 in the video.
Sengohyaku Rakan is the most prominent sacred place dedicated to Rakan in the world, replete with Buddha sculptures carved by the most eminent sculptors of the Edo period. You can watch this from 0:56 in the video.
No single pair of 1,500 sculptures share the same facial expression.
In the Buddha plaza, sits the tallest Buddha in Japan towering at the height of 31.05m.
He welcomes numerous visitors with his 6.5m face and 608 hair spirals.
The main attraction of the course is the Peak Observatory. The observatory is on the outcropped rock sticking out of the cliff and is known as the “View of Hell”. Be brave enough to peek down from this thrilling observatory. The video introduces this from 1:52. The video alone gives you the impact. The mountain is also popular for watching sunsets and sunrises.
Ropeway Route Makes Mt. Nokogiri Accessible for All!
Ropeway provides a good alternative to cars to reach the peak. Why not enjoy a relaxing 4-minute voyage in a coach with amazing scenery? The video introduces the view from the ropeway from 0:18. Take home the beauty of a myriad of colorful autumn leaves with you.
Summary of Mt. Nokogiri
A series of work entitled ‘Fuji Sanjurokkei’ by Hiroshige Utagawa, a Ukiyoe artist developed during the Edo period, depicts the mountain lively with the title ‘Awa Nokogiriyama’.
This suggests that Mt. Nokogiri was a sacred property of local belief from ancient times.
Kyonan, Futtsu, and Fuppo area in which Mt. Nokogiri sits is known as a port city along the Tokyo Bay, and restaurants provide cuisines with fresh fish.
Mt. Nokogiri not only is a site of beautiful landscape, it is an indispensable tourist attraction in Chiba where you can enjoy its history, art, local cuisine and hot spring.
