[Chiba Prefecture] Like an ancient ruin! Mount Nokogiri, famous for its view of hell

Located in the southern part of the Boso Peninsula in Chiba Prefecture, straddling Futtsu City and Kyonan Town facing Tokyo Bay, Mt. Nokogiri is famous for the "Hell's Peek" from the cliffs of Nihon-ji Temple near the summit, where you can see the world below. However, trekking to approach Mt. Nokogiri (329m above sea level) from the ground is also a popular activity. Mt. Nokogiri was a quarry for Boshu stone that continued until the Showa era, and the industrial heritage of the quarry remains vividly. The traces of the stone quarry, cut vertically and horizontally, look like the remains of a lost ancient temple. It is also quite interesting to see the vivid flea marks. In the mountain, there is a hidden spot called "Nekochoba" where cats are carved into the wall. (In the past, carts carrying cut stones were called "cat cars" and this is the place where they waited.) Highly recommended for cat lovers There is also a rock formation carved into a heart shape that is a great photo spot The path has many steep climbs and ups and downs, but it is basically beginner level There are various courses, including a path that leads to Nihon-ji Temple, and you can enjoy a peek into hell as a set *Climbing is free, but Nihon-ji Temple requires an admission fee Of course, you can also go straight to Nihon-ji Temple by ropeway In that case, you won't be able to see the stone quarry heritage You can also make a day trip from the Tokyo area by train, car, or Tokyo Bay ferry #Domestic travel record #Chiba Prefecture #Breathtaking views #Mountain climbing #Industrial heritage
