Mt. Nokogiri Ropeway

The Mt. Nokogiri Ropeway connects the summit and base of Mt. Nokogiri in Approx. 4 minutes and is a popular gateway to sightseeing on Mt. Nokogiri with views over Tokyo Bay.

From the observation deck at the summit station, stunning views stretch out over Tokyo Bay to the Miura Peninsula and Izu Oshima. On clear days, you can also see Tokyo Skytree on the opposite shore beyond Cape Futtsu, as well as Mt. Fuji. Mt. Nokogiri has been selected as one of the Kanto Fuji View 100 Spots, and early morning service is operated for the first sunrise of the year. If you're lucky, you can see both the first sunrise and Akafuji, when Mt. Fuji is tinted red, at the same time. The summit station also has a shop, a dining area, and the Stone Quarry Materials Corner, which introduces the stone-cutting history of Mt. Nokogiri, a producing area of Boshu stone.

Within walking distance from the summit station is Nihonji Temple, home to the cliffside observation point Jigoku Nozoki, where you can experience the thrill of looking down over Tokyo Bay from a sheer rock face. Also here is the Approx. 30-meter-tall Hyakushaku Kannon, a large Kannon statue carved directly into the rock wall in memory of war victims and in prayer for peace, with a quiet but powerful presence.

The scenery changing with each season, including fresh greenery in spring and autumn foliage, is also part of its appeal. You can enjoy Boso's nature, faith, and views of Mt. Fuji all at once.
