- What to expect
-
Upon picking you up at your hotel, we head to Chiba Prefecture, where we ascend Mt. Nokogiri via cable car, named for its saw-like shape and historical mining of marble and stone used in constructing the expansive Buddhist complex, Nihon-ji. From the observatory atop the mountain, situated approximately 400 meters above sea level, you can enjoy panoramic views of Tokyo Bay. On clear days, you can discern the skyline of the metropolis and, occasionally, even catch a glimpse of Mount Fuji in the distance!
