Mount Nokogiri, Mountain summit in Kyonan, Japan.

Mount Nokogiri rises 329 meters above sea level, featuring steep cliffs and a ridge line that resembles a traditional Japanese saw.

During the Edo period, the mountain served as a major quarry site, producing tuffaceous sandstone used in constructing significant buildings across Tokyo.

The Nihon-ji temple complex, established in 725 AD, contains Japan's second largest Buddha statue and 500 stone-carved Buddhist figures along its paths.

Visitors can reach the summit via the Nokogiriyama Ropeway from Hama-kanaya Station or hike through marked trails to explore the mountain.

The Jigoku-Nozoki observation point extends over the edge of sheer cliffs, providing views of Tokyo Bay and Mount Fuji on clear days.
