Mount Kanō

Mount Kanō is a summit in the Bōsō Hill Range standing at 379 meters elevation. The peak overlooks Tokyo Bay and the Kujukutani Valley, with dense pine forests covering the surrounding slopes.

For centuries this mountain has been counted among the Three Mountains of Bōsō, alongside Mount Nokogiri and Mount Kiyosumi. This status reflects its long importance in the region's geography.

The painter Kaii Higashiyama drew inspiration from the landscape here when creating his work 'Afterglow'. This connection shows how the natural surroundings have moved creative minds over the years.

The mountain can be reached by public transport from Tokyo using the JR Keiyo-Uchibo Line to Sanuki-machi Station. From there, a bus service connects visitors toward the summit area.

The dense pine forests around the mountain create a distinctive pattern of blue hills that appears and shifts with each season. This changing view gives visitors something different to discover throughout the year.
