What to expect
Nokogiriyama Tozan Expressway
This tour is available for a fee. This tour takes you directly from your meeting point (airport or hotel) to your destination by car. If you wish to use the ropeway, a separate fee (apx. 10USD) is required.
Jigoku Nozoki (View of Hell)
This is a thrilling sightseeing spot where visitors can look down at the spectacular view from a rocky hill shaped like the blade of a saw, from which the name “Sawtooth Mountain” is derived. Although there are handrails, looking down from the 329.4-meter-high rock is a terrifying experience that will make you feel like you are looking down into hell. But beyond that, the view is spectacular. If you have the courage, please give it a try!
The 2,639 granite steps lead up to the temple, and visitors must be physically fit and wear comfortable walking clothes in order to visit the entire path. Even so, there are many spots worth seeing, even if you have to work a little harder, such as Japan's largest Buddha statue, the Hyakushaku Kannon, and the 1,500 Arhats, not to mention the spectacular view from the top of the mountain.
Nihon-ji Daibutsu
The Great Buddha, which was restored by carving a monolithic rock, is said to be the largest stone Buddha carved directly into a rock wall in Japan. Haiku poets Kobayashi Issa and Natsume Soseki have also visited the temple.
After lunch, you will visit an elementary school that was closed due to the declining birth rate and remodeled as a roadside station, where a marche, restaurant, and lodging facilities have been renovated while retaining the form that was once an elementary school. Why not take a break before you leave?
The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
