Mt.Nokogiri | One day trip from Tokyo | Largest sitting buddha of Japan

Mount Nokogiriyama (鋸山) is a 330-meter tall mountain along the western coast of the Boso Peninsula. Spread out along the slopes of the mountain is Nihonji Temple (日本寺), a Soto Zen Buddhist temple, which was commissioned about 1300 years ago, making it one of the oldest sites of worship in the Kanto Region. The complex is extensive and consists of multiple areas, connected by a network of walking paths. It takes over an hour to explore them all.

There are various entry points into the temple grounds. The regular approach starts at the bottom of the mountain; however, most people enter further up via parking areas or by ropeway as most of the temple’s main attractions are located at higher altitudes. The temple’s main attraction, a 31 meter tall Daibutsu (Big Buddha), stands midway up the mountain. The stone statue depicts the Yakushi Buddha and was carved here over three years from 1780.
