Going to Mt. Fuji made us want to do some actual mountain climbing. We've hiked up Takao-san several times, so this time we wanted to do something different.
I thought the name Nokogiri sounded familiar and then I got to the pictures. There's a Top Gear episode where the three hosts race through Tokyo to get to Nokogiri mountain! Actually, two of them team up and use public transportation while the other uses a car. These two links purport to be the whole thing, but I kind of doubt it, but it is a fun watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3i-HRxf8z4 part 1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUa0SfRukcM part 2 There's a wide shot at the end that shows just how enormous the Buddha is compared to the hosts. It's incredible.
Holy wow! That would have so been me! Find some trail leading up and later learning it's the most difficult one there is. XD I often think those hardest ones are also the most beautiful ones most of the time, simply to reward you for your toils... And that one clearly was a majestic one! Also kudos to Christian for the pictures!
Whoaaa, I don't think I've heard of this place before. But I was pretty far from Chiba so I'll have to remember it for my next visit. That Buddha looks amazing.
