Sightseeing

Message from Empty Japan

Visit Nokogiriyama, one of the most breathtaking and unique places I’ve been to in Japan. This mountain offers impressive views and rich cultural landmarks. Explore sacred temples, see the giant Buddha statue, and enjoy the peaceful scenery from the mountain’s cliffs.

Recommended arrival time at the first location: 10:00-11:00 AM

Quick summary of the day:

  • Ride the cable car to the top of Nokogiriyama

  • Walk along trails with beautiful views

  • Visit local Temple and its giant Buddha

  • Explore ancient rock carvings and statues along the mountain

  • Visit delicious seafood restaurant for local specialties

IMPORTANT:

  1. Includes a moderate 25 minute hike up stairs - comfortable footwear is recommended.

  2. The ropeway may be closed due to rain or strong winds, so it’s best to choose days with good weather. You can find daily updates on the ropeway’s operating status on their website:
