What other travelers are saying about Nokogiriyama Summit Station
I was late arriving and had to take the last ride up. Due to the ropeway closing shortly I was only able to stay 10 minutes and couldn't enjoy the hikes, but the views of Tokyo Bay at sunset were beautiful!
Don't be like me, plan your trip out here properly so you can fully enjoy the experience
It was truly a wonderful experience. Pay for the tram one way up & then hike down. The views are spectacular & breathtaking. You get to see the Pacific Ocean from a beautiful mount, & Japan's tallest natural Buda.
Been here several times. Bit far from tokyo but perfect for a day hike. The guiding signs are good enough but can get confusing at times. There have been cases of people losing their way in this mountain. Always carry a map just in case!
This place is a must-see for anyone coming to Japan... Please bring the most comfortable walking shoes with you, and when you get here take Ibuprofen immediately before you start walking, you will thank me later. The amazing views and The Humbling atmosphere of this place is absolutely breathtaking. The pictures truly do not do it justice.
If you are not packing your lunch here, strongly recommend have a simple lunch and a rest here before continue the visiting. Because to visit Giant Buddha Statue, a lot of walking and climbing steps is needed.
there is a little corner to explain the history of Mt Nokogiriyama - granite mining.
please go to the roof to enjoy a good view of the coastal line.
Yes, Mount Fuji is visible on clear days from the Jigoku Nozoki observation point. Visibility is best during winter months. Views depend on weather conditions.
The ropeway takes 4 minutes and suits those with limited mobility or time. Hiking takes 40 to 60 minutes and costs less but requires moderate fitness. Many visitors combine both by taking the ropeway one direction and hiking the other.
Plan 2 to 4 hours to see the Daibutsu, Jigoku Nozoki viewpoint, Hyaku-shaku Kannon, and 1,500 rakan statues. Allow 4 to 5 hours if hiking both directions.
Wear walking shoes with good grip for steep stone steps. Bring water, particularly in summer. The Jigoku Nozoki viewpoint can be windy. Hiking poles are useful for descent.
