Nokogiriyama and Daibutsu

Daibutsu sits peacefully on the mountain side.

Across the bay from Tokyo lies the Bōsō Peninsula; to north end you will find Narita airport where a lot of people fly in to experience the wonders of Japan. My work in Tokyo always takes place towards the southern end of the Peninsula, in a town called Kimitsu, which I have written about before. On this occasion, I had a bit of time up my sleeve and so I asked my interpreter for some ideas of things to see and do. One of his suggestions was to check out the Ropeway up to the top of Nokogiriyama, Chiba prefecture's "sawtooth mountain".
