Kyonan: The Gateway to Minamiboso
Kyonan
Kyonan is a seaside town located south of Mt. Nokogiri and serves as the gateway to the Minamiboso region.
Fresh fish and shellfish are landed every morning at the town’s two fishing ports, Katsuyama Port and Hota Port.
Nokogiriyama
Mt. Nokogiri rises along the border between Futtsu City and Kyonan Town, at the western edge of the Kiyosumi mountain range.
Its rugged ridgeline resembles the teeth of a saw, giving the mountain its name, which literally means “saw mountain.” For centuries, its distinctive silhouette served as a landmark for ships entering Tokyo Bay.
Offering panoramic views across the sea and southern Boso, the mountain can be reached by ropeway or car.
Highlights include the Great Buddha of Nihon-ji Temple, one of the largest stone-carved seated Buddhas in Japan, and Jigoku Nozoki, the dramatic “View into Hell” lookout.
Flowers
Thanks to its mild climate, Kyonan is known as a town where flowers can be enjoyed throughout the year.
Japanese narcissus begin to bloom in December, followed by early-blooming Yoritomo-zakura cherry blossoms and Somei Yoshino cherry blossoms in spring.
The ropeway provides an easy journey to the summit of Mt. Nokogiri, which rises 329.5 meters above sea level.
Near the top, the Juichishu Observatory offers sweeping 360-degree views of the surrounding landscape.
