It is literally "saw mountain" in Japanese, which is a low mountain (Elevation:329.5m / 1,081 ft) on the Boso Peninsula in Chiba Prefecture. It falls steeply into Tokyo Bay on its western side, where it is pierced by two road tunnels and a rail tunnel, carrying the Uchibo Line south from Futtsu to Tateyama.
The western side of the mountain is the site of magnificent Nihon temple complex, which is the home
of two Daibutsu sculptures, a huge seated carving of Yakushi Nyorai that at 31.05 metres (101.9 ft) tall is the largest pre-modern, stone-carved Daibutsu in the country,and the Hundred-shaku Kannon, a tall relief image of Kannon carved into one of the quarry walls as well as 1500 hand-carved sculptures, which combined with the panoramic view of the Boso Hills and Tokyo Bay, make Mount Nokogiri a popular tourism destination.
The temple is easily accessible by road and by a cable car, the Mt Nokogiri Ropeway, which operates from Hamakanaya Station on the JR Uchibo Line to a lookout deck near the top of the temple site.
