Kyonan, the gateway to Minamiboso
Mt. Nokogiri
Mt. Nokogiri (Nokogiriyama) rises on the border of Futtsu and Kyonan, at the western end of the Kiyosumi range. Its jagged, saw-tooth ridge has long been a landmark for ships entering Tokyo Bay. Commanding a view over the Minamiboso sea, it can be reached by ropeway or by car. The Great Buddha of Nihonji Temple, the largest seated stone Buddha in Japan, and the Jigoku Nozoki "Hell Peek" are well worth seeing.
Flowers
With its mild climate, Kyonan is known as a town where flowers bloom all year round. Japanese daffodils begin to bloom in December, followed by Yoritomo (Kawazu) cherry blossoms and, in spring, Somei-Yoshino cherries.
