Nihonji Temple, touch the giant stone Buddha in the middle of nature

Nihonji Temple is an old Buddhist temple located on Mount Nokogiri in Chiba Prefecture, about 1-2 hours from Tokyo. It is perfect for nature and history lovers who want to take a break from the hustle and bustle of the city and experience the tranquility of the forest. The highlight of the temple is the “Nihonji Daibutsu,” a giant stone Buddha carved into a cliff face, over 31 meters high, which is the largest in Japan. There is also the “Hyaku-shaku Kannon,” a beautiful stone Kannon, and the “Thousand Jizo,” a row of Jizo statues along the path that gives a sense of mysticism and peace. You can take a train from Tokyo to Hamakanaya Station, then take a cable car up to Mount Nokogiri. If you want to do some light hiking, there are paths where you can climb and enjoy the beautiful nature and sea view. The budget for a one-day trip is around 4,000–6,000 yen, including train fare, cable car fare, lunch, and temple admission fees. This route not only provides a relaxing But you can also experience the spiritual power of a sacred place that has been with Japan for thousands of years. #Get a discount without relying on luck #Travel to Japan
