Kenkonzan Nihon-ji Temple, perched on Mount Nokogiri, is a historic site celebrated for its colossal stone Daibutsu (Great Buddha), 1,500 carved Arhats, and the dramatic 'Peep into Hell' viewpoint offering panoramic vistas of Tokyo Bay. Accessible via the Nokogiriyama Ropeway or by car, visitors should be prepared for extensive walking on steep, often uneven paths and numerous stairs within the sprawling temple grounds, making comfortable footwear essential; it may be challenging for those with mobility issues. The temple is highly suitable for solo visits, though a guided tour could offer deeper historical context, and remains open year-round, with spring and autumn presenting particularly picturesque landscapes. A typical entrance fee is around 700 JPY per adult (excluding ropeway or parking), and a visit usually spans 2-3 hours to fully appreciate its scale and beauty.
