Have you guys heard of Nokogiri-yama (鋸山)? It’s a popular hiking spot in Chiba. What many people don’t know though is that there are old ruins hidden deep in the forest of the mountain!

It looks like something straight out of a Ghibli movie. They’re actually the remains of a stone quarry from the Edo period but they definitely have that ’isekai’ vibe!

At the top of the mountain is Jikoku-nozoki (地獄のぞき) or ‘Hell’s View’. A stone point that hangs out over thin air!

If you want to see more about this place, then please check out the latest video on our JapanPro YouTube channel (Link in Bio)
