Tateyama Area in the Bosco Peninsula Area of Chiba Prefecture (Japan)
Located in tip of the southern part of Chiba's Boso Peninsula is the Tateyama area. This is a very mountainous region.
This area of Japan is rich in history with many historical symbols.
There is a 50 meter Kannon which is a Goddess of Mercy. The first photo describes the height in Japanese.
This Kannon has been designated as a National Natural Monument. This photo shows the Goddess.
From the road, you can see the stone figure of Buddha at Nihon-ji Temple in the Town of Kyonan. It is carved into the mountainside.
The largest reclining Buddha in Asia is located on a mountainside.
Tateyama Castle is a very well known landmark. It was originally constructed in 1590 by a Samurai warrior whose name is Satomi Yoshiyasu. This structure was reconstructed in 1982. It is worth the visit to the top because the views are lovely.
The Boso Peninsula area is easily accessible by car and train from the Tokyo/Yokohama areas.
