Sawtooth Mountain, located on the Boso Peninsula in Chiba Prefecture, is an attractive spot where visitors can enjoy both spectacular views and history. From the summit of the 329-meter-high mountain, visitors can enjoy a panoramic view of Tokyo Bay, and if weather permits, they can see the Miura Peninsula, Mount Fuji, and Izu Oshima Island.
