This photo captures the sunrise from a crowded spot at Mount Nokogiri.

This photo was taken from slightly behind because the spot was already full. It captures the beautiful hues of the sky just before sunrise and the striking silhouettes. Mount Nokogiri is the ultimate spot to enjoy the first sunrise of the year. Viewing the first sunrise from its 329-meter summit, combined with the breathtaking vistas of Tokyo Bay and the Boso Peninsula spreading out below, is truly a spectacular sight.Especially from the famous "Hell's Peek," you can enjoy the mystical beauty of the first sunrise alongside the sheer cliffs stretching below. Before sunrise, the sky begins to turn red and orange, and the moment the sun slowly rises above the horizon provides a moving experience fitting for the start of the year. On clear days, you can even see as far as Mount Fuji and Tokyo Skytree, allowing you to spend a luxurious time welcoming the New Year amidst the vast scenery.
