Yep, that’s me on the photo above, chilling out by a place called 地獄のぞき (jigoku nozoki), which literally translates to “Peep of Hell”

What’s so “hell” about this place? 
It seems so normal..

The place itself, is located on the top of 鋸山 (nokogiriyama) - 1081 ft, it seems like you can reach the clouds in the sky. 
Tiring, but, totally worth it.

The Jigoku Nozoki is located on the other side of this big rock,

The wind was kinda strong that day, but the weather was clear,

Let’s proceed to the Jigoku Nozoki! 
Start by climbing this steep rock, there’s no stairs or something like that, be careful and find a perfect place to stand on your feet.

And then, you will have to go all the way down to our main goal. 
If you are wearing heels or something like that, I think you should give up on seeing the Jigoku Nozoki, the rocks are uneven. 
If you are afraid of heights, you might also reconsidering to give up on seeing the “Hell”.

And here’s the “Hell” itself, Chiba and ocean. 
Despite its name, the view is absolutely heavenly.

Do you have any idea why the place is called Jigoku Nozoki. 
Because the place is located at the very end of a hanging wall, part of a cliff, when you look from the side, this part looks like it would fall off at anytime. 

Do you have the guts to visit the Jigoku Nozoki and stand on the very end of it? :D
