Kyonan in Mountain

4．Mount Saga
Mount Saga (嵯峨山, Saga-yama) is a mountain located on the border of Futtsu and Kyonan, Chiba Prefecture. Mount Saga has an elevation of 315.5 m (1,035 ft) and is one of the peaks of the Mineoka Mountain District of the Bōsō Hill Range. Mount Saga is home to one of the largest areas of narcissus flower cultivation in Japan.[1] The flowers are grown in terraced plots along the slopes of the mountain, mostly those facing Kyonan. The plantings are primarily of the Nihon variety of narcissus, which probably originated in south China and came to Japan via the Kuroshio Current.[2] Mount Saga has been used for narcissus cultivation from at least the Edo period 1603–1868. The daimyō Matsudaira Sadanobu (1759–1829), administrator of Shirakawa Domain in present-day Fukushima Prefecture, visited the area in 1811 and noted the mountain and its narcissus cultivation in his diary.[3]

5．Mount Nokogiri (Chiba)
Mount Nokogiri (鋸山, Nokogiri-yama) literally "saw mountain" is a low mountain on the Bōsō Peninsula on Honshu, Japan. It lies on the southern border of the city of Futtsu and the town Kyonan in Awa District in Chiba Prefecture. The mountain runs east to west, having the characteristic sawtoothed profile of a Japanese saw (鋸, nokogiri).It falls steeply into Tokyo Bay on its western side, where it is pierced by two road tunnels and a rail tunnel, carrying the Uchibo Line south from Futtsu to Tateyama. Both features are due in part to the mountain's history as a stone quarry in the Edo period, the marks of which are still picturesquely evident.
