Mt. Sekisonzan (Sekisonzan), with an altitude of 348 meters, is a mountain straddling the border of Kimitsu City and Otaki Town in Chiba Prefecture. The summit is adorned with three stone shrines of varying sizes dedicated to the Afuri Shrine, from which the mountain gets its name. The approach to the summit is marked with stone steps and a survey triangulation station. However, the view from the peak is limited, offering no expansive vistas of the surrounding landscape.
To reach the mountain, take a Nittou Bus from Kazusa-Kameyama Station on the JR Kururi Line and alight at the Kiiwa Garage terminal stop. A ten-minute walk from there leads you to the Nanarigawa Onsen and close by, you'll find a sign indicating the start of the trail. Following the sign that estimates a 50-minute hike to the top, you ascend toward Kayato Ridge. Taking a right turn on the path toward Mamenbara, you'll soon reach the tranquil, tree-enclosed summit.
