About

Mt. Kano (379 m) is Chiba's second-highest peak and part of Minami-Boso Quasi-National Park. From the Kujukutani viewpoint, ridge after ridge of forested hills fade into the distance, often with morning mist; the scene inspired Kaii Higashiyama's painting 'Afterglow'. Mother Farm is on the same mountain.
