Bōsō Skyline & Nokogiriyama — Sawtooth Cliffs to Tokyo Bay Ridge Road.
Start on the Tokyo Bay shore beneath Nokogiriyama's quarried sawtooth cliffs and the vertigo-inducing Jigoku-nozoki Hell Lookout, then swing inland over the ridge-running Bōsō Skyline and Kanozan toward Kamogawa on the Pacific. It is a varied inner-Bōsō loop that went toll-free in 2019 and is open to motorcycles.
