Rock climbing in JAPAN

I am in Japan for 6 months, I was in Hokkaido in August to trek (Daisetuzan, shiretoko and Akan), it was so great.

Now, I look for some good rock climbing area around Tokyo, chichibu national parc, or in Japan in general. I live in Atsugi, 40 km in the south of Tokyo. I have climbed on the Kotakuji rocks just around Atsugi.

If anyone knows of any rock climbing area please let me know.

Thanks

I spent a month in Shin-Yokohama (south of Tokyo) and got to do a little top-roping and bouldering in the Kamakura area. That island off-shore has a lot of potential! Here are a couple of links that might help:
