Japan is a great niche destination to visit ️ In contrast to the luxury of Tokyo, Izu is a slow, bourgeois city. He has a large room on the top of the mountain is half the mountain and half the sea, the camera can not photograph its beauty!! The camera really can not take the beauty of Izu, this life must come to see, Miyazaki Hayao animation world is real! Every time to take guests to Izu, all the way is a sigh, really want to let more people find the beauty of Izu, today to share the specific play guide, see my summary below.

🚗 Route planning
Day 1: Departure from Tokyo, upon arrival, you can first go to the nearby Onsen hotel to relax and experience Izu's onsen culture.
Day 2: Head to Mount Omuro in the morning to enjoy the picturesque scenery of the volcanic steppe. Then, head to the coast of Jozaki to experience the grandeur and tranquility of the sea. In the evening, you can head to the old streets of Izu to experience the local traditional customs.

Mount Omuro:

In addition to Mount Fuji, there is another volcano in Japan that is particularly worth visiting: Mount Omuro, located in Izu, and the prototype for the meteor crater in the movie Your Name! Especially suitable for photography enthusiasts, really as beautiful as anime!

At 580 meters above sea level, it looks especially like "matcha cake", so Mount Omuro is also known as matcha Mountain! Walking on the trail of Omuro Mountain, you can have a panoramic view of the Izu Plateau, the blue sea, the verdant mountains, the scattered towns, the mountains and the sea, which makes you feel relaxed and happy

Every year when the Omuro Mountain is held, the mountain has been burned over for more than 700 years, in order to get rid of pests! So only annual herbs grow on the mountain, no trees!

There is no admission fee for Mount Omuro, but you do need to take a cable car up the mountain. Wear comfortable shoes, because you need to climb to the top of the mountain to see the stunning view. The volcanic prairie at the top of the mountain is like being in a fairy tale world. May to August is the best time to play. Half mountains and half seas are really beautiful!! It's definitely worth it. Pay attention to sun protection, it is recommended to check in advance whether the cable car is open on the day, because the wind will cancel or open later.
The Tuanzi on the mountain is not bad, 300yan a, punch card can.




Jozaki Coast:

In addition to the famous attractions of Izu, Mount Omuro, the Castle Zaki Coast is also not to be missed. The Jozaki Coast has nine kilometers of magnificent coastline with views of the blue Pacific Ocean.
The Jozaki Coast is a lava coast formed by the eruption of Mount Omuro 4,000 years ago. In addition to the seaside tour trail, there are Menwaki Saitobi, Menwaki suspension Bridge and other attractions. Most visitors will put the Omuro Mountain and Jozaki Coast in one day, get off at Izu Kotoko Station and head to these two attractions. In fact, there is a special station on the coast of Jozaki, refer to the route map in Figure 2. It only takes 20 minutes to walk from the station to the beach, and there is no need to worry about waiting for a long bus or finding a taxi.

Ichizaki Coast Station is one stop before the Izu Plateau, see Figure 3. Although there are no buses at this station, luggage can be stored. The navigation route of the walk is shown in Figure 4, it is a straight line, will pass through the local rich villa area, you can see a variety of villas, very interesting, more than 20 minutes you can go to the suspension bridge of the Castle, the return is the same road back to the castle coast station. If you use Google Maps to navigate out may be a long way around the line, to 40+ minutes, directly ignore the navigation, go directly to the sea on the line, the road is very good to go without worry.

Once you reach the beach, enjoy the sea view, the sea in Izu is really beautiful. In addition to enjoying the sea view, lighthouses and suspension Bridges can be experienced, and friends with drones can enjoy aerial photography here. The latest two Izu Express trains from Ichizaki Coast Station to ITO Station are 17:21 and 19:37. Be careful not to stay too late and miss the last train.

The rocks here come in all shapes and shapes, making it a photographer's paradise. Remember to bring a camera to capture those unique moments. At sunset the sea lashes on the shore, flocks of seabirds swim in pairs, lighthouse lights flicker and time stands still.



Cactus Zoo:

If you still have time, you can stop by the cactus zoo to touch Capibala, as long as you feed it to touch the hair, especially docile! You can also see more than 100 animals! A lot of them are semi-open, you can get close to them. Buy Omuro Mountain lift tickets with zoo tickets and zhe! You can get to the foot of Omuro from the zoo. The restaurant in the park also has the Capybara set menu, which is a juicy beef burger, super delicious! Come to Izu so many times! I wish I hadn't come here sooner! Not to mention a lot of novel cactus, groundhogs, red pandas, owls, and so on a lot of cute little animals. Top of the stream Kapibala! A lot of them! And a little Kapibala! It's so cute. Feed, touch ~ as long as there is grass in your hand, the little guy will eat happily and run with you. By the way, just to clarify for the top stream, dolphin really doesn't stink.




Tips
Be sure to take care of the sun protection, and do not wear short skirts; The sea wind is very big, very, very sun at noon, be careful to layer out!

🚋 Sea view tram:

When you come to Izu, don't miss the tram with 180-degree view carriages. It takes you through mountains and tunnels with breathtaking views. Whether it is a red tram or a black black boat tram, it is possible to have such a carriage, so pay attention to it when riding
