It is said that Mount Fuji rewards early risers. Compared to Lake Kawaguchiko, I prefer Lake Yamanaka. Although there was no "reverse Fuji," I was already very satisfied. There was sunrise, swans, and Mount Fuji. 🚗6:30 Hirano Lakeside (Hirano no Hama) Took a taxi to Hirano no Hama. There were swans, sunrise, and Mount Fuji. 🚴10:00 Shiratori-hama After 7:00, there's a bus. Took the bus back to the hotel and rented a bicycle with electric assist. It wasn't tiring. Cycling around the lake took 2 hours. Gave up on "the park" as it opens at 11:00 and there were already many people waiting for viewing spots at 10:00. But actually, just a little bit past "the park," the scenery was also amazing. There's no need to wait specifically. After cycling around the lake, had brunch at Denny's. In the afternoon, took a bus to Lake Kawaguchiko. A perfect day. ❗️Tips The lake bus only starts running at 7:00. To see the sunrise early, you need to take a taxi or stay near Hirano. There are swans in many places, especially at Shiratori-hama, and also at Hirano. Bicycle rentals are available from 9:00 for JPY 2,000 for two hours. Rented from an elderly gentleman near Shiratori-hama. Two hours is enough to cycle around the lake and take photos. You can choose a hotel in Hirano or near a bus stop, which is very convenient.

🚌 Transportation and Surroundings Convenient location, 10 minutes' walk from Ito Station. However, please note that the hotel itself does not directly face the sea view, but if you want to enjoy the sea view while soaking in the hot spring, you can choose the nearby KAI Anjin. [KAI Anjin] ⚓ The hotel is located in Ito City, Shizuoka Prefecture, near the historical site of the navigator William Adams, with a strong marine theme. ⚓ The design of the lobby incorporates ship elements, using artworks made of old ship materials to present a nautical atmosphere. The public space of the hotel is also full of artistic sense. ⚓ When you check in, you will receive a boarding card, as if you are taking a passenger ship, bringing you an immersive check-in experience. 🔹Hotel Facilities🔹 The hotel's rooms combine Western and Japanese design, bringing a home-like warmth. The hot spring bath on the top floor, whether it is an indoor pool or an open-air pool, has a vast sea view in front of you. During the festival, you can also enjoy the beautiful fireworks while soaking in the hot spring. You can experience the outdoor hot spring ♨️ pool in the morning, where the horizon and sunrise complement each other, and the scenery is so beautiful that it is intoxicating. There is also a designed open-air terrace on the top floor, where you can enjoy the sunshine during the day and feel the open-air bar at night, and see the stars. 🔹Dining Experience🔹 KAI Anjin offers a one-night, two-meal service, with breakfast and dinner being kaiseki cuisine, combining seasonal ingredients from Izu, rich in color and delicious. For breakfast, with a beautiful sea view, the porridge and dishes complement each other, and you can taste it carefully, as if you have entered another world. 🏨 Environment and Facilities The design theme of KAI Ito is "camellia", and guests can experience the process of squeezing camellia oil. The hotel's garden landscape is quiet and beautiful, and the koi fish in the pond swim, giving people a feeling of a paradise. The decoration in the room uses the fine lines of flowers and plants in Izu, showing the changes of the four seasons. The hotel also offers tea culture experience activities, allowing you to experience the local traditional culture.

A manga-like landscape just 3 hours from Tokyo! I took a birthday vacation in September and decided to spend two days in Izu to see the mountains and the sea. 🍵 From the Omuroyama, the filming location of "Your Name," to the shimmering blue-green rocky coast, to the various open-air hot springs with sea views, Izu is the perfect place to relax and unwind! 📍Two-day itinerary & guide Day 1️⃣ Morning: Tokyo - Izu-Atagawa Station Afternoon: Jogasaki Coast Transportation: Navigate to "Izu Oceanic Park." Take the train from Atagawa for 3 stops to "Jogasaki Coast Station," a small unmanned station. Swipe your Suica card to exit the station. There are signs for "Kadowaki Suspension Bridge" and "Izu Oceanic Park" at the entrance. Just follow the signs, no need to navigate. 🏠 You will pass through a Japanese-style villa area with many beautiful small houses. 📸 The best spot to take a panoramic photo of the Kadowaki Suspension Bridge is the observation deck to the north. Day 2️⃣ Morning: Hotel - Komuroyama Afternoon: Return to Tokyo ⚠️ I originally planned to visit Omuroyama! But when I went, the cable car was closed due to lightning the day before! So be sure to check the operating status before you go to avoid disappointment! If it's closed, head to Komuroyama instead! ⛰️ Komuroyama is also beautiful! You can see Mount Fuji on one side, Matcha Omuroyama on the other, and the sea on the other... It feels like a manga scene with a grassland on the horizon. After seeing it, I realized that Japanese manga is real. 😭 🚠 The cable car to the top is a single-person ride with no safety measures. You just hold on and go. It's so much fun! 🕐 The mountain is small, and you can explore it in 20 minutes. 🎫 The cable car costs 500 JPY one way and 800 JPY round trip. It closes at 4:00 pm! ❗️ Be sure to go down the mountain before 4:00 pm. The last cable car is at 4:20 pm. 🏨 I stayed at a hotel near Atagawa Station. I loved the open-air hot spring with a sea view. Most of the rooms are standard Japanese-style inns, like the houses in Detective Conan. ——That's all. Have a great day! 🥳

I stayed at Hoshino Resorts KAI Ito in Ito City, Shizuoka Prefecture! This hotel offers a camellia oil extraction experience as a special perk! I was excited to try it for the first time! 😆 Immediately after checking in, I was guided to a special room at the back of the hotel lobby and tried it! The staff explained it to me, so I was able to do it with confidence even though it was my first time! Just turn the lever and the camellia oil comes out of the hole at the bottom! It was easy even for a woman to do it 💪 The ​​extracted oil can be put in a small bottle and taken as a souvenir 🎁 From the second floor where the experience room is located, you can see a beautiful courtyard, and it was a great time. Apparently Hoshino Resorts offers different experiences in each location! ? I definitely want to stay at other hotels! #Experience2024 #100TravelStyles #ShizuokaTrip #ItoTrip #HoshinoResorts #KAIIto

Eastern Izu Day Trip Guide 1. Scenic Spot Features 🎈 Oshima After the eruption of Oshima about 4,000 years ago, a gap was left in the center, and the top of the mountain, which resembles a matcha cake, is stunning. This is a location for the film "Your Name", and it's a great place to take photos. - After climbing the mountain, you can buy a rice dumpling and eat it while walking. From the top of the mountain, you can overlook the entire eastern Izu, and the view of the blue and green is breathtaking. - Cable car tickets and opening hours: Adults 550 yen, children 250 yen. March - September 9:00 - 17:00, October - February 9:00 - 16:00. The cable car takes six minutes to reach the top, and there is a photo shoot on the way. You can purchase the photo for 1200 yen. 🎈 Cactus Zoo Located opposite Oshima, it is a semi-open park where you can get close to small animals. Among them, capybaras are super popular. - Tickets and opening hours: 2800 yen/adult, 90% off with Oshima ticket. Opening hours are 9:00 - 17:00. - Featured performances: Animal behavior performances, monkeys, dogs, parrots, etc. will perform various interesting behaviors. Small animals show off their unique skills and cuteness, and visitors can also see fun performances of humans and animals. In winter, there is also a capybara winter hot spring performance. From late November to early April, capybaras will take a hot spring in an open-air hot spring pool. Some lunar festivals will also be arranged to take a hot spring with grapefruit and apple, which will become a winter feature. 🎈 Kinosaki Coast The lava that flowed out of Oshima's eruption formed strangely shaped reefs. - Route: There are two routes to get there, a walking route and a forest route. The forest route takes 15 minutes to reach, and the downhill return is more energy-saving. - Scenery: The blue sea and sky along the coast are breathtaking. Admission is free, and it is recommended to visit for about 1 hour. - Kadowaki Suspension Bridge: The suspension bridge is 48m long and 23m high. The sea is rough under your feet, and the view from the bridge is magnificent. It is very popular for photos. 🎈 Atami Castle Atami Castle has 6 floors, the highest of which is the Tenshukaku, which is mainly used for sightseeing. Take the cable car to reach the top of Mt. Hakone, and from Atami Castle, you can have a 360-degree view of the entire coastal city. Atami Castle is also the best place to watch the Atami Sea Fireworks Festival. - Tickets and cable car prices: Tickets 1100 yen, cable car one-way ticket 400 yen. 2. Transportation Route From Tokyo, take the JR Shinkansen for about 45 minutes to Atami, then transfer to the "Ito Line" to "Izukogen Station". After getting off, purchase an Izu Kogen Station bus pass for 800 yen. Take bus 170/172 to Izukogen Cactus Zoo Station, and take the cable car up and down Oshima (only cash). Take bus 180 from the foot of Oshima to "Izumi Ocean Park Station", and walk 15 minutes to Kinosaki Coast. 3. Itinerary Suggestion 11:00 - 13:00: Visit Oshima in "Your Name". 13:10 - 14:40: Go to the Cactus Zoo to see the capybaras. 15:00 - 16:00: Check in at Kadowaki Suspension Bridge and Kinosaki Coast. 16:10: Return to Tokyo, arrive at 19:30. 4. Small Suggestions 1. Buy a pass for the Izu Kyuko Line (1/2/3day pass) at Ito Station, and a bus pass for one day at Izukogen Station to save money and time. 2. Show your bus pass when purchasing cable car tickets at Oshima to enjoy a discount. 3. Choose the forest route when returning from Kinosaki Coast, as there are more downhill slopes, which are more energy-saving. 4. Remember to avoid Google Maps when navigating, and directly locate the Kinosaki Coast parking lot for convenience and speed.

You can visit the Izu Peninsula while visiting Atami. It takes about 50 minutes by car from JR Atami Station to Izu Kogen Station. #伊豆秆 The attraction of Izu Peninsula lies in the mountains and plateaus here, and it is also a hot spring resort. #伊豆草人掌动物 This is a free-range zoo with a cactus theme. It is recommended that you allow at least 2 hours to visit. On weekdays, the adult fare is JPY 2700. Please note the opening hours here (09:30 - 17:00) Please refer to their official website for actual times. ✨As soon as you enter, you will see a large group of capybaras walking around. The birthplace of capybaras soaking in open-air hot springs is the Izu Cactus Zoo. But this is a winter-only item. In addition, this is a free-range zoo with a cactus theme. Each region has different flora and fauna. ✨Many animals are really close to each other, to the extent that there are no cages or fences blocking them. You can also pay to buy some snacks and feed them to interact with the animals. ⛰️ After the tour, you can go to the "Sunshine Park" to take a photo with Mt. Omuro. There is also a spot where you can overlook Mount Fuji. Finally, go to the souvenir shop to buy souvenirs to complete the trip. . .

🇯🇵Name: Mt. Omuro 📍Address: 1317-5 Tomoto, Ito City, Shizuoka Prefecture Today, I had a unique trip in the rain at Mount Omuro. The raindrops gently hit the grass and leaves🍃, and the surroundings were shrouded in a hazy mist🌫️. The whole forest seemed particularly quiet and mysterious. I took the Omuroyama Cable Car to reach the summit of this magnificent mountain. Through the stilt design of the cable car, you can overlook the mountain scenery. Although it is a little blurry due to the rain, the rolling mountains and dense forests are still beautiful. The cable car slowly climbed up, and raindrops slid down the windows, adding a touch of poetry to the scene. After reaching the top of the mountain 🏔️, although the view is limited 📺, the moist air and the fresh smell of soil make people feel refreshed. Although this trip to Mount Omuro in the rain lacked the magnificent scenery of a sunny day, it added a sense of tranquility and poetry, making it even more unforgettable. #TokyoAttractions #RealExperience #Non-PicturePuzzleStory #Non-PicturePuzzleStory #Omuroyama #Izu #June2024

#ShizuokaTourism Alongside the famous Izu spot of Mt. Omuro, Komuroyama Ridge Walk misora ​​has recently become popular. It's a beautiful spot on a small hill with a spectacular view of the ocean, and is also used for filming dramas. What's more, it even has a cafe! Only cafe patrons can enter the glass bridge, so using the cafe is a must! There are seats inside, but we also recommend having a cafe time on the deck outside❤️ In summer, it's grass. In autumn and winter, the grass turns beige, which is nice.

[Access] JR Ito Line, about 10 minutes from Usami Station by hotel vehicle *Minori Village free shuttle bus is also available. [Points] ~A quiet hotel on the mountain~ I visited again. It is far from the station and does not provide dinner, so I recommend buying it or eating it. The lobby is on the 5th floor of the building. It has a bright atmosphere. The 6th floor is a free space where you can bring your own food and relax. I recommend it because you can see the beautiful view of Usami from the window. When I stayed there, the hotel provided two free pieces of bread and coffee for breakfast. I was able to eat this in the free space on the 6th floor. *Information as of November 2023. #Usami

This restaurant is famous for its mountainous seafood bowls. With a spacious parking lot, it's perfect for stopping by on a drive. There is also a souvenir shop on-site where you can buy Izu specialties. The specialty is the Fisherman's Pickled Rice Bowl!! It's a masterpiece with a mountain of sashimi, and it's so big that one person can't finish it! It's recommended to share it with a few people and share it with other dishes. But the other dishes are also very filling, so be careful not to order too much! Be sure to go and try this popular lunch that will become a souvenir story. 📍 Izu Kogen Beer Main Store 1103-21 Futo, Ito City, Shizuoka Prefecture 413-0231 #Shizuoka Tourism #Shizuoka Gourmet #Izu Gourmet

#timetotravel I visited Ito Beach in Japan last October and I had a wonderful time. Here is my review of this beautiful destination. Ito Beach is located in Ito, a famous hot spring resort town on the eastern coast of the Izu Peninsula. It is easily accessible from Tokyo by train, and it offers a variety of attractions and activities for visitors. I stayed at K's House Ito Onsen, a historic ryokan hostel that has communal and private hot spring baths. The hostel was very cozy and comfortable, and the staff were friendly and helpful. I enjoyed soaking in the hot springs and relaxing in the lounge areas. Another thing that I loved about Ito Beach was the food. There are many restaurants and cafes that serve delicious local cuisine, such as seafood, noodles, and sweets. I especially liked the sashimi donburi, a rice bowl topped with fresh raw fish. It was very fresh and flavorful, and it came with miso soup and pickles. I also tried some of the specialty desserts, such as orange soft serve ice cream and orange chiffon cake. They were very refreshing and sweet, and they used local oranges from the area. Ito Beach is a great place to visit for anyone who loves nature, hot springs, and food. It has something for everyone, and it is not too crowded or touristy. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is looking for a relaxing and enjoyable getaway in Japan.
