Things to do in Ito

I really like the scenery, quietness and hot springs of the Izu Peninsula, and of course the restaurants with pure Japanese menus. Although it is a bit embarrassing, it is super exciting; I look forward to visiting in three weeks.

The cactus zoo at the foot of Mount Omuro is incredibly soothing. Over a thousand different cacti of varying shapes and sizes grow in the greenhouse, creating a spectacular sight. Most of the animals roam freely, and the most endearing are the Kapibala, who relax in the hot springs with a gentle and docile demeanor. You can even hand-feed the red pandas and alpacas. This unique blend of flora and fauna is gentle and healing, making it an unforgettable and tender memory of your trip to Izu.

It’s really nice to come to Mount Omuro when the weather is nice. It takes just a few minutes to reach the top of the mountain by cable car, and you can see endless scenery as far as the eye can see. If you have time, you can also go to the shrine or go to the archery range at the bottom of the valley. There are souvenir shops at the bottom of the mountain and Shizuoka Prefecture’s famous Wasabi ice cream.

It's a free attraction, and the entire hike offers unique sea views, which is quite fun. The highlight was that after starting the walk from the lighthouse, I got to eat incredibly delicious Ise lobster tempura soba noodles!!! It was the perfect ending to the whole trip!

Close to Tokyo.. 40 minutes by Shinkansen from Shinagawa, and budget travelers can also take the local train. Don't miss the fireworks like the one in the picture twice a month. The clean hot spring water is also the best 👍 A good ryokan nearby.. A place with a market and a mart.. A must visit again 👍

This is a fantastic museum. The long escalator entrance and the illuminated atrium are very artistic. The sea view from the terrace is superb. The Joruri painted scrolls are gorgeous in vibrant red and green with gold thread. The matcha is also delicious!

Really funky weird and cool! A whole totoro floor that was awesome. Many of the bears moved and had back stories would reccomend!
