What this area is like
Mount Omuro is a perfectly round grassy volcano you climb by lift and walk around the rim. The Jogasaki coast has a suspension bridge over the waves, and the highland woods are full of small museums and cafes. At Izu Shaboten Zoo, capybaras soak in hot baths in winter.
Plan your visit
Izu-Kogen Station is on the Izu Kyuko line; buses link the sights, but a car is easier.
