Izu Oshima is the largest of the Izu Islands and can be accessed from Tokyo in about two hours by ferry. It is characterized by a unique natural environment formed by volcanic activity, and Mt. Mihara in particular attracts many tourists as the island's iconic volcano. With black sand beaches, hot springs, and rich plant life, it is a great spot for nature lovers. The entire island has also been designated a UNESCO Global Geopark, making it an interesting geological site. You can enjoy a relaxing trip in contact with nature in a laid-back island setting. Due to the warm climate, sightseeing can be enjoyed throughout the year, and the winter season when camellia flowers bloom is particularly spectacular. For transportation on the island, rental cars and buses are available, and a driving course around the island is also recommended. With a wide variety of activities such as the sea, mountains, and hot springs, it is an ideal tourist destination where you can forget the hustle and bustle of the city and immerse yourself in nature. ◆ Recommended sightseeing spots - Mt. Mihara: An active volcano, you can enjoy the majestic view from the summit and lava fields. - Camellia Garden: In winter, camellia flowers bloom, and you can enjoy the camellia, which is the symbol of the island. - Motomachi Onsen: An open-air bath where you can relax and enjoy the hot springs while looking out at the sea. - Ura Desert: An otherworldly landscape with black sand. - Habu Port: A quiet walking spot where you can feel the atmosphere of an old port town. - Oshima Park Zoo: A zoo surrounded by nature that is popular with families. ◆ Izu Oshima and Godzilla Izu Oshima is an important setting in the Godzilla movie series. In particular, in the 1984 Godzilla movie, the crater of Mt. Mihara on Oshima is depicted as the site of Godzilla's final battle, and the movie ends with Godzilla being dropped into the crater of Mt. Mihara. And two years later, Mt. Mihara actually erupted, and at that time, a rock in the shape of Godzilla, known as Godzilla Rock, was formed. (2nd photo) Godzilla statues and related goods are also sold on the island, so if you're a Godzilla fan, be sure to make a pilgrimage! ◆Notes There are few hotels, so make your reservation early! The hotels are also priced on the higher side, but they may not be very clean, so don't expect too much. There are also limited rental cars, so we recommend making reservations early. The area is not generally accessible on foot, so you'll probably need to rent a car, rent a motorbike, or rent a bicycle. We recommend reserving a rental car so you can move around even if it rains. #0yentravelautumn

In the cherry blossom season, I came to Japan this time I chose the cherry blossoms of the niche. Cherry blossoms can be seen everywhere in the cherry blossom season. The cherry blossoms of the Izu Peninsula are full, and many pink petals are falling on the ground. The Sakuragi of the Izu Kogen Station is also a perfect spot for cherry blossom viewing. On the trail, pink everywhere
