2025 Ito Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in March)

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.

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! 🥳

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.

#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.

Sakura girl photo hotspot, Komuroyama cafe 321 The cable car going up and down the mountain is the kind of single-leg fling fling, the round trip fee is 800 yen per person, up to the top of the mountain, the range of activities is not very large, but the field of view is very wide. Unfortunately, it was cloudy on the day of my visit and I couldn't see Mount Fuji, but the cloudy blue sky was beautiful to take pictures. Looking out from the observation deck, you can not only see the endless sea, but also Omuro Mountain in the distance. It feels very comfortable.  The photo hotspot belongs to the scope of coffee shops, must help, to go to the glass bridge to take pictures, coffee shops only have hot soup or drinks to choose from, the price is expensive. Personally, the environment and landscape are good, and the quality of drinks is acceptable. If you pass by and do not need to rush your trip, you can choose to go up and enjoy a cup of coffee and take a picture😆 #japanattractions #foodie #cafe

K's House Ito Onsen is by far the best staycation I've ever had. It is a century-old Ryokan located in Ito City in the Izu Peninsula, Shizuoka.
