I climbed Mt. Mihara when I went to Izu Oshima ⛰ My first attempt at mountain climbing ✌️ The hotel owner told me to be careful because the wind was strong... but it was really windy and I was scared of strong winds for the first time 🥹 If it was sunny, I'm sure you could see the mouth of the volcano when walking around the crater of Mt. Mihara... I'd like to go again on a sunny day 🙄💗 The wind can never be conveyed in a photo 🌪 #Tokyo trip #Tokyo sightseeing #Tokyo gourmet #Remote island sightseeing #Remote island trip #Izu Oshima #Mt.

#TokyoAttractions Oshima Park is a beautiful urban leisure spot where you can feel the fresh breath of nature as soon as you step in 🌿🏙️ The park is shaded by lush trees and has vast lawns, making it perfect for family picnics or playtime ☀️. There are various facilities within the park, allowing you to take a leisurely stroll and enjoy this verdant environment. The park also features beautiful flower beds, with seasonal blooms that always surprise visitors. Especially in spring, colorful flowers bloom in abundance, making you feel like you’re surrounded by a sea of blossoms 🌺🌼. Taking a break at Oshima Park anytime is the best way for city dwellers to enjoy nature and recharge!

#TokyoHotels Hidden in the urban jungle of Tokyo is a dreamy home called "Super Mediterranean · Joyful Delight," perfectly combining Mediterranean style, tropical scenery, and modern design! Upon entering, a 2.8-meter-long art corridor feels like a time tunnel, instantly transporting you away from the hustle and bustle to begin your own "vacation life" chapter～ The space centers around art collections, with an open and flowing layout that exudes relaxation: large floor-to-ceiling windows bring in Tokyo’s rare greenery and natural light, complemented by natural materials like shells, wood, and stone.

There are many remote islands with nature within Tokyo, such as the Izu Islands and the Ogasawara Islands, but among them, Izu Oshima is close (so you can stay for a long time), has good cost performance, and is easy to go to! You can suddenly feel like you're traveling on a weekend off! [How to get there] Ferry boats depart from Takeshiba Passenger Terminal, which is less than a 10-minute walk from Hamamatsucho, every day to Izu Oshima, but we recommend the large passenger ship "Sarubia Maru" operated by Tokai Kisen, which leaves Tokyo at night and arrives early in the morning. It departs every night around 10pm, so you can make it even after work. The fare varies depending on the season, but it is around 6,000 to 8,000 yen, and there are discounts for internet and early reservations, so please make good use of them. The seats range from dormitory seats to private rooms, but if you want to go cheaply, you will have to choose dormitory seats or reclining chair seats, but we do not recommend chair seats. The seats are of high quality, but they are still chairs. As with a long flight, you will not know if you have recovered from your fatigue. ・We recommend the dormitory seats💤 The dormitory seats are also divided into small sections, so unless it's a busy season, you will probably be the only ones in this section, so don't worry, you won't be sitting next to anyone else! When you board the boat, everyone goes to their reserved seats first, but basically all seats are reserved, so don't go to your seat when you board the boat, just go to the deck! Secure a table or a place with a good view of the scenery, and watch the boat go under the Rainbow Bridge at night with a drink or snack in hand, which will make you feel better than a bad restaurant🤯 Once you go over the Rainbow Bridge, the night view becomes less interesting, so go to your reserved seat from there. In addition to cup ramen vending machines on the boat, there is also a dining hall that is open for a limited time and serves ramen, rice bowls, beer, edamame, and more, so it's exciting to eat dinner on the boat. 🏝️And when you wake up, you'll be in Izu Oshima🏝️ [Transportation on the island] There are buses, rental cars, and rental mopeds, but I personally recommend rental cars or mopeds. The number of buses is low, so you'll waste a lot of time during your short stay. There are also many slopes, so renting a bicycle is difficult. [Highlights] The best thing is trekking around Mt. Mihara Go there by rental car, rental bike, or bus. ・For trekking on Mt. Mihara Take the Oshima Bus Miharayama Line or Rainbow Line to the "Mt. Mihara Trailhead", or rent a car! It's at the end of a long slope, so don't go by bicycle The road is easy to understand, and if you take the course to see the impressive volcanic mouth of Mt. Mihara and return to the trailhead, you can return in about 3 hours at a leisurely pace. As for minimum equipment, sneakers that you don't mind getting dirty, water, and rain gear are essential. (Think of it as a light hike) ・For trekking in the back desert If you want to enjoy the magnificent desert in the easiest way, I recommend the "Back Desert Course"👍 It's along the road around the island, but the entrance is hard to find, so check the map on your smartphone! There is only space to park about three cars, so if you're going on a weekend, I recommend going early or renting a moped. When you walk through the gravel? Fine pumice? for about 30 minutes, the back desert suddenly appears, and you'll be impressed by its grandeur😃 [Food] ・Bekko sushi Izu Oshima is famous for its spicy bekko sushi, made by marinating white fish in chili soy sauce. There are many shops on the island, and even supermarkets sell it, but the seasoning and freshness of the ingredients vary. After eating bekko sushi all over the island, I recommend "Sushi Hikari" near Honmachi Port! Not only is the tortoiseshell sushi delicious, but if you order nigiri with various toppings, you'll be very satisfied, as there are some rare toppings that you can't easily find in Tokyo. ・Island Ice Cream Shop Toriton This shop is also located near Honmachi Port, so it's recommended to go there after eating sushi at Sushi Mitsu. In addition to the standard flavors, they have flavors of gelato and ice cream that are beyond your imagination, such as rock seaweed, asa-ba, and lava. [Recommended Accommodations] There are some accommodations on the island that are beautiful and expensive, and you can rent the whole house, but these places don't serve dinner, and many of them have things like BBQ that you can do outside of Izu Oshima, so I don't recommend them if you've come all the way to Izu Oshima. I recommend guesthouses and hotels. They're all about the same quality, so it's hard to choose, but be sure to find an accommodation that serves "camellia fondue" for dinner! You coat the skewers in batter and fry them yourself, and the aroma of camellia oil and the oil that's not too heavy makes it delicious! Be sure to try camellia fondue, which you don't often get a chance to try! [Other things to do] - At "Buratto House" near the airport, you can drink sweet and delicious Oshima milk fresh from the factory right in front of you while watching the cows, and eat milk gelato. - You can go diving or get a diving license. - If you like fishing, you can try to catch a big one at the harbor, and during squid season many islanders gather together to fish. Natural beauty within easy reach Please visit Izu Oshima!

#2月好地方2025 Address: Motomachi, Oshima-cho, Tokyo Transportation: Take the ferry from Takeshiba Passenger Ship Terminal I collected volcanic ash and made flour in the lava fields of Mt. Mihara, and learned how to make black buckwheat from the master of the "Hell Kiln". I stayed overnight at the Showa bathhouse "Oshima no Yu" and eavesdropped on the volcano while steaming my face with hot spring water. Go out to sea with the fishermen in the early morning, grill freshly caught Ise shrimp on lava stone slabs, and serve it with sulfur spring sake.

Izu Oshima is known for the beautiful camellias that bloom from winter to spring! In particular, the Oshima Park Camellia Garden is home to around 1,000 varieties and 3,000 camellias, creating a truly spectacular sight. During the Camellia Festival, you can enjoy the traditional Oshima dance and local specialty sales. Why not spend some relaxing island time while admiring the pretty camellias? 🌿🚢 #IzuOshima #Camellia #CamelliaFestival #FlowerParadise #TokyoRemoteIsland #BreathtakingView #IslandTrip #0YenTripFebruary2025

Family members! The most romantic cherry blossom season of the year is here again. Who can resist the dreamy atmosphere of pink all over the city? If you want to be the first to see the earliest blooming cherry blossoms in Japan, Izu Kawazu is the place of choice💖 Walking along the Kawazu River, 8,000 Kawazu cherry trees stretch their branches freely, blooming warmly and brilliantly. Standing by the river, you can see the cherry blossoms like pink ribbons and the leisurely river reflecting each other, the breeze blowing gently, and the petals flying like snow. This beautiful scenery really takes your breath away. Once you see a train approaching slowly in the distance, take a quick photo and get the same beautiful scene as in Japanese dramas in seconds📷 Don’t miss the original Kawazu cherry tree in Iida Family Garden. As the world’s first Kawazu cherry tree, it carries too many stories. Step into the garden, gaze quietly at this cherry tree that has experienced the years, and savor its unique romantic feeling. The best viewing period is from February 1st to February 28th. You must go to Izu during this period, stroll along the cherry blossom trail, and encounter this spring-only pink romance. It will definitely be an unforgettable and beautiful memory💕 #伊豆河津樱 #赏樱景点 #樱花季 #东京景点

The Izu Dancer Trail is the real-life setting of the famous novel "The Dancing Girl of Izu" by Yasunari Kawabata. It is fresh and tranquil, just like the hazy emotions in the novel. 🏞️

Mount Mihara is located on Izu Oshima Island. Although it looks beautiful, it also has hidden dangers because it erupts quite frequently. Therefore, if you plan to visit, it's crucial to check if it's safe to ensure a smooth trip. Despite the dangers, it offers a sweet challenge for adventurers. There is a hiking trail on the northwest side that takes 45 minutes or about 60 minutes from Miharayama Onsen. At the top, there's a 300-meter circular path offering stunning views of the island's natural scenery.

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

#Travelwithme I took a whirlwind trip to Oshima by ferry from Shibaura Wharf in Tokyo! At night, I enjoyed the night view while eating cup ramen on the ferry, and when I woke up around 6am, I could see the morning glow and the magnificent view of the Izu Islands. After arriving at Oshima, I hiked Mt. Mihara and enjoyed the day.

#Tokyo Attractions Okada Fishing Port, located in a corner of Tokyo Bay, is definitely the most unforgettable seafood food trip I have ever had. This old fishing village with a long history not only retains the unique island style, but also breeds a unique seafood cooking culture, giving us an unprecedented visual and taste feast here. The Okada Fish Market is filled with huge, lively golden eye snappers, tuna and other rare seafood, giving you the illusion of being in the underwater world. During the auction, cheers from the audience and loud shouts from the fish sellers came one after another, and the lively scene was very interesting. After visiting the fish market, we headed to the seafood snack street near the port, where the strong island atmosphere filled the air. Small restaurants and amusement facilities decorated with fishing nets can be seen everywhere, as well as vendors grilling lobsters, fresh fish and other seafood directly on the spot. The old street has regained its bustling scene of the past. We tasted some exquisite seafood dishes in a time-honored restaurant. The freshly cut raw toro fillet served with sour cucumber broth was delicious, and the Japanese-style mixed hot pot cooked with high-quality ingredients such as lobster and clams was unique in the world. This trip to Okada Port is undoubtedly a unique and unforgettable seafood dining experience. Being able to enjoy such a comprehensive visual, auditory and taste experience in such a characteristic old street that combines strong fishing port style, fresh seafood and exquisite cuisine is really a home away from home and great value for money. This is definitely the best choice to get a glimpse of the essence of Japanese seafood culture.
