Izu Live | Solo Trip to See the Sea and Mount Fuji

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! 🥳
