This zoo is located inside Tokyo Metropolitan Oshima Park, and is the only zoo on Izu Oshima Island. 🐥 There aren't any big animals like lions or elephants, but there are quite a few medium-sized animals like birds, turtles, alpacas, and camels, and we had a lot of fun ✌️ Especially the red pandas!! ︎ The cutest red panda I've ever seen 🥰❤️ The admission fee was free, so I wasn't expecting much, but I was surprised at how spacious it was 🥹 It seems that they're making use of the lava terrain as it is 🌋 Other than that, every Saturday and Sunday from 11:00 am to 12:00 noon There are also events where you can interact with small animals, so it looks like it's a lot of fun for both adults and children 💗 ■Address: 3 Fukushige, Izumizu, Oshima-cho, Tokyo ■Opening hours: 8:30 am to 5:00 pm ■Admission fee: Free #Tokyo trip #Tokyo sightseeing #Remote island sightseeing #Remote island trip #Izu Oshima #Tokyo Metropolitan Oshima Park Zoo #Tokyo Metropolitan Oshima Park #Zoo #Zoo with free admission #Free admission #Lava #Red panda #Interaction event #Fun for both adults and children #Tourist spot #Zoo #Theme park

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.

#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.

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.

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.

Sightseeing on Oshima! It's hard to believe that this is in Tokyo🫧 It's full of beautiful natural environments, and the mountainous areas and coastline are enchanting! It seems that many people enjoy hiking and the outdoors! It's also accessible by boat or plane from Tokyo, so it's relatively easy to get to from the city center and visit! I went snorkeling, and the sea was so beautiful that I couldn't believe I was in Tokyo, and I was able to see turtles and fish in person🐢🐟🌺 It's a recommended place for those who can't take time off and can't go on long trips!! #PR #Tokyo sightseeing #Oshima

The Black Desert in Tokyo. The Ura Desert is an area covered with volcanic ash and scoria that spreads over the entire northeast side of Mt. Mihara. It is said that the black desert was created by the accumulation of fine lava particles and volcanic ash every time an eruption occurs. The Ura Desert is also the only place in Japan that is marked on a map as a "desert," making you wonder if you are really in Japan. Oshima, which has hot springs and can be reached in no time from Tokyo. I bought camellia oil, which is famous for Oshima Tsubaki, as a souvenir. #PR #TokyoTourism #TokyoTrip #IzuOshima #Oshima

#besttrip2023 Izu Oshima, a park of the earth. A cross section of the strata on the southwest coast, commonly known as "Baumkuchen". It was discovered by chance in 1953 during construction of the road around Oshima. It is said to be a 15,000-year-old memory of the earth caused by a major eruption. Looking out to sea, you can see the islands of Toshima, Niijima, Shikinejima, and Kozushima, and the breathtaking view with a sense of openness will make you feel refreshed. I think you can do a lot of sightseeing by renting a car for one night and two days. I was able to enjoy nature at a leisurely pace.

A must-visit restaurant when you visit Oshima! ⚫︎Spiny Lobster Tempura Bowl ¥3,300 (limited quantity) A luxurious tempura bowl with a whole, plump spiny lobster! The miso soup, which contains the head of the lobster, was also delicious with a strong shrimp flavor🤤 The tortoiseshell sushi, a local dish of the Izu Islands, is also excellent🍣 The fish is caught on the island, so it's fresh and delicious! The interior of the restaurant was clean and had a nice retro decoration☺︎ #IzuOshima #Tokyo #Gourmet

I went to "Izumitsu Kiridoshi" on Izu Oshima, Tokyo. The thick roots of giant Japanese trees grip the earth with strength, and their trunks grow high into the sky! The moss growing all around creates a fantastical space✨ As soon as I stepped onto the stairs, I felt naturally filled with power. It's a power spot, so please be sure to visit. #Tokyo #IzuOshima #RemoteIslandTrip #gw2022jp
