Izu Shaboten Zoo tours

We had a wonderful experience on this tour, made even better by our excellent guide, Lin Chenxuan. He was punctual and well-prepared, which set a positive tone for the day. Lin was also warm, pleasant, and easy to talk to, making everyone feel comfortable and welcome. Throughout the tour, he was attentive and highly responsive to our requests, adjusting the pace and details to suit our group’s interests. Questions were answered clearly and patiently, and small thoughtful touches showed genuine care for our experience. Everything ran smoothly and stress-free, allowing us to fully enjoy each stop without feeling rushed. It was a well-organized, enjoyable tour, and the guide’s professionalism and friendly attitude truly made a difference. We would happily recommend this tour and guide to anyone looking for a reliable and enjoyable experience.

Participated in the Izu and Mount Omuro day trip on 8/2/2026. Although the weather was very cold, the tour guide, Mr. Long, was very careful and responsible throughout the entire trip. Giving a five-star rating! 👍

The tour guide and driver for this trip was Andy, and he managed the time very well. While he wasn't the type to enthusiastically introduce history and culture on the bus, his calm demeanor allowed me to quietly enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way. As for the Izu sightseeing spots, whether it was the mountains or the coast, most of them were great, beautiful, and dependent on luck (weather). The only thing I wasn't so keen on was the tourist train. Most of the route goes through tunnels, and the time when beautiful sea views are visible from the window is actually quite short, so I personally don't think it's very worthwhile. If there's a next time, I wouldn't choose a tour with a tourist train. Sharing my experience for your reference!

We had such an amazing day exploring the Izu area! Visiting Mount Omuro was such a unique experience with incredible views, and Izu Shaboten Zoo was so fun with all the animals and cacti. The scenery at Jogasaki Coast was absolutely stunning, and walking across the Kadowaki Suspension Bridge was both exciting and beautiful. Our driver/tour guide was so helpful and kind, making everything smooth and stress-free. Highly recommend this tour!

We had a great experience with our driver service. Our driver, Mochizuki, was prompt, punctual, friendly, and very professional. He communicated clearly and made everything easy for our family of nine. We really enjoyed our time in Kamakura without any stress. Highly recommend this service and would definitely use it again.

Places were a bit far from each other and it was a day before new years and traffic was so bad. but overall the tour guide and driver was very nice about it

The places we went were quite far from Tokyo and not easy to get a private charter but they have been very helpful in discussing and finding a driver who will take us. on that day, traffic was not the best but Jeff, our driver, was vety patient and considerate. Taking care of us at each stop, Jeff ensured we don’t lose our way aswe walked around by giving us clear recommendations. Happy with the tour and will definitely book again with the same vendor.

This day trip to Izu is packed with activities, making it perfect for travelers who want to experience Izu's natural scenery and unique culture in a short amount of time. Trip Highlights and Impressions: 1. Mt. Omuro and Cactus Animal Park: The quintessential Izu combination. Take a cable car up to the crater of Mt. Omuro for a 360-degree view of Sagami Bay and Mt. Fuji. The magnificent expanse of sea and sky is truly refreshing. Following that, visit the Cactus Animal Park. In addition to the diverse plants, the most soothing experience is watching capybaras soaking in hot springs – the warmest scene in winter. 2. Izu Kyuko Seaside Train: The itinerary specifically selected the "Resort 21" train, which has seats facing the ocean, making the train ride more than just transportation; it's a visual feast that allows you to easily admire Izu's magnificent coastline. 3. Jogasaki Coast and Kadowaki Suspension Bridge: Here, you can see the rugged volcanic rock charm of Izu. Standing on the suspension bridge and feeling the powerful waves crashing against the reefs is visually stunning and makes for an excellent photo spot.
