Izu Cherry Blossom Day Tour: Shuzenji Plum Grove × Kannami Kawazu Cherry Blossom Festival × Strawberry Picking at Fruit Park × Special Lunch (Departure from Shinjuku Ginza)

• Shuzenji Onsen Shuzenji Onsen, known as “Little Kyoto of Izu,” is one of Izu’s most representative hot spring villages. In autumn, the maple leaves along the Katsura River gradually change color, and the quaint stone paths, bamboo groves, and hot spring streets complement each other, creating a rich Japanese autumn scenery. Strolling between Shuzenji Temple, Tokko-no-Yu, and the hot spring streets, experiencing the leisurely charm of history and nature intertwined, makes it a classic spot for viewing autumn leaves in Izu that should not be missed.

• Shuzenji Nature Park Maple Forest The maple forest in Shuzenji Nature Park is one of the premier spots for viewing autumn leaves in the Izu region. The park has over 1,000 maple trees, and from mid-November to early December, the hills are dyed in layers of red, orange, and yellow, forming a spectacular tunnel of autumn leaves. The afternoon sun shining through the maple leaves creates an exceptionally dreamy scene, making it one of the favorite hidden gems for photographers and autumn leaf viewers.

• Shuzenji Nijinosato Shuzenji Nijinosato is a large theme garden that combines English gardens, a Canadian village, and Japanese garden styles. Every autumn, the popular event “Momiji Light-up” (autumn leaves night illumination) is held, where approximately 2,000 maple trees in the garden display a dreamlike scene under the lights, reflected in the ponds and gardens, creating a romantic atmosphere completely different from daytime. Especially in the Japanese garden area, the autumn leaves and lights intertwine, as if one is in a painting, making it one of the most representative night autumn leaf viewing spots in the Izu region.

• Izu Fruit Park When visiting Izu in autumn, you absolutely cannot miss the most representative “Mikan Picking Experience”! The Mishima area, where Izu Fruit Park is located, has a warm climate and abundant sunshine, cultivating Mishima mikan with a balanced sweet and sour taste and rich aroma. From late autumn to winter, which is the peak season for mikan ripening, visitors can pick plump oranges directly from the trees and enjoy the fresh, sweet taste of freshly picked fruit. Most of the fruit picking experiences in the park offer all-you-can-eat for an unlimited time, allowing visitors to also experience the joyful atmosphere of a bountiful harvest in a Japanese orchard.
