Things to do in Izu

We had a wonderful day trip exploring the culture and beautiful nature in the region just outside of Tokyo. Kousei was a very kind and helpful guide, and the bus ride itself was very scenic (we were lucky to have views of Mt Fuji each way!) Our only wish is that we could have spent more time at the two last stops, especially Kawazu, but our guide explained that there are laws limiting the time that bus drivers can work. We were glad we brought a lunch with us so we could maximize time exploring Shuzenji.

This is a less chosen destination, but Izu Peninsula is a really worthwhile visit. I could imagine Mt. Omuro will be more beautiful in spring and summer when its grass is green! Our guide Olivia made things extra special with her kindness, helpfulness, and extraordinary language skills. Til next time!

This was an amazing Shizouka Sakura day trip. Our tour guide was Tom and he was kind and thoughtful! He guided us well in the trip and we really had fun with the early sakura bloom! 🌸I would recommend this trip if your visiting Japan for the month of February and will not be able to come by March. The Kawazu-Sakura was really beautiful we had enough time in Kawazu for 100 minutes to stroll around Kawazu River and had more sightseeing with the Sakura canopy! Photos were taken February 15, 2026 for future travel reference of Sakura. 🌸🌸🌸Our first stop was Ema Strawberry Picking Center in Izu, followed by Shuzenji Little Kyoto - Bamboo Path, Shuzenji Temple, we had our Japanese pork chop set for lunch in Shuzenji Takitei Onsen Hotel then 30 minutes time for Onsen. And last part of the trip was Kawazu Cherry Blossom Festival. 🌸🌸🌸

Tom was great. drive was beautiful, strawberries were amazing!!! only thing we did not like the eel was cold and had a ton of bones. not to much walking for a pregnant woman that was my main concern.

Fulfilling and comfortable trip to Izu! Our tour guide Leonard has been very friendly and patient with us. He sent us all the info needed the night before to ensure we get to the correct meeting point. Cherry Blossom is still awesome though we missed the full bloom by a few days. Oh yes, the strawberry picking experience is cool too! We get to eat alot of strawberries that are so sweet!

Tom was very caring and patient. because of delayed departure and traffic on the way, the trip was a little rush. The strawberries picking was fun but there was no water for rinsing . The bamboos and the shrine visitation were short . I wished Tom did go with us instead of telling us how to get there . The group got lost !!! The lunch was good . The Sakura festival was awesome. Flowers were so pretty . I’m so glad we booked the tour 🤗🤗🤗

Excellent day tour and save the time on public transport. Arakurayama park, Mount Fuji Ropeway and Oshino Hakkai.

Good activity. perfect car and very respectful driver - on time, drives carefully but fast snd helpful
