Transport in Izu

Whenever I visit prefectures outside of Tokyo, I make sure to check whether the trip is covered by the JR Tokyo Wide Pass. For 15,000 yen for three days, this pass allows me to travel to various places without worrying about paying each time. It also allows me to take Shinkansen trains and get reserved seats to reach my destination faster. I highly recommend using the JR Tokyo Wide Pass and buying it in advance from Klook (super easy to claim from Narita airport). Plan your itinerary well and calculate if the pass is worth it. During this trip, I used it to visit Nikko on a day trip and Karuizawa on an overnight trip, plus used it on JR Lines within Tokyo. It was surely worth more than what I paid for, so it was definitely a good value.

so easy. no need to exchange for a physical ticket which is what you usually do in japan. worth it even if you are going to and back from mt. omuro for a single afternoon.

It's very useful. The price isn't super discounted, but it comes with a ropeway ticket near Shimoda Station, and the mountain scenery is great. Plus, due to weather causing itinerary changes, the three-day pass allows for more flexible departures.
