I highly recommend joining an Izu day tour. Every scenic spot we visited was beautiful, and the experience was excellent. However, the weather is crucial. When I went, it was slightly overcast, so the sea captured from the sightseeing train wasn't as blue, but the scenery along the way was still lovely. My personal favorite was Mount Omuro; it was adorably green, like a matcha pudding. Even though it wasn't a perfectly sunny day, it didn't affect my experience of exploring Mount Omuro. The Izu Cactus Park is diagonally opposite the foot of Mount Omuro. The driver said we could arrange our time to visit both Mount Omuro and the zoo, but I chose to spend more time at Mount Omuro and didn't enter the zoo, so I can't comment on it. The driver arranged for this trip was very punctual and responsible. There were people of different nationalities on the bus, and he introduced each attraction to us in both English and Chinese, with very clear directions. The seats in the car were clean and comfortable, and the overall feeling was quite good. Therefore, I recommend everyone choose this Izu day tour itinerary~ I wish everyone a pleasant journey and sunny weather!

This tour is mostly self-guided. The drive is about 2-3 hours each way, in a mini-van. You'll get amazing views of the sea and the seaside towns. As well as the chairlift up Mount Omuro and the Zoo. The Zoo is completely unique and I recommend spending less than an hour walking the mountain to spend more time at the zoo. It is a very large zoo and can be done in less than two hours, well worth the entrance fee. You get to feed the animals (capybara, peacocks, otters, penguins etc...). It was amazing how a lot of the animals are free roaming and its basically an open air play pen (mind the smell and watch for poop). He takes you early to the mountain because tourism crowds peak around noon. Overall it was an unforgettable experience. Also the tour guide doesnt wait for latecomers since he wants to get on the road to beat traffic, so please respect his time and everyone elses. Also bring lots of cash and 100 yen coins. They come in handy for the feedings.

Our tour guide, Master Wang, was enthusiastic, talkative, and provided excellent service 👍👍👍. On the way there, you can sit in the passenger seat by the window, and your phone can capture the beautiful scenery of the coastal road right outside the window. You can even hear the sound of the Pacific Ocean waves. For smokers, don't forget there's a smoking area across the road from the Omuroyama cable car queue (next to the entrance of the Animal and Botanical Garden Hotel). The Izu Peninsula has very undulating terrain, and all the attractions are quite far from the stations. If you don't want to take an expensive taxi (which might also be hard to find) or wait a long time for a bus, this kind of small group day tour is the most suitable!

Itinerary: Mount Omuro, train, coast. Time: Meet at 7 AM, return to Tokyo Marunouchi South Gate at 6:30 PM. Journey: There was some traffic on Saturday. We departed at 7 AM and arrived at 10:30 AM. We queued for about 15 minutes at Mount Omuro, and after walking around and stopping, we didn't have time to eat udon noodles at the cafeteria. The train had seats facing the sea, but the full sea view didn't last long. We spent about 35 minutes at the coast. Tour Guide/Driver: Master Long was enthusiastic, professional, and thoughtful. He helped everyone find the most convenient route in the group chat the day before. He greeted us warmly early in the morning, provided detailed explanations for each location regarding visiting time, place, and precautions, and thoughtfully considered various needs. At the end of his introductions, he always asked if anyone had other questions and encouraged us to ask him anytime if we did. He followed through on this throughout the trip, making it a very comfortable day.

Este paquete incluye un viaje en coche bastante largo, de unas 2 a 3 horas por trayecto. David, nuestro conductor, fue excelente y flexible. El teleférico estaba cerrado por mantenimiento, lo que nos ahorró 10.000 yenes. Sentí que fue mejor, ya que ahorramos dinero y tiempo, lo que nos dio una hora adicional en el zoológico. Al visitar el zoológico de Izu, se puede ver el monte Omuro, que era realmente hermoso. En un día despejado, incluso se puede vislumbrar el monte Fuji. En el zoológico de Izu, el precio de la entrada es de unos 28.000 yenes para el fin de semana. En general, las instalaciones estaban mal mantenidas y olían muy mal, lo que me entristeció un poco por algunos de los animales. Los capibaras eran increíblemente adorables, especialmente cuando se relajaban en sus baños termales. El zoológico también permite acercarse sorprendentemente a muchos animales. El viaje en tren no garantiza un asiento junto a la ventana, por lo que hay que ser rápido; la majestuosa vista solo aparece cerca de una parada, por lo que la cámara debe estar lista. El puente del volcán y las vistas al mar eran agradables, pero requerían caminar por una escalera de piedra, por lo que no es adecuado para personas con lesiones en las piernas.

We had a wonderful day thanks to our driver, Mr. Suzuki. He sent detailed messages the night before and on the day of the activity, and answered our questions instantly, so we didn't have to worry about the itinerary. He was also a warm and considerate guide, briefly introducing attractions and reminding us to enjoy the sparkling golden sunlight on the sea, see the peak of Mount Fuji from Mount Omuro, and successfully take the scenic train (remember to sit on the left side facing the sea! It's very worthwhile). Mr. Suzuki's driving was very smooth, making the journey comfortable and relaxing. We could rest whenever we wanted, just like driving ourselves. If you enjoy a leisurely day visiting Mount Omuro and the beautiful Jogasaki Coast, this is a highly recommended trip.

司机考车又快又稳，讲解也很好，很有耐心。当天比预计提前了些到，赶在排队人流之前上去了✌️虽然是八月的大晴天，但大室山山顶风吹着也没有那么酷暑难耐。仙人掌动物园就在大室山缆车对面，门口的那家餐厅还不错。动物园里面有点时间不够，门票也很贵，里面还很臭，个人觉得有点不值。后面的观海列车记得要保存好票根 不要搞丢了🎫城ヶ崎海岸特别特别美，如果能更多点时间就好了

It was a great time. The zoo is right across the street from Mount Omuro, so we were able to maximize our time efficiently. It was a jam-packed day (which we loved).

Overall, it was a fantastic trip. The price and time were similar to buying tickets to Izu yourself. If you're planning a day trip to Izu without staying overnight, this is a great option. The weather was superb; both Mount Omuro and Jogasaki Coast were incredibly beautiful. The capybaras at the zoo were adorable, and you could interact with them up close! The itinerary was well-planned, and there was ample time allocated for each activity.
