Passeios por Izu Shaboten Zoo

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.

On February 8, 2026, I participated in the Izu and Mount Omuro one-day tour. Despite the extremely cold weather, our tour guide, Master Long, was very attentive and responsible, completing the entire itinerary. I give it a five-star rating! 👍

Our tour guide and driver this time was Andy. He managed the time very well. Although he wasn't the type to enthusiastically introduce history and culture non-stop in the car, his calm demeanor allowed me to quietly enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way. As for the Izu attractions, whether it was the mountains or the coast, most of them were generally very good, beautiful, and heavily dependent on luck (weather). The only thing I found not very worthwhile was the sightseeing train arrangement. Most of the sections it passed through were tunnels, and the beautiful sea views visible from the window were actually quite limited. So, personally, I don't think it's very worthwhile. If there's a next time, I wouldn't choose a tour that includes the sightseeing train. I hope this experience sharing is helpful to everyone!

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.

Los lugares estaban un poco lejos unos de otros y era el día antes de Año Nuevo, por lo que el tráfico era muy malo. Pero en general, el guía turístico y el conductor fueron muy amables al respecto.

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 very patient and considerate. Taking care of us at each stop, Jeff ensured we don’t lose our way as we walked around by giving us clear recommendations. Happy with the tour and will definitely book again with the same vendor.

This Izu day trip itinerary is quite packed, perfect for travelers who want to experience Izu's natural beauty and unique culture in a short amount of time. Itinerary Highlights and Impressions: 1. Mount Omuro and Izu Shaboten Zoo: The quintessential Izu combination. Take the cable car up to the crater of Mount Omuro for a 360-degree panoramic view of Sagami Bay and Mount Fuji. The magnificent blend of sea and sky is truly refreshing. Afterward, visit the Izu Shaboten Zoo, where in addition to diverse plants, the most therapeutic sight is watching capybaras bathe in hot springs – the warmest scene in winter. 2. Izu Kyuko Resort 21 Train: The itinerary specifically selected the "Resort 21" train, which features observation seats facing the ocean. This transforms the train ride from mere transportation into a visual feast, allowing you to effortlessly admire Izu's spectacular coastline. 3. Jogasaki Coast and Kadowaki Suspension Bridge: This area showcases Izu's rugged volcanic rock charm. Standing on the suspension bridge, you can feel the powerful impact of waves crashing against the reefs, creating a visually striking experience and an excellent photo opportunity.
