Great zoo size that we covered in about 4 hours with a 4 and 6 year old. Nice cactus greenhouses with an impressive collection of 100+ year old specimens. Animal enclosures didn't many intrusive barriers which allowed us to get nice and close. There were plenty of food stations to buy feed for practically all the animals too. This type of experience would be really expensive back in Australia. General admission was also reasonable too. Definitely recommended for a family outing if you're in the area 👌

Mixed feelings. Let the bigger animals have a bigger home‼️The park itself was better than expected, whole park took 2-3 hours. The staff was friendly & the small animals look reasonably well kept. I would give it 5 stars for the smaller animals but for the larger animals it was depressing!!There was a bear/cat animal that was in one of the indoors enclosure and it was 5 steps for the entire home. Totally messed up. Some of the apes looked depressed. It rained but they provided umbrellas at the entrance & it was totally fine in the rain. I hope more people can speak out about the small enclosures.

I visited Izu Shaboten Zoo by bike on Friday, and it was lively with many tourists and local schoolchildren. In the nocturnal animals’ area, I saw bats for the first time in my life, which was a memorable experience. The zoo has a spacious layout where animals move around freely, and of course the capybaras were a highlight. The best part was the cactus-picking activity, where you choose your own cactus and pot to create a unique arrangement to take home. Although the entrance fee felt a bit high, the experience and atmosphere made it worth it.

Mixed feelings about this zoo. Coming from Canada where most Zoo's have way more space than this, some of the enclosures felt pretty sad. We were originally going to go to the top of Mount Omoro but it was closed due to weather so we went to the zoo instead. Half of the zoo enclosures were absolutely tiny, and others were fairly large. For example the one with the penguins looked very small and dirty, and same with most of the indoor ones. The gorilla exhibit was also very sad and small. You could see some of the animals pacing around very fast in the small enclosures which is a sign of stress. The owls were also chained to the ground which felt very sad to see, at first I thought they were statues. You could also feed most animals, sometimes through tubes and you could see the animals just essentially begging for the food, although they looked well fed for the most part. Some cleaning and larger enclosures would make this way nicer. However we did absolutely love the capybara parts and being able to feed them. They are so funny! The bird exhibit was also quite cool.

Animal welfare is definitely not even towards the top of the list here. Most of the enclosures were so very small and pretty barren, especially for mammals. The monkeys towards the entrance had only a concrete room painted to look like a sad jungle, with only a couple of trees and no enrichment items that I could see. The sloth had a tiny concrete room with a couple of sticks, like many of the other animals. All of the owls besides one were tethered to stands with very short ropes. Many animals that every other zoo I’ve been to had in enclosures, were somehow left in open areas with no fence. Kangaroos included. The “iconic” capybara onsen is literally a muddy concrete pool that they can jump into. It was very small per the number of animals. The Agouti enclosure smelled very strong of ammonia and it was behind glass minus a small opening that you could drop food into….the ammonia smell was that strong. Many animals were dirty looking and a couple paced in circles or just back and forth. All of the parrots looked to have almost half of one whole wing clipped to prevent them from flying. The animals that were free roaming just went wherever in an odd way - I’m not sure what even kept them in the zoo. My kids liked it because you could pet many of the animals but I wonder how many animals or people have been injured due to the closeness. The only redeeming factor, and the reason for two stars, was the plant areas. My son loved seeing the different cacti, and it’s cool how you could plant your own the bring home. Overall wouldn’t recommend and definitely wouldn’t come here again. We wouldn’t have visited if we would have known just how depressing this zoo is.

Good experience there. We bought our tickets on klook before we go. They are famous because of the cactus and their capibara(u can take close up picture with them). Tried their cactus ice cream too. There's quite few of activities u can do too

The zoo has a lot of potential. Many of the animal habitats are spacious, there are interesting species, and you can have good interaction with some animals (especially the capybara who you can feed and seem very happy). Unfortunately I felt the conditions were very inhumane for many of the exhibits and it was sad, painful, and disappointing to see. For example, the gorilla exhibit was way too small for the animals and had very little to keep them engaged. The penguin habitat had basically nowhere for the birds to swim and was filthy. There were a lot of birds and owls in tiny cages or tied to branches in place that looked distressed. A huge binturong was in a habitat not much bigger than one square meter and could barely even fit in it lengthwise. Many animals were rapidly pacing back and forth in their tiny exhibits showing signs of distress. There were tons of primates in an indoor exhibits caged that could have used enclosures ten times bigger. It was bizarre because other animals had super open and spacious exhibits. Also, because you can feed almost all of the animals (most through tubes), they are attracted to the tubes. It just seemed unnatural and not healthy to be feeding certain animals in this way rather than in a regular manner. I would way rather see a zoo with fewer animals in more appropriate enclosures.

The museum is so cute, it has a good mix of actual history on teddy bears and then unique/cute ones. Some amazing displays as well and a build a bear style workshop. There is also a really good selection of Ghibli items and scenes. Plenty of photo opportunities and they have a great bakery with some really cool cookies and sweets. Unfortunately I didn’t get to their tea room in enough time to try anything but the menu looks good.

If you love teddy bears or plushies in general this is a great museum! There are many vintage and rare bears and the displays on the first floor are very detailed, interesting and cute! The top floor has a Totoro exhibition when I visited and there is also a workshop where you can make your own teddy bear. The highlight for me was seeing the vintage bears and also the garden cafe was very cute. You can have tea with a teddy and there’s also a small couch for a plushie you brought or bought to sit with you while you enjoy the cafe too!

This was a delight, plenty of Toto for Ghibli fans, cute cafe where a teddy is sat waiting for you, pudding was delicious, brownie tiny but quite dark chocolate. Lots of photo oops too. If you want to build a Totoro check timings for the workshops, think there was 3 a day. There's two gifts shops, the first upstairs then down to the next one. Really good quality gifts, reasonably priced. Very pleasant way to spend a couple of hours on Izu, especially on a rainy day. Three teenagers all enjoyed it.

Book months in advance if you want to participate in the teddy bear making workshop! We took our chances and got lucky with a last second cancellation but I wouldn't count on that! The museum is cute and interesting!

a must go if you are into cute toys. it is cute that many people love teddy bears enough to make a museum for it. you get to see teddy bear exhibitions + a whole section for totoro. entry is 200yen cheaper if you present your mount omuro chairlift ticket to the cashier. there’s also a teddy bear making workshop but unfortunately i didn’t participate. there’s also a souvenir shop with various cartoon characters and a baked goods shop. i spent around 30-45 minutes here in total. a small museum but still very interesting and cute!

Fantastic little Muesum full of plushies much older than this little guy. Many of the Teddies have names and history which is quite fun to read. And the floor above is a fun little Ghibli plushie exhibit, great for fun photos. Lots of fun

We loved the gardens and the shop! You need to make a reservation to build your own Totoro, but that was a big highlight for our daughters. Well worth the price for a cousin stuffed toy.

If you are westerner used to western zoo standards and animal welfare, this place will make you very sad. Crocodiles and manatee are in cramped enclosures and obviously not healthy. On the other hand, the greenhouses are truly beautiful, the staff is very friendly, and the snacks served at the café are fun and tasty.

I expected an old, tacky zoo and thought the entrance fee of 1,800 yen was really expensive (can get a discount with JAF membership) but to my pleasant surprise, the place was quite big and well-kept. There were lots to see: alligators (a lot of them, some massive), red pandas, giant turtles, manatee, flamingoes, fish, and tropical plants were spread across 3 areas. They provide a shuttle bus service between the main area and the one with the red pandas. It wasn't crowded even on a Sunday so we could take our time to look at everything.

Great work on numerous flowers and species of plants and bananas. But they seems in a way better condition than all alligators, unhappy in very small spaces. It does not respect their needs.

🌴 - Atagawa Tropical & Aligator Garden: Alligator zoo, tropical botanical garden and botanical fruit garden by using abundant heat of hot spring. 24 types, 200 alligators and crocodiles are kept in the alligator zoo. The botanical garden comprises the lotus greenhouse (giant lotus, etc), main greenhouse (hibiscus, orchid, etc) and annex greenhouse (pineapple, banana). 💵 - Price: * Adult - (1800 yen) | (13-64). * Children - (900 yen) | (4-12). 🕒 - Hours: [8:30 - 17:00] | (Entrance by 16:30).

You get to see many crocodiles there from all around the world. The park itself is divided into 3 different areas. Other highlights included the tropical plant areas and red pandas. Unfortunately the staff didn’t allow us to enter certain sections of the park 20mins before closing time and I was unable to see the giant water lily. Definitely don’t think the ticket is worth the price. Only go if you’re really into crocodiles or you are bored out of your mind while traveling around that area.

We’re so delighted by this garden! That’s must visit once you’re in Japan, 2 h from Tokyo, right next to train station

Makes for an interesting day trip rain or shine. Lots of good snacks, banana ice cream, and interesting plants from around the world. The greenhouse almost feels like you've entered a fairytale.

Very good soba and kind staff. 10/10. Best in area maybe.

Delicious food. I had the sashimi. Very good.

(Translated by Google) I never went in before because I thought they were catering to tourists, but I happened to stop by. Oh, it's delicious. And it's cheap! ️ I think the lemon sour was 400 yen, but I was surprised that it came in a large jug. It was late that day, so the seafood was sold out, so I decided to have a mushroom hamburger. This was delicious 😋 It was miso-grilled old pork, and it was soft and flavorful, so the rice seemed to go well. I only had a small amount, but it was delicious. (Original) 観光客相手かと思って今まで入らなかったけど、たまたま寄ってみた。 あら美味しい。しかも安い‼️ レモンサワーがたしか400円だったと思うが、なんと大ジョッキで出てきてビックリした この日時間が遅かったので海鮮は売り切れてしまいキノコのハンバーグ？ これが美味しかった😋 おっさん豚の味噌焼きだかで、柔らかく味が濃いのでご飯が進んだようです。 ちょっとだけ貰ったけど美味しかったです

(Translated by Google) It is located just outside the mountain side exit of Izu-Atagawa Station. The exterior gives you a sense of history. There is a parking lot in front. ■Business hours etc. Visited around 2pm on a holiday. There is a list for waiting customers in front of the store. About 6 people waiting. About 8 people entered the store later. Perhaps because it was a public holiday, the last order was at 2:30 p.m. and the restaurant was open until 3:00 p.m., unlike Google's information. It may close earlier during low tourist seasons or on weekdays. About 20 minutes after I started waiting, I was guided into the store. ■In-store order There are table seats and tatami seats, I think it's best if 4 people sit at each table. The staff will bring you water and take your order. I ordered a highball (400 yen), Mr. Shio-yaki (300 yen), and a sukimi tuna and horse mackerel tataki set meal (1300 yen). Please note that it may take some time from ordering to receiving your order as it is fully booked. Alcohol arrived early. The food will probably arrive in about 20 minutes. ■Salt-grilled by the chef ★×4 The skin is grilled crispy and has a nice salty taste, making it a great snack to go with alcohol. It was a white fish, but it was delicious. The skin and eyeballs were also delicious. ■Sukimi tuna and seared horse mackerel set meal ★×5 A set of seared horse mackerel, sukimi tuna, rice, miso soup, small side dish, and pickles. Considering that it is a tourist destination, the prices are reasonable and very good value for money. The tataki horse mackerel is topped with shredded ginger and chopped green onions, which add a nice accent and make it a delicious dish. I think the freshness of the horse mackerel itself is also good. I wanted to eat a little more. The tuna sukimi is topped with chopped seaweed. It was also fresh and delicious. Wasabi is the type that really hits your nose. The miso soup had a nice flavor and I liked it. Small bowls are normal. When it comes to pickled cucumbers, people's tastes seem to be clearly divided. I wasn't very good. ■Highball ★×4 The ice is fine. It was a delicious highball with just the right amount of carbonation. The small bowl of wild vegetables was also delicious. ■Summary It was an excellent restaurant that served fresh seafood at a reasonable price. It's only open during lunch, but I highly recommend it. (Original) 伊豆熱川駅の山側出口から出てすぐの場所にあります。歴史を感じさせる外観。 目の前に駐車場があります。 ■営業時間など 休日14時頃に訪問。 お店の前に待ち客用の名簿があります。 待ち客6名程度。後から8名くらい入店していました。 この日は祝日のためかGoogle情報と異なり、ラストオーダーは14時30分で15時まで営業していました。観光の閑散期や平日はもっと早く閉まるのかもしれません。待ち始めてから20分程度で店内に案内されました。 ■店内〜注文 テーブル席とお座敷席があり、 1テーブルにつき4人で座るのかベストな感じです。 店員さんがお水を持ってきてオーダーを聞いてくれる方式です。 私はハイボール(400円)、板さんのお任せ塩焼き(300円)、鮪のすき身と鯵たたき定食(1300円)を注文。 満席であったことから注文から到着まで時間を要しますのでご注意ください。 お酒は早めに到着。 料理は多分20分くらいで到着です。 ■板さんのお任せ塩焼き　★×4 皮目がパリパリに焼かれており、良い塩気でお酒のおつまみに良いですね。 白身のお魚でしたが美味しかったです。 皮や目玉も美味しくいただきました。 ■鮪のすき身と鯵たたき定食　★×5 鯵のたたき、鮪のすき身、ご飯、お味噌汁、小鉢、漬物のセット。 観光地であることを考えるとお値段は良心的で非常にコストパフォーマンスが良いです。 鯵のたたきは細切りの生姜と刻みねぎがトッピングされており、これらが良いアクセントとなって美味しく食べられます。鯵自体の鮮度も良いのではないでしょうか。もう少したくさん食べたくなりました。 鮪のすき身は刻み海苔がトッピングされています。こちらも鮮度が良くて美味しくいただきました。 山葵はかなり鼻にガツンとくるタイプ。 お味噌汁は上品な味付けで好みでした。 小鉢は普通。 お漬物のきゅうりは好みがはっきり分かれそうですね。私はいまいちでした。 ■ハイボール　★×4 氷が細かい。 炭酸が程よく効いていて美味しいハイボールでした。小鉢の山菜も美味しかった。 ■まとめ 良心的な価格て新鮮な海鮮料理を提供してくれる優良店でした。お昼時しかやっていませんがおすすめです。

(Translated by Google) The interior of the restaurant has a retro atmosphere, exuding the comfort that people looking for when they drop in on a trip. The horse mackerel sashimi we had was translucent and fresh, with firm, springy flesh. It came in two varieties: namero-style and thinly sliced, allowing us to enjoy the different textures and flavors. Small side dishes, pickles, and miso soup are also available, making this a very satisfying set meal that lets you enjoy the bounty of the sea. Be sure to stop by before visiting Banana Crocodile Park! (Original) レトロな雰囲気が漂う店内は旅先にふらりと立ち寄った人がもとめる心地よさが漂います。いただいたアジのお作りは、透き通るように新鮮で、身はプリッとした弾力。なめろう風と細切りの2種盛りで、異なる食感と旨みを堪能できました。小鉢や漬物、味噌汁も揃い、海の幸を存分に楽しめる定食は満足感たっぷり。バナナワニ園に立ち寄る前にぜひ！

(Translated by Google) 2025.6 It is located in front of Izu Atagawa Station, and there is a parking lot in front of the store. I visited on a weekday at lunchtime, there were no customers before me, and two groups of five customers after me. The exterior looks like a rundown country restaurant, so it is selective about who enters. The interior is also an old-fashioned restaurant. I ordered it after hearing the staff say, "We have barracuda in today, so we can serve you grilled barracuda with salt." To be honest, I was worried because barracuda is somewhere in the middle of the pack in my ranking. It wasn't bad, but it was a protein-rich fish with a bland impression. After a short wait, the grilled barracuda set meal (1,300 yen) arrived. There were two fish! Come to think of it, there were also two horse mackerel in the photo of the grilled horse mackerel on the menu. Barracuda is still a protein, but it was salted and grilled to the perfect degree. The belly meat was fatty and cleanly removed, but it was delicious with a slight flavor of the pith! It would be even better if they had grated daikon radish. The accompanying vinegared daikon radish dish was also delicious. At another table, someone who ordered a sashimi set meal exclaimed in surprise, "There are 12 slices! What a huge portion!" (Original) 2025.6 伊豆熱川駅前にあり、駐車場も店舗前にあります。 平日の昼時に訪問で、前客なし、後客二組5名。 外観は寂れた田舎の食堂なので入る人を選びます。店内も昔ながらの食堂です。 「今日はカマスが入ってるのでカマスの塩焼きが出せます」とのお声がけに乗って注文。 正直なところカマスは中の中くらいの自分ランキングなので悩みました。 不味くはないがタンパクで味気ない印象の魚。 少し待ち、カマスの塩焼き定食（1300円）が到着。魚は2匹！そういえばメニューに載ってるアジの塩焼きの写真も2匹でした。 カマスはやはりタンパクですが、良い塩梅の塩と焼き加減です。 腹身は脂があり、綺麗に取り除かれていますが、少しワタの風味を感じて美味しい！ 大根おろしがあれば、より良い。 付け合せの大根の酢の物も美味しかったです。 他のテーブルで刺身定食を頼んだ人から「12切れも乗ってる！凄いボリューム！」と驚きの声が聞こえてきました。

(Translated by Google) [Eat grilled fish instead of sashimi] This is a restaurant that is located seconds after going up the stairs that look like the back entrance of Atagawa Station rather than the front. The main dish was sashimi, but I was intrigued by the grilled fish. Apparently they always have amberjack, so I decided on the grilled yellowtail fish set meal since I heard they can't serve it unless it's in stock. I was torn between Kama and skirt steak, but I chose skirt steak, which I have never eaten before. Wow, it was so fatty and delicious. Salted plum with a good amount of salt. The small side dish (I couldn't really tell what was inside) was delicious, and in addition to the fish dishes, they also had things like tea soba (zaru soba), so it's a restaurant that makes you want to come back again. (Original) 【刺身ではなくあえての焼き魚を食す】熱川駅の表側ではなく裏口っぽい階段を上がったら秒であるお店。やはり刺身がメインだが焼き魚にそそられました。カンパチは常時あるらしく、入荷しないと出せないと聞いたブリの焼き魚定食に決定。カマとハラミで迷ったがあまり食べたことがないハラミにしました。いやー、脂が乗って最高でした。塩加減もイイ塩梅。付け合わせの小鉢（中身はよくわかりませんでした。）も美味しいし、魚系以外に茶そば（ざるそば）みたいなやつもあったりで、リピートしたくなるお店。

An impeccable place to stay. Stuff are the most wonderfu and friendly I have ever met. They do literally everything for your comfort. Service is amazing. Place is magnificent- only nature and other reikan around you. Your check in starts with a tea ceremony, than stuff guide you fully around. All sources are available 24/7. So it’s very romantic to go there at night :) Our traditional dinner of 10 (!!!) courses blowed my mind. The BEST I EVER HAD. Thank a lot. Would her could stay more.

We had an amazing stay here! They have such a good eye for service. They are super kind and welcoming. Such a nice break after a couple of days in Tokyo! The food courses are amazing and such a nice way to taste and learn about local food. The Onsens are very hot but very relaxing and nice to be in! And the area around the stay is so calming. Only - is that you have to use the showers in the Onsen’s but it went well anyways! Would recomment the hiking trail along the coast. Super nice. Also has a few fishing spots along the route!

This ryokan is absolutely amazing. The friendliest & warmest staff. They do everything to make you feel comfortable. The grounds and rooms are beautiful - the pictures do not do it justice! The dinner & breakfast were incredible & very fresh. The onsens are lovely (very hot!) and its nice that they are private. The location is very close to the coast that allows you to visit the local trails. Such a relaxing place, can't wait to go back!

Our friends recommended Hanafubuki to us, saying they were amazed by it — and now I understand why. I expected a nice traditional ryokan, but it turned out to be a paradise on earth. Everything was impeccable: 9 different private onsen, spacious Japanese-style rooms, and incredible meals. The staff were the kindest and most attentive — they truly do everything to make your stay perfect. The service is outstanding! The location is magnificent, surrounded only by nature and other ryokan: pure peace and relaxation. Check-in begins with a tea ceremony and a touch of aroma oil, followed by a full guided tour of the property. All the onsen are open 24/7, making it wonderfully romantic to visit them at night. The traditional dinner and breakfast completely blew my mind — it was easily Michelin level. I attach a pic of our breakfast.

Unbelievably tranquil and wonderful service. The hot springs were amazing to enjoy and trying the traditional food was lovely. The rooms were more like a small traditional villa spread over the grounds and the springs are very private and open 24/7 though some are under rooms so be mindful of others above you when it comes to noise. Very relaxing. There is so much nature around and some lovely sights to see like the coast and water falls. Be advised the coastal walk is not for the faint of heart and more like a nature hike. Also, if you are prone to mosquito bites like me I'd take precautions as I was bitten quite a lot. We saw many animals and insects so if you are into that this was a great location for it. Very, very good place to stay to refresh even if for one night.

This ryokan is much nicer than the on-line photos and even their own website would suggest. As soon as you walk through the gate you enter a tranquil forest retreat and all thoughts of the world outside melt away. Attentive staff and excellent service. Superb, gourmet food beautifully presented. Wonderful onsen offering indoor and outdoor options. Very clean and private. Plus, great location to hike the Jogasaki Nature Study Course which offers spectacular scenery.

Service was great and in rainy weather u can go to one of the many bathtubs. Nearest seven eleven is just 15min away and I recommend to try it 😄

Amazing fresh seafood! Local family business!!

Wonderful food and really lovely and welcoming people. Since that we decided to take our day-trip by walking along the seaside, we were blocked by the tunnel and found ourselves in front of this beautiful local restaurant. One of the chefs even helped us to get through the tunnel by giving us a lift. We felt warmth through our heart. I would definitely go back around town and this restaurant will be a must-stop-by place for us.

Cash only and very expensive.

So nice atmosphere and great food. Try it!

Excellent

(Translated by Google) Izu Isobe is a wonderful seafood restaurant where you can enjoy fresh seafood. The restaurant has a relaxing atmosphere, and being able to dine while looking out at the sea is also appealing. In particular, the freshly caught local sashimi and seafood bowls were superb, allowing you to fully enjoy the quality of the ingredients. The grilled and boiled fish were also very tasty, and it was clear that they had all been carefully prepared. The staff were also kind, and we were grateful for their attentive service. The prices were reasonable, and we felt that the value for money was good. We would definitely like to visit again when we visit Izu. This is a recommended restaurant where you can enjoy seafood to your heart's content. We always have the grilled squid, and it is really delicious. (Original) 伊豆の磯辺は、新鮮な海の幸を堪能できる素晴らしい海鮮料理店です。店内は落ち着いた雰囲気で、海を眺めながら食事ができるのも魅力的です。特に、地元で獲れた新鮮な刺身や海鮮丼は絶品で、素材の良さを存分に味わえました。また、焼き魚や煮魚もとても美味しく、どれも丁寧に調理されているのが伝わってきました。スタッフの方々も親切で、丁寧な対応に感謝しています。価格もリーズナブルで、コストパフォーマンスも良いと感じました。伊豆に訪れた際にはぜひまた訪れたいと思います。海の幸を存分に楽しめるおすすめのお店です。イカの丸焼きは毎回いただいてますがホントに美味しいですよ

(Translated by Google) I found this restaurant while looking for a seafood restaurant in Izu Inatori. It's located a bit far from the station, so you'll need to access it by car. I recommend the horse mackerel bowl, piled high with horse mackerel; its fresh, plump texture is irresistible for horse mackerel lovers. The sashimi set meal is also great, with great ingredients like tuna and sea bream. You can also dine inside the restaurant, which has a great view overlooking the ocean. The old-fashioned atmosphere of the restaurant is one of the highlights of traveling. Set meals start from 2,000 yen, so it can be a bit pricey for families, but it's worth it if you're looking for delicious seafood. (Original) 伊豆稲取で海鮮料理を食べれるお店を探していた時に見つけました。立地的に駅から離れているので車でのアクセスとなります。 おすすめはアジが山盛り乗ったアジ丼、新鮮でぷりぷりとした食感はアジ好きには堪らないと思います。刺身定食もマグロや鯛などいいネタでハズレはありません。 また、眺望も良く海を見渡す店内で食事ができます。昔ながらの雰囲気のある店内は旅の醍醐味。 定食の価格は2000円〜なので、家族で行くとやや高めになりますが美味しい海鮮料理を探されてるなら行く価値はあります。

One of the most beautiful waterfall sites anywhere on the world. Surrounded by wasabi fields. Plenty of of parking space. Short hike. Interesting shops selling wasabi and rainbow trouts. Very accessible for those travelling with kids. Not packed with people so you can still get a serene atmosphere at the waterfall. Great drive to the location is a plus

Wow this place is a total GEM and must visit. Not only for the waterfall but to see how Wasabi is made! Try the wasabi ice cream at the end (glad I tried but wouldn't again). This place was a highlight for me fromt he view and all. Go and visit!

Beautiful, but too touristy. Can't access the river unless you pay for fishing, which is disappointing. Would have been amazing to sit down on a rock and dip feet in the stream. For those who excuse fencing off the falls by claiming protection of environment from tourists - there are hundreds more waterfalls all over Japan that are open but just as clean, so no made up excuses are necessary.

Go to Izu_Hanto but not stopping by Joren Falls then it is not completely yet. Story of famous Izu dancers by Kawabata, it is here, this location is within the story, the young student with a young girl encounter through out their trips. Parking is large free, right by the way down to Jorell falls is status of the beautiful two famous innocent, light hearts romance standing. The water falls down by 200 more steps but in well maintained and well cared for every one. Down to the falls you will feel the strong of water running and clean air fresh air. Small shop for wasabi, ice cream and sign up if you want to go fishing there. It is one of the main stops in Izu peninsula if you are interested in the beautiful izu Hanto. Going up after visiting the falls then coffee shop Idoriko's coffee shop. Name from the old train used to run at this side. Gifts shops is also carrying many products, fresh wasabi 's available to purchase if you like. This place is good stop and easy to all. We loved to be here. Thank you

The photos don't do it justice, it was more spectacular than I thought, especially in the rain. The surprising bonus was the small wasabi farm also in the gorge, so you can see the waterfall and get your wasabi hit (including buying fresh wasabi) in the same place. There are about 200 steps and no wheelchair accessibility. No toilets in the gorge either.

Nice, cold, easy to reach. Try the wasabi cashews sold down at the waterfall!

Waterfall is around 15mins walk from the parking area. There is huge Wasabi farm around the waterfall. Fresh wasabi from yard is kept for selling. Shopping area is available near the parking area with all variety of WASABI snacks and ice cream. Beautiful place to relax and enjoy nature.

You can drive through it! Looks narrow and is quite long so not sure what you'd do if another vehicle comes th other way. Just do it, you only live once!

You would love this place especially if you have watched the movie or read the novel.

Tunnel is closed to vehicle for repairs (opens end of September 2020) but go walk the tunnel instead of driving. It's nice.

Take care if you drive there, the road is not well maintained

It’s a tunnel.

Quiet calm place!

One of the coolest places. Feels like a real lost place. You'll walk up a street that has a little incline for quite some time and end up in front of the old tunnel. The tunnel itself has light inside but there's nobody around and, as far as I could see, no cars pass through it. Quite a spooky experience.

A very beautiful spot, but unfortunately there’s no public transportation from Izu Inatori station (as far as I know).

Mad hidden gem, need a car to drive up to it but just becareful as the drive up can be challenging especially with one way roads

It was one of the most beautiful view I've seen. Lots of parking and a toilet is also there.

(Translated by Google) 2025.6 The road to the paragliding parking area to climb Mt. Misuji ahead is a narrow road where passing is almost impossible, so you should drive carefully. I think it is especially easy to go fast on the way down. The visibility is poor, so if an oncoming car comes, it will be scary for both parties. The swing is currently out of use. You can see wind power plants in the distance. So the wind was blowing strongly here too. [Summary] The area is 125 hectares, and Mt. Misuji at the back of the plateau is 821 meters above sea level. The lowest point of the plateau is about 370 meters above sea level, and the difference in altitude between it and the highest point is about 550 meters, so there is a difference of about 3 degrees in temperature. The plateau is becoming more and more forested year by year due to the suspension of mountain burning on the Kawazu Town side and the northwest side. The current area of ​​the plateau is about one-third of what it was in the 1970s. Since 2010, damage caused by deer and an increase in ticks have become issues. It is privately owned and managed by the Inatori District Special Property Management Committee.

The road to reach the plateau park and the roads in the park are narrow. I visited during Golden Week and driving was a night far. too many cars. I recommend leaving before dark if you are not used to winding mountain roads. This place is insanely beautiful; there are many hikes. A must is reaching the Mount Misujiyama summit. From there, there’s an incredible view of the Izu Archipelago. During spring and summer, the rolling hills are a lush green color. In the spring, visitors can go wild vegetable picking on the plateau, and you might encounter a 500 yen entrance fee.

(Translated by Google) We visited on Sunday, October 12th. We were greeted by a vast field of Japanese pampas grass. The leaves were still green, so we couldn't see the grass blowing in the wind, but we were able to enjoy the magnificent scenery. There are three courses to choose from, depending on your time, energy, and the equipment you have brought. We chose the 30-minute course this time. It might be worth adding a trip to the marshland. We would like to visit again at a slightly different time of year. The road is steep and narrow, so please drive slowly. (Original) 10月12日(日)に訪問しました。 広大なススキ野原が迎えてくれます。まだ葉が青々していたため、ススキが風にあおられる様子を見ることはできませんでしたが、壮大な景色を堪能できました。 お時間や体力、用意した装備などに応じて、３つのコースが選択できます。 今回の選択は30分のコースです。湿原を加えても良いかもしれません。 また時期を少しずらして訪れたい。 道のりは急で狭いため、ゆっくりと運転してください。

(Translated by Google) Visited in May 2025 I suddenly saw a sign for Hosono Plateau on the road along the coast, so I decided to stop by. The road was narrow and I was worried if the plateau was really there, but the plateau suddenly appeared in an open area, and it was a very beautiful place. There is also a parking lot where you can park your car. According to the reviews, it seems to be best in autumn when the Japanese pampas grass is blooming, but it was also very nice in early summer. There were a lot of students there, which may have been a coincidence, so I wondered if it was a famous place for something else? ? I wondered. (Original) 2025年5月来訪 海岸沿いの道路にチラッと細野高原なる看板が突如現れたため、ちょっと寄ってみました。途中道も細く本当に高原があるのか不安になりましたが、急に開けた場所に高原が現れ、とても素敵な場所でした。 車を停める駐車場も完備されています。 レビューを見ると秋のススキの時が良さそうですが、初夏でもとても良かったです。 たまたまなのか学生さんが非常に多くいたので、何かほかに有名な場所なのかな？？と思った次第です。

I found this zoo visit to be extremely disappointing. It appears the animals are not well-fed—many of them approached visitors as if expecting food. At each enclosure, there was only a tiny portion of food available for purchase at 200–300 yen. The zoo has very few animal exhibits overall, and the entry ticket is quite expensive. They also don’t inform you at the entrance that major animals like elephants and bears are no longer in the zoo. The chimpanzee was kept in a very small, stressful-looking cage, which was upsetting to see. Overall, it felt like a complete waste of time and money. I strongly recommend visiting a public zoo instead—they usually offer larger, better-maintained spaces with a greater variety of animals.

An absolutely delightful zoo with amusement park attractions as well as a driving range and much more! As far as the animal attractions there’s a lot of interactive elements. You can feed a great many of the animals to include the more pedestrian options such as the capybara, giraffes, zebras, & more. Then there’s the more exciting options for feeding which is the white tiger, the bear, and the baboons. You’ll also find plenty of food and drink options throughout the park with both on the move options as well as a restaurant. A place to take the family and loose yourselves for the day in the environment that is the Animal Kingdom.

One of the saddest places I’ve ever been. I visited Animal Kingdom Japan while traveling with my family — I don’t like zoos, but my 3-year-old really wanted to see animals, so we went. Unfortunately, it turned out to be a deeply upsetting experience for all of us. Many animals were kept in small, barren enclosures and looked either sedated, sick, or extremely stressed. Several had visible skin problems and appeared unwell. It was hard to watch. Even my child, who was so excited to go, ended up feeling sad and confused.

Nice place. Tigers are white and you can feed them for an extra 500 yen. Lots of animals, from rabbits to elephants, owls to capybara. Appears that COVID lockdowns have had quite a big impact on the playground area and activities, don't think it was just a quiet Monday afternoon. High on a hill, not a place to easily walk to from the station, recommend car, taxi or bus to get there.

I dislike zoos at the best of times, this was no exception. Cramped concrete enclosures are not suitable places for wild animals. As a result many of the animals here looked depressed, lonely and mentally challenged. Japan continues to disappoint with its lack of animal welfare and this place is not helping that image. Avoid if you find animals in distress a depressing sight.

Izu Animal Kingdom is a family-friendly wildlife park in Higashiizu, Shizuoka Prefecture, offering an immersive experience with a variety of animals and interactive exhibits. The park features a walking safari where visitors can observe giraffes, zebras, and rhinoceroses in a savannah-like setting. Additionally, the Animal Touch Square allows guests to pet and feed small animals such as capybaras, guinea pigs, and armadillos. For those seeking more excitement, the park offers feeding experiences with white tigers, bears, and baboons for an additional fee. Amusement park attractions, including a Ferris wheel and merry-go-round, add to the fun. The park is open daily from 9:30 AM to 5:00 PM (last admission at 4:00 PM) and is closed during inspections in late June and mid-December. Admission is ¥2,200 for adults and ¥1,100 for children aged 4 to junior high school students. Visitors can reach the park by a 10-minute bus ride from Izu-Inatori Station.

Great fun. This zoo is not big, but it’s fun to walk through and they offer a lots of activities. Today, we got to feed many of the animals and even touched a rhyno! Well worth the stop if you’re in the area

The food is very good. Its may little old thought

"Old school" ramen house. More sodium than your average ramen, but this is an idea of what ramen tasted 30 years ago. When I used to live in the area I would visit them at least twice a month. Don't forget to read some of the rider mangas they have in their collection.

Good food

(Translated by Google) My first time at Joto Shokudo Is your son in charge of the kitchen? 1 person Service is that mother? 1 person two person system The interior is a small, traditional Chinese restaurant.

(Translated by Google) A traditional Chinese restaurant in Higashiizu Town. When you enter the store, there is a nostalgic atmosphere. Grandma's customer service is causing a lot of controversy, but isn't it like a no-frills Chinese restaurant in the countryside? lol We're not particularly aiming to attract a large number of customers, but our customer service and taste are based on the attitude that it's okay if locals come from time to time. I talk about this ramen and fried rice on my blog, so if you are interested, please take a look.

(Translated by Google) This restaurant is extremely unsanitary. When I asked for a side plate, they brought out a plate that another customer had used without washing it. It was very dirty, so of course I didn't use it. I don't often see restaurants this unsanitary. I'll never go there again. (Original) 衛生的にかなり危険な店です 取り皿を頼んだら、ほかの客が使った皿を洗わずに出してきた。 かなり汚い状態だったので、当然使わなかったです。 ここまでヤバい店はあまり見かけないです。さすがに、二度と行きません。

A little pricey, but the quality of the food is top notch. A good place to get a sampling of the breadth of Kinmedai dishes. The 金目鯛煮付け is a must-order.

We traveled up the coast from Shimoda and had stopped at two other sushi restaurants that were all closed. Luckily Uohachi was open and easily findable via Google maps. The service was very intimate and the food was outstanding. The staff took great care of us. We had some amazing oysters, fish soup, sashimi and another specialty fish.

Legit quality. Good prices. Set menu is awesome and most of the fish is from the harbor market across the street. Small venue and no reservations but make sure to try it. You won't be disappointed.

The food was warm (they didnt cool it) and the fish cut way to big. The taste was good, but the temperature ruined it in my opinion

Perhaps the unfriendliest and least polite service I've had in 6 years living in Japan. Dead atmosphere. Sushi was average and overpriced. I can only imagine this restaurant received good reviews due to being perhaps the best one in a local town without much choice.

For Kinmedai lovers, this is the place.

Ok sushi with high price !

family who knows🤤👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

(Translated by Google) Visited during lunch time. Go up to 2F. There seems to be table seats and a tatami room in the back. I ordered the omakase bowl and sashimi set meal. The sashimi in both cases is the same. The only difference is that the squid doesn't come with salted fish when served in a bowl, and I just want to see if it's served on top of rice or on a plate. The price for both is 1,650 yen including tax, which is reasonable. The elderly person sitting at the counter seemed to be hard of hearing. My mother is also elderly and hard of hearing, so she wears hearing aids. It's an intrusion, but I think it's necessary if you're serving customers. Therefore, the star was minus 1. (Original) ランチタイムに来訪。2Fに上がっていきます。テーブル席と奥に座敷があるようです。おまかせ丼と刺身定食を注文。2つとも刺身は同じ物とのこと。違いは丼だとイカの塩辛が付かないのと、ご飯の上に盛り付けるか皿盛りになるかだけ見たいです。2つとも値段は税込で1650円でまあまあかな。カウンターに座っていた高齢の方は耳が遠いようです。うちの母も高齢で耳が遠いので補聴器を付けています。お節介ではありますが、接客されるのであれば必要かなと思いました。なので、星はマイナス1となりました。

(Translated by Google) After deciding to visit Inatori, I decided to have lunch here! There's a small parking lot, but you can still find a spot. I arrived around 12:30 PM. A cute older lady showed me to my seat, and I was able to order right away. All the fish was fresh and delicious, and I was happy that it came with fish soup and salted fish. I thought it was amazing that I could eat here for such a low price, considering the high prices in tourist areas. I'd love to visit again if I visit Inatori again. (Original) 稲取に旅行を決めてから お昼ご飯はココと決めて行きました！ 駐車場は少ないですが停めれます。 12時半くらいに入店 可愛らしいおばあさまが席に案内してくださり すぐに注文することができました。 魚はどれも新鮮で美味しくて あら汁や塩辛などが付いていて嬉しかったです 観光地価格が多い中このお値段で食べれるのは凄いと思いました。 また稲取に行くことがあれば伺いたいです。

(Translated by Google) I ate the omakase seafood bowl and miso pickled red sea bream. Since it was a rush to enter the store, we were informed that the simmered and grilled dishes might take about 20 minutes. Still, I didn't notice the time as I was relaxing while looking at the scenery! Miso pickles are delicious! The exquisite amount of miso and the soft golden sea bream were delicious, and the pieces were large. The seafood bowl and the amount of rice were just right, and the white fish was the main ingredient, making it refreshing! It had shrimp and was delicious. There was a side of soup on both sides, which was also delicious. Water is self-service and the restaurant is on the second floor. Dried fish and salted fish are sold as souvenirs on the first floor. I was worried about taking the delicious salted fish I had seen in the reviews back to Tokyo, but since they had it frozen, I put it in the insulated bag I had brought with me and took it home! (Original) おまかせ海鮮丼と金目鯛の味噌漬けを食べました。 入店ラッシュだったので煮物焼き物は20分くらいかかるかもとの案内をしておられました。 それでも景色を見ながらゆっくりしていたら時間は気になりませんでした！ 味噌漬け美味しい～！絶妙な味噌のばらんすと柔らかい金目鯛が美味しくて、一切れが大きかったです。 海鮮丼もご飯の量もちょうどよくて、白身魚メインでさっぱり！海老ものっていて美味しかったです。 あら汁が両方についていましたが、それも美味しかったです。 お水はセルフサービスでレストランは2階にあります。1階にお土産の干物や塩辛が売っています。 クチコミで見た美味しい塩辛を東京まで持ち帰るのが心配でしたが、冷凍してあるのがあるということで凍っているものを、持参した保冷バッグに入れて持ち帰りました！

(Translated by Google) It was nice to be able to enjoy Inatori seafood at a relatively reasonable price. The boiled red snapper was delicious, with soft, fatty red snapper boiled in a sweet soy sauce sauce! Other dishes included a seafood bowl and a sashimi set meal. It was about 1650 yen. (Original) 比較的リーズナブルに、稲取の海鮮が楽しめてよかったです。金目鯛の煮付けは、脂の乗った柔らかな金目鯛が、甘めの醤油ダレで煮付けてあって、美味しかったです！他に海鮮丼やお刺身定食など。1650円ほどでした。

(Translated by Google) The price was reasonable and the fish was fresh and very delicious. It was the beginning of February, when the Kawazu cherry blossoms were just starting to bloom, so it was still empty, which was great. Unfortunately, there was only one Kawazu cherry blossom tree in bloom, so we couldn't see it. (Original) お値段も良心的でお魚も新鮮でとても美味しかったです。2月の頭で、河津桜が咲き始めた頃でまだ空いていたので良かった。河津桜は1本しか咲いてなくて見れず、残念でしたが。

(Translated by Google) The omakase bowl was very delicious, but many other people have also commented on it, so I won't mention it here. Kinmedai seems to be available as sashimi only on the day you go fishing, so I'd like to try it next time. The salted fish that came with it was so delicious that I bought it as a souvenir. Recommended. (Original) おまかせ丼、とても美味しかったけど、それは他の多くの方もクチコミされてるので割愛。 金目鯛は漁に出た日でないと刺身はないようで、次こそは食べたいところ。 付け合わせで出てきた塩辛がめちゃくちゃ美味くて、お土産に買って帰りました。オススメです。

We were there on a rainy / Taifun day with a lot of Asian people with the same idea. But this was not the problem, why I only give one star! In the Zoo were a lot of animals with much more need on space than they get. The Japanese crane couple with their child had maximum 7-8 qm space. So proud and beautiful animals. But it’s get worse and worse. You can feed (for a fee of 200 Yen) land turtles, which „live“ on the floor every customer is walking on and it’s dark the hole day. When you enter the place, there were two turtles starring and not moving. They look so sad. The other turtles run to the customers for the food, so I had in my mind that they don‘t get enough food from the staff. But the worst thing I ever saw was, that you can sit or ride on a big land turtle (for a fee of 1.000 Yen). Image getting over 100 years old and a child is riding on your back. The turtles were not allowed to go in their outside space, but two really big ones tried really hard to open the door and the male staff guy pushed them - on a not good looking way - through the compound. After that the next customers came in for the ride and the photo of it. This opportunity was often used by Asian families and I was so upset about that. I‘m happy that kind of zoo is prohibited in Germany!

What an amazing find! We chanced upon this place and we had a ball of a time ! We liked that we could carry the reptiles . We also enjoyed the giant tortoises - and paid 1000yen to feed them - they roam freely around us ! You won’t regret coming here !!

My kids in love with turtles so this zoo was heaven. They can touch and feed them. They love touching different skin of reptile such as snakes, baby alligator etc. mostly it's indoor so it is not bad in rainy weather. If you like reptiles and near by this zoo please spare one hour to enjoy it.

Fun experience at Izoo. Not too many people. I had good interactions with turtles. They move fast if you have food in your hand. Prepare some cash to buy them spinach, it’s worth it!

My son and I enjoyed the iZoo very much. This place is much bigger than it appears from the entrance. We saw reptiles, amphibians, arachnids, insects & bugs, and an assortment of other great animals. Limited English display but scientific Latin names are displayed so we could Google. Great place to enjoy a few hours of learning fun!

🦎 - iZoo: Located in Kawazu Town, Kamo County, Shizuoka Prefecture, iZoo is one of the largest zoos in Japan dedicated to reptiles and amphibians. iZoo cares for a diverse variety of reptiles and amphibians, including an endangered Galapogos giant tortoise, iguanas, lizards, snakes, and frogs. 💵 - Price: * Adult - (2000 yen). * Elementary school student - (800 yen). * Children | [Under 6] - (Free). 🕒 - Hours: [9:00 - 17:00] | (Last entry 16:30).

Nice place to touch and feel the animal's. Even feed turtle's. Entrance fee seems to be bit expensive, other than that worth to visit.

(Translated by Google) I visited during the Spring Rose Festival. Although the roses were not in full bloom yet, the blooming roses were giving off a nice fragrance. You can enjoy a wide variety of colorful roses. There is a stamp rally, and if you win it, you will have a completed postcard♪ The cafe also had a menu using edible roses. The rose soft serve ice cream had a slight rose scent and had a texture between sorbet and soft serve ice cream. (Original) 春バラ祭りの期間に訪れました。 まだ満開とは言えませんでしたが、咲き誇るバラから良い香りがしていました。 種類が豊富で色とりどりのバラを楽しめます。 スタンプラリーがあり、制覇すると絵はがき完成です♪ カフェでは食用バラを用いたメニューもありました。 バラソフトクリームはほんのりバラの香りがして、シャーベットとソフトクリームの中間的な食感でした。

(Translated by Google) Kawazu Bagatelle Park is a famous French-style garden with a rose garden, modeled after Bagatelle Park in the Bois de Boulogne in Paris. You can enjoy the beautiful roses especially in the spring rose season. Dogs are allowed in the park if they are on a leash. Tsu Bagatelle Park has 6,000 roses of 1,100 varieties planted in an area of ​​3 hectares. There was a guide at the entrance to the roses in the park. It is a French-style garden. The rose garden at Bagatelle Park is characterized by the fact that standard roses are planted around them, with bush roses planted around them, creating a rhythm between the two varieties. It seems to be a rose garden that has been carefully designed down to the last detail, with the colors, views, and space being carefully calculated. (Original) 河津バガテル公園は、バラ園が有名な フランス風庭園で、パリのブローニュの森にある バガテル公園をイメージして作られました。 春バラの時期には特に美しいバラを 楽しむことができます。 ワンコはリードをつなげば入園ＯＫです。 津バガテル公園は、3ヘクタールの広さに 1100品種、6000株のバラが植栽されています。 入口には園内の薔薇の状況が案内されていました。 フランス式庭園になっています。 バガテル公園のローズガーデンの特徴は、 スタンダードタイプのバラを中心にその周りに ブッシュタイプのバラを植栽することにより、 2品種がかもしだすリズムを生み出しています。 色彩・眺望・空間を計算し尽くして細部まで こだわり造られているローズガーデンのようです。

(Translated by Google) I went around it in about 2 hours. There were some tourists from overseas, but we didn't pass each other inside the park. The roses are blooming quite a lot. There are also shops where you can buy rose soap and accessories, and a cafe where you can drink rose soft drinks and rose juice. Pets are allowed on the terrace. The rose soft serve and rose juice were delicious. (Original) 2時間くらいでぐるっと1周してきました。 海外からの観光客もいましたが、園内ではすれ違いませんでした。 バラはけっこう咲いてます。 バラ石鹸や小物類を買えるショップや、バラソフトやバラジュースが飲めるカフェもあります。 テラスならペット同伴◯です。 バラソフトとバラジュースは美味しかったてす。

(Translated by Google) There were many varieties of roses, and they were well maintained and very beautiful. The scent of the roses was also very nice. Dogs are allowed in too. If you tell the receptionist, you can also use the dog run. My dog ​​had a great time playing in the natural dog run. There were a lot of people taking photos of their dogs with the roses. However, I thought 1200 yen was expensive for a place this large. Dogs were allowed in for free. I would go again if they could offer some special perks or make it a little cheaper, but for this price, I think it would be enough to go once unless they made the garden bigger or something. The online ticket came with a 100 yen discount coupon for drinks, but it was limited to coffee, tea, and orange juice, and could not be used for lunch. I wish they could offer anything at the shop. (Original) 薔薇の品種は多く、管理もされていてとてもきれいでした。薔薇の香りもとても良かったです。 ワンコも一緒に入れます。受付で伝えればドッグランも使うことができました。自然のドッグランで、我が家のワンコは大喜びで遊びました。ワンコと薔薇で写真を撮る方がとっても大勢いらしゃいました。 ただ、この規模で1200円は高いと思いました。ワンコは無料で入れました。 期間中に何回か入れるとか何か特典があるとか、もう少しお安くして頂けたらまた行こうと思うのですが、この料金だと、園内を、もっと広くしてもらうとか何か無いと、1回行けば良いかなぁと思ってしまいました。 WEBチケットだと飲み物100円引き券が付いてきたのですが、コーヒーと紅茶とオレンジジュースに限るとなっていて、ランチにも使えませんでした。そのお店何でもにしてもらえたらよかったのにと思いました。

(Translated by Google) It was October and they were holding the Autumn Rose Fair, but not many roses were in bloom. Spring might be more spectacular. There were many areas where it seemed like the roses were still growing. It's nice to stroll through the well-maintained garden, but if you're coming from outside the prefecture and paying the admission fee, spring is a good time. I also thought it was nice that there was a dog run inside. (Original) 10月で秋バラフェアだったのですがそれほど多くは咲いていませんでした。春の方が見応えがあるのかもしれません。まだ育成中なのかなと思える部分も多かったです。手入れされた庭を散歩するのは気持ちいいですが県外から来て入場料払って入るなら春がいいと思います。中にドッグランがあるのはいいなと思いました。

(Translated by Google) It was the wrong time to come, as the flowers had fallen and were sunburned. I came at the wrong time. 💦 There's a dog run, and they gave us cold water when we entered, which was really thoughtful. I thought the entrance fee would change depending on how the flowers were blooming, so to be honest, they charged a lot even though there wasn't much. The roses around the entrance were probably the most beautiful. The carp were cute. (Original) 時期的に散ったり日に焼けたりでスカスカでした。 来るタイミング間違えました💦 ドッグランがあるし、入場時に冷たいお水をいただけて、配慮がすごかったです。 咲き具合によって入園料は変わるものだと思っていたので、ほとんど無いのにしっかり取るんだというのが本音です。 入口あたりのバラが一番綺麗だったかも。 鯉が可愛かったです。

(Translated by Google) Spring Rose Festival 2025 I visited in late May. Beautiful roses were in full bloom in the garden. Dogs can enter with a lead or cart. There is a fee to enter the rose garden. Dogs are free. There is also a dog run inside. There is also a cafe restaurant in the free area. You can eat with your dog on the terrace. It is a dog-friendly facility. I hope there are more places like this. (Original) 春バラまつり2025 5月下旬に伺いました。 園内は綺麗なバラが咲き誇っていました わんちゃんはリードやカートで入園ok ローズガーデンは有料 わんちゃんは無料 中にはドッグランもあります 無料の場所にはカフェレストランもあります テラス席でわんちゃんと食事できます わんちゃんに優しい施設です こういう場所がもっと増えてほしいです

Lovely art. Love the culture. It's very hard and long hours of work, very beautiful

It's a marvel to see the many dolls and the museum has a lovely gift shop. No pictures can do this place justice. The museum is also located in a small park with an onsen foot bath to relax your feet.

Japanese beauty.

Moms create art dolls for their daughters, and once the daughters grow up, they donate them to this museum => resulting in a beautiful collection of traditional Japanese art.

(Translated by Google) Admission fee: 500 yen. You can see the hanging decorations of hina dolls that are unique to Inatori, and you will be overwhelmed by their scale. Derivatives of modern arrangements are also on display, so you're sure to enjoy it for a long time. It seems OK to take photos of items other than those for sale. Also, a panel of Hiname Inatori, the hot spring daughter, is displayed at the very back. (Original) 入館料500円。 稲取特有の雛人形の吊るし飾りを眺めることかでき、そのスケールの大きさに圧巻されてしまいます。 現代版アレンジの派生系も展示されており、長時間楽しめること間違いないです。 撮影は販売物以外OKみたいです。 また、温泉むすめの稲取ひなめちゃんのパネルも最奥に展示されています。

(Translated by Google) Hanging dolls are decorated everywhere. It's not that big overall, but it's definitely worth seeing. I learned about it through a collaboration with Onsen Musume, but I think it's worth a visit even if you're interested in local history. By the way, there is also a footbath in the park. (Original) 吊るし雛が所狭しと飾られています。全体的にそれ程広くはありませんが、見応えは大分あります。私は温泉むすめとのコラボで知りましたが、郷土史などに興味がある方も一度足を運んでみても良いと思います。 因みに公園内には足湯もあります。

(Translated by Google) I visited on Sunday, October 12th. The many hanging Hina dolls on display were truly eye-catching. Each of the hanging ornaments has its own meaning and spirit, and you can find out more details in the pamphlet. It's small, but it was a very moving place. Smaller Hina dolls with straps are available for purchase. I received a six-gourd Hina doll as a gift, hoping for good health. (Original) 10月12日(日)に訪問しました。 つるし雛がたくさん飾られていて、目を見張ります。 つるされた飾りには、ひとつひとつの種類に意味や思いが込められていて、パンフレットで詳細を確認できます。 こじんまりとしていますが、感動をいただける場所でした。 雛飾りはストラップが付いた小さめのものが販売されています。無病息災を願って、六瓢箪のひな飾りを頂いて帰りました。

(Translated by Google) I found out about this temple by chance, but I was surprised when I went there! ️I did it. Although it was small, the garden was very clean. The Japanese oak tree also had the atmosphere of a power spot, making it a garden that I wanted to stay in forever. There was also Amabie. When I went up to the main shrine to buy a goshuin, the person who showed me around was nice enough to talk to me about various things. (Original) 偶然知った寺院でしたが、行ってみてびっくり‼️しました。こじんまりとしていましたが庭園もとてもきれいにされていました。榧の木もパワースポットの雰囲気があり、ずっといたい庭園でした。アマビエもおりました。 御朱印を購入しようと本殿に上がりましたところ、ご案内してくださった方も色々お話をしてくださり良かったです。

(Translated by Google) It was a few minutes from Izu Inatori Station and the parking lot was empty, so “ I was drawn to the Kayano-dera Power Spot sign and went in. On the way, I was approached and paid a small amount to try my luck in the dark underground and experience a visit to the womb of evil spirits. I think it feels different depending on the person, but I felt like I was able to ward off evil spirits. By setting the 750-year-old Kaya tree, which was designated as a monument in 1965, as my wallpaper and purchasing a Maya amulet, I can finally correct my bad luck over the past few years. For me personally, it's a power spot. (Original) 伊豆稲取駅数分、駐車場も空いていたので“ かやの寺”パワスポの看板に惹かれて入って行きました。 途中声をかけられ、幾らか払って暗い地下に運試しと厄落としの胎内巡りを体験。人によって感じ方は違うと思いますが、厄払い出来た気がしました。 樹齢750年昭和40年に記念物に認定されたかやの木を待ち受け画面にして、かやのお守りも購入して、ようやくここ数年の運気を修正出来そう。自分個人としてはパワースポットです

(Translated by Google) It's also called "Kaya Temple" 😮 As I was driving around, I saw information boards for "Kaya Temple" all over the place, so I visited it as the third temple on Hina's tour of four temples, and when I entered the precincts, I saw a big Kaya tree 😯 This was the origin of the name "Kaya Temple" 🙂 As I went to the main hall and prayed, A woman came from inside and guided me to the pitch-dark space behind the main hall (Fudou Disaster Path), and I had an experience that made me think that pitch-darkness was like this.The sense of relief I felt when I came out of pitch-darkness to a bright place was indescribable.It made me deeply appreciate the value of light.🤗 After that, I turned around the fortune teller wheel and read my luck, but unfortunately my luck was on the decline. By the way, my wife had the best luck😀 (Original) 別名「榧の寺」というんだね😮車で走っていると、あちこちに「榧の寺」の案内板が出ているので、雛の四ケ寺巡りの３番目に参拝したんだけど、境内に入ると、大きな榧の木が目に入ったんだよねぇ😯これが「榧の寺」の由来だったんだねぇ🙂本堂に行きお参りしていると、中から女性の方が来て、本堂裏の真っ暗闇の空間（不動消災の道）に案内してくれたんだけど、真っ暗闇とはこういうことかと思える体験をしたんだよねぇ😧真っ暗闇から明るい所に出た安心感は、得も言われぬ気持ちだったなぁ😀光の有り難さを、しみじみ感じさせられたよ🤗 その後、運だめしの「占い摩尼車」を廻して、運気を占ったんだけど、残念ながら運は下降気味と出ちゃったよ🥲 因みに、妻は最強運と出たんだよ😀

(Translated by Google) This is a power spot shrine located a few minutes walk from Inatori Station. In the basement, which you can enter by paying 200 yen, there is a large column called a prayer wheel with a sutra written on it. It is said that if you turn it vigorously to the right and stop it with your hand, you can get the same effect as reading a sutra, which is very convenient and valuable. Similarly, some prayer wheels had zodiac signs drawn on them, and you could tell your fortune by turning them and seeing where they stopped. I have visited many shrines and temples, but this was the first time I had seen something like this. It was a very valuable experience and I learned a lot. (Original) 稲取駅から歩いて数分のところにあるパワースポット神社です。 200円払うと入れる地下室に、マニ車と呼ばれる経文が書かれた大きな円柱があります。 右側に勢いよく回して手で止めると、経文を読んだのと同じ効果が得られるという大変便利でありがたいものだそうです。 同じように、マニ車に干支が描かれたものもあり、回して止まった位置で運勢を占うのもありました。 今まで色々な神社や仏閣を回りましたが、このようなものがあるのははじめてでした。 とても貴重な体験をでき、とてもいい勉強になりました。

(Translated by Google) This is a temple that is being guided as a temple of Kaya. From Izu-Inatori Station, cross the road and walk for a few minutes past the bus stop for Animal Kingdom and several restaurants, and when you see the parking lot, that's the entrance. In the precincts, there is a large symbolic Japanese oak tree and some cute Arhat statues scattered here and there. First, please go up to the main hall and pray to the principal image. If you ask the staff at the temple, they will guide you to the ``Fudou Jiai no Michi'' (¥200). Next, go to the room with a prayer wheel and Buddha statues for each zodiac sign, and you will be given an explanation on how to use the fortune-telling prayer wheel. Return to the main hall and go to the treasure hall where you can see several valuable items, including Buddhist statues donated by the Dan family, with explanations. It is a power spot in Inatori, and from the looks of it, it is a ``powerful spot'' in a sense. It's a blessing and a lot of fun, but it's worth a look. (Original) 榧の寺として案内されているお寺です。伊豆稲取駅からだと、道を渡ってアニマルキングダム行きバス停と何軒か飲食店が並ぶ辺りを過ぎるところまで数分歩いて、駐車場が見えてきたらそこが入り口です。 境内にはシンボルの榧(かや)の大木と、そこかしこにちょっと可愛らしい羅漢像が散りばめられています。 先ずは本堂に上がってご本尊にお参りしてください。お寺のスタッフに声をかけると「不動消災の道」(¥200)に案内していただけます。続いてマニ車と干支ごとの仏像のある部屋に行くと、占いマニ車の扱い方を説明いただけます。本堂に戻り、宝物館に行くと檀家寄贈の仏像など貴重な数点を解説付きで拝見できます。 稲取のパワースポットなんですが、見た目からするとある意味「パワーのあるスポット」です。 ありがたいやら楽しいやらで一見の価値はあります。

(Translated by Google) The darkness of the Fudo disaster was really dark and quite scary. For some reason, I burst into tears when I saw Fudo Myoo. Zodiac fortune telling, even if it's bad, there is salvation. I was in a bad mood, so I kept spinning the left wheel while chanting the Heart Sutra. I also prayed for the blessings. I was healed by an Arhat, I rang a Burmese bell, I was amazed by a mysterious fruit tree, and I was healed by a large hay tree. (Original) 不動消災の暗闇が、本当に闇で結構怖かったです。不動明王の姿を見たときはなぜだか涙が出ました。干支占い、悪くてもちゃんと救いがあります。私は凶だったので般若心経を唱えながら左の摩尼車を廻しまくりました。納経祈願もしました。羅漢に癒やされ、ビルマの鐘を鳴らし、謎の果樹に驚き、かやの大樹に癒やされました。

This McDonald's is a huge step up from any in the US. The samurai burger is incredible and would recommend for any tourists. It features bacon, egg and teriyaki on a big Mac and is easily the best tasting burger I've ever had. It's also extremely cheap and a meal which would normally cost ~$30 in the US cost just $17 here. There is no play place like in the US.

At least this is a place where you can get food quickly without hesitation.

perfect comfort food on a rainy day

The staff is nice except the manager i think she is the manager.i'm asking them if they can change my son's burger bun without a sesame seed if i need to pay extra it's okay I'm going to pay because my son have allergy on sesame but she say no without looking at me. Even the other staff ask her but she refuses and she look at my son from head to toe.

(Translated by Google) I came here because I wanted to eat urban food in Inatori. I was surprised that all the seats were empty even though it was Saturday. The locals seem to be mostly ordering take-out. (Original) 稲取で都会的なものが食べたくて来店。土曜日なのに全席空いていてビックリ。地元の皆さんはテイクアウトが基本の様子。

(Translated by Google) I waited for 15 minutes and the staff just walked past me and didn't even say "please wait a moment". When I finally thought they had taken my order, they didn't even say "sorry to have kept you waiting". I often go to McDonald's, but the customer service here is overwhelmingly bad. (Original) 15分ずっと待ってても店員は素通り、少々お待ちくださいも言わない。やっと注文受けたと思ったらお待たせ致しましたもなかったです。僕も良くマックに行きますが、ここは接客態度が圧倒的に悪いです。

(Translated by Google) This is the first time I've ever had such a delicious McDonald's! The bread was so fluffy! I ate it saying, "Wow, McDonald's can be this delicious!" It seems like a lot of locals get takeout, but you should eat it fresh! It's also pretty empty! (Original) こんなに美味しいマック初めて！ パンがふわっふわ！ マックこんなに美味しいとかあるんだーって言いながら食べました 地元の人テイクアウトが多いようだけどこれ出来立て食べるべしですよ！すいてるし！

Cute little soba place run by elderly couple. Their food is good, very generous portion and super cheap. Our lunch set was 900¥ and we could barely finish. They also sell cheap vegetables, I couldn’t believe that they sell bag of onions for 100¥!!! We had very pleasant experience here

(Translated by Google) I used it a little early in the day. There were many local regulars. The menu prices were cheap and there were rice bowl dishes as well. I ordered tempura and only one soup (^_^;) This soup was quite sweet. The soba noodles were completely overcooked and very soft. As for the condiments, daikon radish and wasabi were served in the same place. The wasabi was starting to melt in the radish juice (sweat) The soba-yu was clear and clear! It bothers me that the clerks always say "excuse me" as the first thing they say in conversation. (Original) 昼間の少し早めの時間に利用しました。地元の常連さんが多かったです。 メニュー価格は安めで丼物もありました。 注文したのは天ざるで汁は一つのみ(^_^;) この汁がかなり甘かったです。 蕎麦は完全に茹で過ぎでとても柔らかかった。 薬味は大根卸とわさびが同じ場所に盛り付けされていたので 大根の汁でわさびが溶け出していた(汗 蕎麦湯は透明感があり透き通ったお湯でした！ 店員さんは何をするにも一言目に必ず「すいません」といって会話するのが気になります。

(Translated by Google) Visited on a weekday in 2025 Visited in the early afternoon. My former boss used to frequent this restaurant, and I'd been interested in it for a while, but the opening hours didn't work out for my visit. The location is great, overlooking the town of Inatori, the ocean, and the Inatori Hato (botanical geoglyph). I ordered the premium katsudon, which was delicious. By coincidence? While they listed no set menus, they did offer a mini bowl of chilled udon noodles. The broth was on the rich side, which I think would appeal to those who like it. I'd like to return if I can find the time. (Original) 2025年平日訪問 お昼過ぎに訪問。 元上司御用達で前々から気になっていたお店ですが、営業時間と訪問時間が合わず断念していました。 稲取の街と海&稲取の鳩(植物地上絵)を望む立地が良いです。 上カツ丼を注文。非常に美味でした。 たまたま？セットメニューが無いとの表記でしたが、単品でも冷やしミニうどんが付いていました。 汁は濃い目で、好きな人には刺さると思います。 なるべく時間を合わせてリピートしたいです。

(Translated by Google) Visited in October 2025 I was a little hesitant because other reviews said the curry was too spicy, so I ordered the katsu curry. It wasn't too spicy, but it wasn't sweet either. The katsu was cut into small pieces, making it easy to eat, and it came with a mini udon bowl, so I think it was a great value for 950 yen. I visited on a weekday, but the restaurant was full before noon. (Original) 令和7年10月訪問 他のレビューでカレーが辛すぎる。とあったので一抹の不安を胸にカツカレーを注文。でもそんなに辛く無いです甘くも無いですが。カツは小さく切ってあって食べ易くミニうどんが付いて950円はコスパ高いと思います。平日利用でしたが12時前には満席になりました。

(Translated by Google) I ordered a set menu, and the price was reasonable and the owner was kind enough to guide me. Japanese people also order katsudon a lot, but this is a great katsudon restaurant. It’s delicious. (Original) 세트 메뉴를 시켰는데 가격도 합리적이고 주인분이 친절하게 안내해주셔서 좋았습니다. 일본분들도 가츠동 많이 시켜드시던데 가츠동 맛집입니다 개꿀맛

Very nice curry rice😋😋😋

beautiful views and great food

(Translated by Google) A curry restaurant located along Route 135 between Inatori and Kawazu. The menu is extensive, cheap and delicious. I had the fried horse mackerel curry. The restaurant is located in a place with a great view. However, the parking lot is quite steep and has a lot of steps. I think it's not a problem for cars that have not been lowered, but personally I think large motorcycles should be careful (especially when the parking lot is full) as it can be difficult to maneuver. The curry itself is really reasonable and delicious, and the freshly squeezed juice that comes with it is also really tasty. (Original) 稲取と河津の間の135号線沿いにあるカレー屋さん。 メニュー豊富で安くて美味しい。 私はアジフライカレーをいただきました。 とても景色の良い場所にお店があります。 ただ、駐車場の傾斜と段差がかなり凄いです。 車高を落としていないクルマなら問題ないと思いますが、個人的には、大型バイクは（満車時は特に）要注意だと思います。取り回しの難易度が高いので。 肝心のカレーは本当にリーズナブルで美味しくて、一緒に出てくる生搾りジュースも凄く美味いですよ。

(Translated by Google) I've been curious about this restaurant for a while. The entrance is on the second floor, and the dining area is on the first floor, I think. As I descended the stairs, a waiter greeted me. From the window, I could see Ginsuiso and, in the distance, Izu Oshima. I ordered the vegetable curry. It was spicy and delicious. I think the mandarin orange juice was homemade, too. It was delicious. The edge of the plate is dirty because my companion put the cutlet down while I was taking the photo. The curry set comes with salad and mandarin orange juice (900 yen including tax). The mandarin orange juice is not included with the regular curry rice (700 yen including tax). (Original) ずっと気になっていたお店です。 入口が2階で、食べる所は、1階なのでしょうか。階段を降りて行くと、店員さんがお出迎え。 窓からの景色は、銀水荘が見えるし、遠くには、伊豆大島が見えます。 私は、野菜カレーにしました。スパイシーなカレーで、美味しかったです。 みかんジュースも、自家製なのかな。美味しかったです。 お皿の縁が汚れているのは、写真を撮っているのに、連れがカツを置いたからです。 セットのカレーには、サラダとみかんジュースが付きます。（税込900円） ただのカレーライスには、みかんジュースは、付きません。（税込700円）

(Translated by Google) I visited for lunch. I've been here several times, and while the price remains reasonable, I feel the quantity and quality of the rice has declined. Still, I recommend this place considering the price and portion size. The super spicy curry is still quite spicy even at double the serving, so unless you're confident in your ability to handle spicy food, I recommend starting with double the serving. The freshly squeezed tangerine juice that comes with the curry is delicious, just like a real tangerine, and I highly recommend it. The parking lot has steps in some areas, so be careful if you have a low-slung car. (Original) ランチ目的に来訪 複数回伺っていますが、お値打ちな価格は変わらないもののご飯が量、質ともに低下していると感じました。 それでも価格とボリュームを考える地お勧めではあります。 激辛カレーは2倍でもそこそこ辛いので、辛いものに自信がある方以外は先ずは2倍からをお勧めします。 カレーについてくる生搾り？ミカンジュースはみかんそのものでお勧めできます 駐車場は場所によって段差があるので車高の低い車は注意して下さい

(Translated by Google) It used to be a guesthouse, but now it's a curry restaurant. Lunch comes with a salad and drink for 900 yen, and you can choose from a variety of options. The curry itself is light and not very rich. The pork cutlet curry is popular, but it's made with thick loin. It's nice that they bring you a pitcher of tea. I hope this restaurant will continue to do business for a long time. (Original) 昔は民宿今はカレー屋さん。お昼のランチはサラダドリンク付き900円で色々選べます。カレー自体はコクとかはあまりないサラリとした感じ。カツカレーが人気ですが厚みのあるロースです。お茶もピッチャーで持ってきてくれるのが嬉しいですね。末永くやっていって欲しい店です

(Translated by Google) This is a restaurant I've always wanted to try. The curry rice had a nostalgic feel and came with fresh juice. I was surprised to go downstairs from the entrance and into a tatami room. This restaurant seems to be loved by locals. The curry rice was medium spicy, and the cutlet was crispy and delicious. The hamburger steak was on the soft side. The fresh juice was also simple and delicious. It felt like a dessert. (Original) 前から行ってみたかったお店。生ジュースつきで懐かしい感じのカレーライス。入り口から下におりて、座敷の部屋にいくのはびっくり。 地元に愛されている感じのお店です。 カレーライスは中辛、カツもサクサク美味しかったです。ハンバーグは柔らかめでした。 生ジュースも素朴な美味しさ。デザート的な感じです。

An amazing view from and at the top. Just that on the day of our visit the winds were too strong and it was extremely cold up there. Do brace yourself abit if you were visiting there while strong winds were blowing, as it be quite challenging to walk around the mountain and the experience can be quite terrifying (the feeling of your were about to be blown away by the wind from the top of the mountain🤣). We were quite lucky to be able to get the lift up before the service was totally cancelled for the rest of the day due to the strong winds.

I came at 11 a.m. on August 15, 2025. I had to wait in line for about 1.5 hours for the chairlift, and it was incredibly hot with strong sun. Be sure to prepare for the long wait by bringing a hat, water, and a UV protection umbrella. Once you're up there, the weather is clear, and the mountain is beautiful. The walk around the mountains takes about 20 to 30 minutes

This is a beautiful mountain(that is pretty small) where, on the top of the mountain, Mt.Fuji is clearly visible. There is a shooting range(bow and arrow) in the crater(with a lot of greenery) and a climbing chairlift from which you can reach the top of the mountain from the bottom. There is also an ice cream shop on the top of the mountain with a small seating area. I do not think it is possible to hike this mountain as it is very steep.

Today was mountain climbing day! And what better mountain to traverse than the mountain that was featured in the anime 'Your Name" Mount Omuro is a very large and fun Mountain filled with lots of great views and places to walk. A full 1 hour walk around and see as far as the sky will allow you. It was a very enjoyable hike which was started and capped with a fun ride on the Rope way. A very popular destination as when leaving, the line had tripled in size! I recommend going early just as the Mount opens to avoid the 1hr wait time some have observed before.

Mt. Omuro (大室山) is a spectacular, extinct volcano in Shizuoka with panoramic views, a crater you can walk around, and fun attractions like archery, gift shops, and tasty snacks. Chairlifts provide access to the summit—just check wind conditions before visiting! At only ¥1000 for the ride, this is one of the best-value scenic spots in Japan. (5/5) Full Review Mt. Omuro: A Volcanic Gem with Views, Value, and a Bit of Wildlife Drama Rating: ★★★★★ (5/5) Few attractions strike the perfect balance between value, beauty, and unique experience quite like Mt. Omuro (大室山) in the Izu Peninsula. This extinct volcano, with its near-perfect symmetry and grass-covered slopes, isn’t just a geological wonder—it's a fully packaged experience, offering unbeatable vistas, delightful snacks, and a slice of adventure with just the right dash of whimsy. Let’s start with a practical note: weather matters. We had to visit twice—on our first attempt, strong winds meant the scenic chairlifts (gondola-style lifts) were grounded. Disappointing, sure, but entirely understandable given the exposed nature of the summit. So here’s my advice: check the wind forecast, and shoot for a clear-skied day to boost your chances of spotting the elusive Mount Fuji on the horizon. When we finally made it up on day two, the experience was well worth the wait. For only ¥1000 per person, the chairlift glides you gently to the top, revealing sweeping views of Ito City, the Pacific Ocean, and rolling hills in every direction. The crater itself is walkable—a 360-degree rim trail that's flat, easy, and endlessly photogenic. And inside the bowl-like crater? A surprising twist: an archery range. Yes, you can channel your inner samurai while literally standing in a volcano. At the base of Mt. Omuro, there’s even a zoo (Izu Shaboten Zoo) and additional attractions to round out your day trip. But the summit is where the real magic happens. I was pleasantly surprised by the gift shops and cafes, which didn’t fall into the usual overpriced tourist trap formula. In fact, Mt. Omuro was running a Yuru Camp collaboration while we were there—a brilliant marketing crossover that gets bonus points in my book. As for the food, it was shockingly good for a mountaintop rest stop. Highlights included: Hokkaido milk ice cream: ultra-creamy, with a beautifully crisp cone. Miso-dipped mochi dango: savory, warm, and satisfyingly chewy. Fluffy meat bun: solid comfort food. Yakisoba: a classic Japanese staple, well-executed. Churrito (mini churro): sweet, crunchy, and worth every yen—until a hawk tried to steal it. Yes, you read that right. A hawk or falcon, clearly a local of the area, launched a bold attempt to snatch my snack. I managed to defend my churrito (barely), but another guest nearby wasn’t as lucky. While the bird doesn’t seem to pose any direct threat to people, it’s laser-focused on open food. It's a minor inconvenience that honestly added a bit of National Geographic excitement to the day. Nature finds a way… to swipe your sweets. In conclusion, Mt. Omuro is a hidden treasure—a destination that blends nature, culture, and lighthearted fun into an affordable, worthwhile visit. Between the panoramic views, quirky attractions, and delicious eats, this is an experience I would happily recommend to tourists and locals alike. Just watch your snacks.

Summer day where Mt Fuji is also visible on Mt. Omuro summit 19/7/2025. Rice Cake with either matcha or red bean paste is a must try (350 yen each)

The view from the top is simply amazing. Went in February, still winter and it was absolutely freezing! But worth the views and the walk. You can see Mt Fuji from the top, but unfortunately she was hidden by thick clouds on the day that I went. The only way to get up there is by chair lift. There's a direct bus from Ito Station.

Lake Ippeki (一碧湖) is a calm and scenic spot best suited for locals or slow-paced travelers with time to spare. While peaceful and photogenic in its own right, it lacks standout features to justify a detour for most tourists. (2/5) Full Review Lake Ippeki: A Quiet Pause, But Not a Destination Rating: ★★☆☆☆ (2/5) Not every attraction in Japan needs to dazzle or overwhelm. Some, like Lake Ippeki (一碧湖), offer a softer appeal—a whisper rather than a shout. Tucked away in the Izu Peninsula, this lake exudes a quiet serenity that locals no doubt treasure. For travelers who enjoy wandering through lesser-known corners of Japan, this location might serve as a pleasant interlude. But for most tourists, especially those navigating a tight itinerary, this may not be a worthwhile stop. There are a few charming touches: the ability to take a small boat onto the lake to reach a tiny island, for instance, does offer a touch of novelty. The forest trail that rings the lake provides a shaded, tranquil setting for a contemplative walk or picnic. In the right season—perhaps a crisp autumn afternoon or early spring morning—it could very well feel like a peaceful escape from the crowds. But the key word here is could. For the average tourist, especially those looking to maximize their time and experience, Lake Ippeki simply doesn’t stand out. The views, while pretty, lack the grandeur of more dramatic lake destinations like Kawaguchiko or Ashi. The facilities are minimal, the signage isn’t particularly tourist-friendly, and unless you’re armed with a car and a leisurely attitude, getting here can feel more like a detour than a discovery. That said, I don’t mean to diminish its worth entirely. For residents of the Izu area or frequent travelers to Japan looking for something quiet, off the beaten path, this could be a delightful spot to recharge. Sometimes, a place doesn’t need to be thrilling—it just needs to be still. Lake Ippeki offers stillness in spades. But for those weighing opportunity costs—the time, transport, effort—it’s difficult to recommend this site above other regional highlights. It’s a place that asks for time, and gives you calm in return. If that’s your travel style, you might find value here. Otherwise, I’d suggest allocating your hours elsewhere. Verdict: Lake Ippeki is a local gem, not a tourist must-see. Peaceful and lightly photogenic, it works well for those with time to spare—but may leave others wondering what else they could’ve done instead.

Beautiful lake surrounded by forests. Pleasnatly quiet and great for a stroll. There's a small parking spot nearby, however you can also drop off at a nearby local bus stop. You can also rent a small paddle boat.

A small crater lake, 6km south of Ito city. The circumference is only 4 km, but this is the largest lake in Izu Peninsula where there are very few lakes and ponds. There are twelve islands, and the beautiful scene reflecting the Amagi Mountains on the lake is known as the ”the eye of Izu”. There are 250 cherry trees planted along the lake, with campsites. The lake is stocked with carp, black bass and bluegill, and is popular for fishers as well as people riding boats.

There are a few cafes along the lake. It’s beautiful but there is nothing much to do.

Some steps but not terribly difficult to walk a loop around the lake. We had fun spotting the giant koi fishes in the lake as well.

A quiet and easy walking trail, suitable for families with children.

A tranquil lake, but not very beautiful.

Eclectic combination flower garden and Tiffany lamp exhibit. Which is really quite good. Because Tiffany lamps have floral themes it works with the garden. Even in December some flowers were out and we would go back in spring. Very dog friendly. Some steep trails. Shop and cafe as well.

A very interesting combination of lamps and flower gardens but it makes sense when you learn about the history behind this place. It's not very big but there's a number of spectacular photo spots and the facilities are well-maintained. I strongly suggest going in June when the hydrangeas bloom, the hydrangea garden makes up almost half the area and is closed when out of season. There's also a cafe and gift store. This place is right at the entrance to the two hiking trails that go up the Jogasaki Coast and eventually get to the lighthouse and suspension bridge, so you can't miss it.

I enjoyed this garden a lot, there a lot of photo spot and the view on the coast is superb. The flowers are many and the garden is well kept. Inside there is a restaurant where you can have some nice dishes and coffee and relax watching the sea

Super nice océan view with beautiful flowers all year round. Pets friendly with a lot of stuff for pets only!

Beautiful location, TIFFANY's lamps are amazing, but it's a pity that the hydrangeas haven't bloomed yet

Very unique and very beautiful place. It's open Garden, you can go with your Family and friends. Ocean view from the top is clear and mind relaxing. For visitors camera stands are available so everyone can take perfect photos. Also there are different areas of the park with different look, I liked the sky of umbrellas, actually everything is perfect. Lamps are so antique and unique all the details are clear and specific it is work of dedication and perfection. For pet they have so many cute options for photoshoot must explore that. Restaurant inside have some decent options however I personally felt it was costly. 1km walk to Jogasaki coast was beautiful experience. We took the Jungle path so it was easy and suggested for elderly and parents. Enjoy your time. I visited this place in Golden week. 30April2022.

Truly an amazing and relaxing place to visit. From countless flowers to a tiffany glass museum - you are in for a real treat. Lots of picture opportunities.

Very pretty! The coast view is superb! And the hiking trail is clear and clean. Spent a great afternoon here!

A very beautiful place. This is also the name of the bus stop if coming from Mt. Omuro. This is the start (or end?) of the Picnic Course. The hike is quite easy and with great views all around

A great way to kill a few hours around Izo and buy local foods and crafts. The best part - the public footspa, so bring a towel and enjoy the ocean views while soaking your feet at the end of the day.

Gorgeous view, easy to walk, safe, plenty of parking spots.

Beautiful! Great facility for kids and family. Very clean and safe. However, most of the seats need reservation online. A bit expensive, 1500 jpy per adult for entry, 1100 jpy for car, about 1000 jpy per meal.

Stunning view. Recommend to take hiking road. very relaxing.

Nice place for young couples and families. Lot's of attractions and a nice scuba diving school.

Fabulous yakiniku place in the area. So glad to finally eat here. Restaurant has 2 sections, one side (upon entering) restaurant and to the left side, yakiniku side, with different menu. We had the yakiniku this time, lunch menu. The ala carte looks very tempting too. Menu as seen here is good as is. Even the restaurant side, didn't get to see the menu but looks good from other postings. The restaurant is renovated a year ago as we were told. Have been in business since 1960s, from grandparents generation. Ample parking, in front of the restaurant. Will look forward to visiting again.

Better than I expected! Food was delicious. Would definitely come again if I’m in the area.

I like the grilled meat here

(Translated by Google) We recommend the recommended menu! I visited Izu on a trip and had two young children. Pizza and french fries are helpful <The same shop is also a cafe, so they have menus other than Yakiniku> Adults can enjoy Yakiniku, and children can enjoy Yakiniku. The Shimoda wine was medium and sweet and easy to drink! The jjigae wasn't spicy at all, so I wish it had been more spicy, but I enjoyed all the other dishes as well. (Original) おすすめメニューがおすすめです！ 旅行で伊豆に訪問、幼児2人がいてるので ピザやフライドポテトは助かります<同じお店でカフェをされていてそれで焼肉以外のメニューもある> 大人は焼肉子供は子供で楽しめる。　しもだワインもミディアムめで甘みもあり飲みやすかった！ チゲが全然辛くなかったのでもっと辛いのがよかったなぁ、、とそれ以外料理も全ておいしくいただきました。

(Translated by Google) I go to Atagawa several times a year, but I always stop by. We have a lunch menu at noon and Yakiniku at night, and both are delicious. My child asked for curry and they were very kind and made it not spicy. Although the location is a bit lonely, it is always crowded with customers. (Original) 熱川には年に数回行きますが、必ず立ち寄ります。お昼にはランチメニューを、夜には焼肉をいただきますが、どれも美味しいです。子供がカレーを頼んだのですが、辛くないようにしてくださったりとても親切でした。 場所的にはちょっと寂しい所にありますが、お客さんでいつも賑わっています。

(Translated by Google) I was staying at a nearby hotel and was looking for a place to eat dinner. I read the reviews and decided on this place. ☆ It's a homey restaurant, and a ton of customers showed up as soon as it opened! I was asked if I wanted yakiniku, so I headed to a seat near the front... There were many yakiniku tables in the back. I had the rice bowl that was featured on TV, and it was delicious! They have chairs and cutlery for children. The staff were kind and polite, so it was a pleasant experience. (Original) 近くのホテルに泊まっていて、夕食を食べられるところを探しており レビューを見て決めました☆ アットホームなお店で、開店と同時に沢山のお客さんが来られていました！ 焼き肉かどうかを聞かれ、手前の席へ… 奥には焼き肉のテーブルが沢山ありました。 TVで紹介された丼をいただきました、とっても美味しかったです！ お子様用の椅子やカトラリーがあります。 お店の方も親切で丁寧、気持ちよく利用出来ました。

The Kawazu cherry blossoms (Kawazu-zakura) are a breathtaking sight and a must-see for any sakura enthusiast. Unlike the more common Somei Yoshino cherry blossoms, which bloom briefly in early April, Kawazu-zakura are an early-blooming variety, appearing as early as February and lasting for about a month. Their deep pink petals and long flowering period make them particularly stunning. One of the best places to experience these blossoms is in Kawazu, Shizuoka Prefecture, where the annual Kawazu Cherry Blossom Festival (河津桜まつり) transforms the town into a picturesque paradise. The trees lining the Kawazu River create a tunnel of pink, beautifully complemented by yellow nanohana (rapeseed flowers) blooming nearby. The festival atmosphere is lively, with food stalls selling regional delicacies like sakura mochi and fresh seafood. At night, the illuminated blossoms add a magical touch, making it a great experience for both daytime and evening visitors. Overall, the Kawazu cherry blossoms offer a unique and serene hanami experience, perfect for those who want to enjoy Japan’s sakura season ahead of the crowds in March and April. Whether you’re a photographer, a nature lover, or simply looking for a relaxing spring getaway, Kawazu-zakura won’t disappoint.

I wish we visited one week earlier when Sakura was in full bloom. Still, it wasn't bad and worth a visit! There was plenty of parking space when I came on a Saturday afternoon.

Come during mid of february, this is when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom. Parking is atrocious, some cars wait over one hour to find a spot. There are plenty of food stalls, though not all are quality.

Endless rows of cherry blossoms stretch as far as the eye can see. Along the way, there are food stalls where you can enjoy a meal while admiring the beautiful pink flowers against the clear blue sky.

The sakura trees are mainly planted along the river. The festival is on Feb. My visit was on 8 Feb. About 70-80% bloomed as there was a snow few days before. The full blossom seems around mid-Feb;1-2 weeks earlier than last year.

Kawazu Cherry Blossoms We came on 27 Feb, this is when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom. It’s quite early for Japan in general. The sakura trees are mainly planted along the canal or river. Such a beautiful place, small town with lots of Sakura trees. Several food stalls were set up for the Sakura festival. We really loved this small town. Also it's really close to the station.

Early blossom booming this time. It’s a bit warm than other area in JP. It is supposed flower is booming til end of this week. It’s easy to get there by train or express train. For tourist with big luggage , there’s a line of locker with varity size from 400-800yen/ time.

(Translated by Google) ★The sacred well and the legend of Yoritomo★ Hachiman Shrine is the main guardian shrine of Inatori, Higashiizu-cho, Shizuoka Prefecture, and is deeply revered by the local people. The date of its founding is unknown, but Yayoi period artifacts have been excavated from the grounds, and it is believed that rituals have been held there since ancient times. During the Heian period, a Sanbaso-style Shinto ritual was held, and currently, local children perform "children's Sanbaso" to dedicate the shrine. ◇Connection with Minamoto no Yoritomo This shrine has a deep connection with Minamoto no Yoritomo, and it is said that Yoritomo performed Mizugori (a custom of purifying the mind and body by bathing in cold water or seawater when praying to gods and Buddhas) at the well in the grounds to pray for the revival of the Genji clan. In addition, a Buddha statue that Yoritomo protected and made the principal image is enshrined, and it attracted the faith of many samurai who prayed for long-lasting military fortune. During the Edo period, it was deeply revered by the magistrates, and offered heihaku (offerings of offerings) to the shrine. Offerings such as 'Okinawa' (a general term for things offered to the gods in Shinto) continued to be made. During the Great Edo Earthquake in 1855, people from Inatori living in Edo offered to donate roof tiles for the worship hall, believing that the safety of people from Inatori was due to the protection of the local deity. On this occasion, a wealthy Edo merchant, Iseya Zenbei, donated 100 ryo (about 10 million yen), which made the restoration of the shrine possible. 10 million yen! That's very generous (￣ー￣) smirk The shrine grounds are lined with onigawara tiles and donation signs from that time, conveying the efforts of our ancestors to the present day ◇A magnificent shrine building The current shrine building was rebuilt in 1864 and is a magnificent building made of cypress wood cut from the mountains of Amagi Recently, with assistance from the Inatori District Property District, the roof tiles have been replaced The grounds also feature a torii gate made of stone from Inatori that was erected in 1687, and a "Japanese-Russian War Memorial" built on the foundation of castle stones used in the repair of Edo Castle With such a history, Hachiman Shrine has been a valuable presence that has walked alongside the people of Inatori since ancient times, conveying the faith and culture of the region to the present day ◇Specialty Hanging decorations In the Inatori region, there has been a custom since the Edo period of displaying a pair of hanging decorations on both sides of the doll stand during the Girls' Festival. Even today, from February to March, you can see a series of hanging decorations in the precincts, including crawling dolls that resemble babies, Sanbaso dolls, and rabbits. ******************************************** [Enshrined deity] -Hotsusawake no Mikoto The guardian deity of Inatori, the guardian deity of the land. He is said to be the child deity of Mishima no Kami, who is enshrined in various places in Izu, such as Mishima Taisha Shrine. -Homudawake no Mikoto Honda Wake no Mikoto After being defeated in the Hogen Rebellion (1156) and exiled to Izu Oshima, Minamoto Tametomo's son, Tameie, moved to Inatori with his retainers and was enshrined here. Although there is no mention of this in historical books, a flag believed to have been passed down by Tametomo remains at an old house in Inatori, and in 1798, the senior councilor Matsudaira Sadanobu, who was inspecting Izu, was amazed to see it, as recorded in his diary.

(Translated by Google) It's an elegant shrine. It was called Inatori Soshinju. The goshuin is at the Shinto priest's home next to the torii gate. I was able to write it. Is it the corresponding daughter? ? Very cute and polite It was lovely. The person who wrote it was an elderly grandmother. thank you very much. Usually the roof lion, Shishikatai, is on the roof.

Quite clean beach with a rescue team during day time. Wave is quite high and wind is strong thus needs certain skill of swimming.

Came here in the morning. The wave is high and no lifeguard. It’s near a hotel and you can wash your foot by outdoor water tap.

Nice beach though water was quite cold a must see place in summers!!!!

(Translated by Google) About 5 minutes walk from Izu-Atagawa Station. As you go down the slope, you can see the sea. You can faintly see Oshima on the opposite shore. The waves look rough. There were a few people surfing. There is a space to park your car in front. (Original) 伊豆熱川駅から徒歩5分程度。 坂を下っていくと海が見えてきます。 対岸の大島がうっすら見えます。 波が荒い印象。 サーフィンをする方がちらほらいました。 目の前に車を駐車するスペースがあります。

(Translated by Google) [Report before the beach opens on Saturday, June 28, 2025] - Location of the free showers Free showers are installed outside the building of the "public toilets" between Atagawakan and Hotel Setas Royal. There are two in total, one on the men's side and one on the women's side. The beach is about 300m long, so no matter where you sit, the distance to the showers is close and there is no problem. - About the parking lot at the beach The guide at the T-junction of Hotel Setas Royal states "Public parking lot 260m", but as far as I walked around the area, there was no place clearly marked as "public parking lot", so I was not sure. Does it refer to the area near the "Takaiso public toilet" at the northernmost part of the beach and the parking space along the coast south of the Atagawa coastal embankment? The other parking spaces along the beach have colored contact lenses with the hotel name in front of them, so it seemed like general cars could not be parked. It seems that there will be a shortage of parking spaces when the beach opens. - Distance from the station and surrounding hotels About a 5-minute walk from Izu Atagawa Station. The way there is easy as it is downhill, but the way back is a steep uphill climb and a bit tough if you have heavy luggage. I walked from the beach to the only convenience store in Atagawa, Family Mart along National Route 135 (the route goes from Atagawa Ocean Resort to Banana Crocodile Park without using stairs) for about 15 minutes, but I was sweating even with empty hands. It is possible to walk to hotels along the national route (Atagawa Prince or Itoen, etc.), but it is difficult to walk back after playing in the sea. ・About the foot bath (Atagawa Hot Park) It is located along the river in front of Hotel Shinayoshi. There is a foot washing area, and there is a notice to wash off the sand before entering. There is no shade, so I guess almost no one enters in the summer. I think it is useful when you want to wash your feet when returning to the hotel from the beach. (Original) 【2025/6/28(土)海開き前のレポート】 ・無料シャワーの位置について 熱川館とホテルセタスロイヤルの間にある「公衆トイレ」の建物外側に無料シャワーが設置されています。男性側に1基、女性側に1基の合計2基です。長さ300mくらいのビーチなので、どこに陣取ってもシャワーまでの距離は近く問題ありません。 ・ビーチの駐車場について ホテルセタスロイヤルのＴ字路の案内には「一般駐車場260m」と記載されていましたが、周辺を歩いた限りでは「一般駐車場」と明示された場所は無く、良く分かりませんでした。ビーチ最北側の「高磯公衆トイレ」付近と、熱川海岸堤防より南側の海岸沿い駐車スペースを指しているのか？その他のビーチ沿いの駐車スペースは、目の前にあるホテル名のカラコンがそれぞれ立てられており、一般車は止められない感じでした。海開き時は駐車スペースが不足しそうです。 ・駅や周辺ホテルからの距離感 伊豆熱川駅からは徒歩約5分。行きは下りでラクですが、帰りは急な上り坂で荷物が重いと少しキツいです。ビーチから熱川唯一のコンビニ、国道135号沿いのファミマまで歩いたところ《熱川オーシャンリゾート→バナナワニ園前を通るルートで階段は使わず》約15分弱、手ぶらでも汗だくになり厳しかったです。国道沿いのホテル（熱川プリンスや伊東園など）まで歩くのは、行きは何とかなっても、海で遊んで疲れた帰り道は厳しいと思います。 ・足湯（熱川ほっとぱぁーく）について ホテル志なよしの前の川沿いにあります。足洗い場があり、砂を落としてから入るよう説明が掲示されていました。日陰が無いので、夏はほぼ入る人はいないのでは？ビーチからホテルに帰る際に足を洗いたいときには使えると思います。

(Translated by Google) I visited on the day the beach opens in 2025. The sea is beautiful. There are areas with waves and areas that are calm, so it's fun whether you go with friends or family. There's not much trash on the beach, maybe because it's beach opening day. The good thing about this place is that there aren't many people, but there are many lifeguards, so it feels very safe. There are also free showers and toilets. There is only one beach hut, and no changing rooms or lockers. There was also one shop that felt more like a food stall. The menu isn't very extensive. They do have rental life jackets for around 1,000 yen. It cost 300 yen to inflate the life jackets. Rather than having a lively party, I think it's best to just bring a lunch bucket and a picnic blanket and relax. (Original) 2025年海開きの当日に訪問。 海は綺麗です。 波もあるところと穏やかなところがあるので、友達と行っても家族と行っても楽しめます。 砂浜も海開きの日だからかもだけど、ゴミは目立ちません。 ここの良いところは、人が少ないけどライフセーバーの人が多くてとても安心できます。 無料のシャワー、トイレもあります。 海の家は一つある程度で、更衣室とかロッカーは無しです。 あと屋台的な感じのも1店舗ありました。 メニューは多くはないです。 貸浮輪とかはあって、1000円とかです。 浮輪の空気入れは300円でした。 わいわいというより、ランチバケットとレジャーシート持ってゆっくり過ごすのがおすすめだと思いました。

(Translated by Google) There are few sandy beaches in East Izu, with Ito, Kawana, Atagawa, and Imaihama being the only ones. Others are more famous, and this is a hidden gem, as it was originally an artificial beach made of gravel. The water is cleaner than Ito or Kawana. It's within walking distance from the station, and there's a parking lot along the beach. In season, there are parking spaces for hotel guests, beach huts, and headquarters, so there are fewer spaces, but you can still park for free. The toilets are clean, and it's nice that there's another shower (with cold water) on either side. Facing the sea, there's also a footbath at the back left, so use it if you get cold. (Original) 東伊豆では、砂のビーチが少なく伊東、川奈、熱川、今井浜。他が有名なのと、元がゴロタの人工砂浜なのもあり中々の穴場。 伊東や川奈より水が綺麗。 駅からも徒歩圏内、ビーチ沿いが駐車場でシーズンだと並びの宿泊客用や、海の家や本部が出来て少ないが無料で停めれる。 トイレも綺麗で両サイドにシャワー（水）もう一箇所あるのも有り難い。海正面にして左奥に足湯もあるので冷えたらどーぞ

Small quiet izakaya away from the main part of town. All the food was delicious, reasonably priced. Can park just outside the restaurant.

Excellent tempura at a reasonable price. Nice ambience about the place. We will visit again when we're in the area.

Delicious fresh and fried fish

(Translated by Google) I stopped by when I went to see the cherry blossom trees along the cross-country course in Izu Inatori. There are three parking spaces in front of the restaurant, but if the lot is full, you can use the parking lot at the port. I ordered the local fish fry set meal, and today's fish was red horse mackerel, which was delicious, with a soft, fluffy flavor and a sweet sauce. The price was also reasonable. (Original) 伊豆稲取のクロスカントリーコースの桜並木を観に行った際に利用しました。駐車場は店の手前に3台、満車の場合は港の駐車場が利用できます。地魚フライ定食を注文、今日のお魚は尾赤アジ、ホクホクの味に甘めのタレが染み込んでいてとても美味しかったです。お値段もリーズナブルでした。

(Translated by Google) The inside is a little small, but there are counter seats, a small raised area, and table seats. The fish used is from Kitagawa Fishing Port, so it's very fresh and delicious. In addition to the lunch menu, we also have a wide variety of a la carte dishes. At night, it's a drinking place, and they seem to be particular about the sake they serve, and there are a wide variety of them. (Original) 中は少し狭いけど、カウンター、小上がり、テーブル席とある。 北川漁港水揚げの魚を使っていて鮮度もよくて美味しいです。 ランチメニュー以外に一品料理も充実してます。 夜は呑み処で、日本酒はこだわりがあるようで種類も豊富です

(Translated by Google) If you want to eat seafood in Inatori, this is the place to go!! The menu features fresh seafood caught at the time, so it's fun that the menu is different every time you go🌈 They also have a great selection of sake! (Original) 稲取で海鮮料理を食べるならココ！！ その時にとれた新鮮な海鮮がメニューになっているので行く度にメニューが違うのも楽しい🌈 日本酒も揃っていて最高です！

(Translated by Google) I visited this restaurant because it had good reviews. The restaurant is small and hard to find, but it was a restaurant that I'm really glad I went. I had the local fish tempura bowl, and the fish was very soft and fluffy, and the sauce on the rice was delicious. My husband didn't have fried horse mackerel, so he had fried white fish, and was surprised that the meat was just as soft and delicious as the tempura bowl. The local fish sashimi bowl was also thick and fresh, and delicious. The miso soup was a fish soup with a good broth. The atmosphere was good, and the female staff were very friendly, so it's a restaurant I'd like to visit again next time. (Original) 口コミが良かった為、伺いました。 お店が小さくわかりにくいのですが、行って本当に正解👍と思える食堂でした。 地魚の天丼をいただきましたが、魚がフワフワ柔らかくて、ご飯にかかっているタレも美味しかったです。主人はアジフライがなかったので、白身魚のフライを食べましたが、天丼同様身が柔らかく美味しくてびっくりしていました。地魚のお刺身丼も身が厚くて新鮮で美味しかったです。味噌汁があら汁ですがいい出汁が出ていました。雰囲気が良く、店員の女性の方もとても感じが良くて次回も行きたいお店となりました。

When I visited here, unfortunately some of the dishes which I wanted were already out-of-stock. however, grilled Alfonsino with miso was really good(^o^)

delicous！

Friendly staff. Nice and fresh sea food.

great food and very friendly even for families

Nice different kind of dishes, friendly staff

Yummy tempura

(Translated by Google) I took a short weekend trip to Izu. A friend of mine always visits the nearby Banana Crocodile Garden and Izu no Ajidokoro Nishiki, a restaurant he loves to visit whenever he visits Izu. The restaurant is popular with locals, and its lively interior is lined with seafood bowls and a la carte dishes, all of which looked delicious. My friend raved about the seafood bowl, but she always orders the horse mackerel tataki bowl. I also had this horse mackerel tataki bowl. ・Horse Mackerel Tataki Bowl The towering horse mackerel tower was an eye-catching bowl. The horse mackerel was fresh and firm, and while it was well-seasoned, you could really taste the umami of the ingredients. Although there was a generous portion of rice, the amount of horse mackerel was just as generous, making for a well-balanced meal that was enjoyed until the very end. The delicious seafood and the warm atmosphere of the restaurant were both comforting. It was a memorable experience from Izu! (Original) 週末、伊豆への小旅行。 友人が伊豆に来ると必ずセットで訪れるという、近くのバナナワニ園と「伊豆の味処 錦」へ足を運びました。 お店は地元の方々にも愛される人気店で、活気のある店内には海鮮丼や一品料理が並び、どれも美味しそうな雰囲気。 友人は海鮮丼も絶賛していましたが、いつも注文するのは 鯵たたき丼。 私もこの鯵たたき丼をいただきました。 ・鯵たたき丼 高くそびえ立つアジタワーが目を引く丼。 鯵は新鮮で身が締まり、しっかりとした味付けながらも素材の旨みをしっかり感じられます。 ご飯はたっぷり入っているものの、アジの量も負けずに多く、最後までバランス良く楽しめました。 海鮮の美味しさとお店の温かい雰囲気にほっこり。 伊豆の思い出になりました！

Quaint little restaurant, we didn’t know what to expect but we were blown away by the amazing tastes of the food. The chef truly loves his food, because this food was the best we have had in all of Japan. Flavor is a priority here!

We are europeana who went to Japan for 2 weeks. This was the best food we tasted in all of Japan during the stay. If you want to try something local made with pure love, this is the place.

(Translated by Google) The famous restaurant where I was going to eat Inatori's famous meat fried rice was closed, so I was driving around wondering what was going on, when I happened to see Nobori, a meat fried rice restaurant, and decided to go inside. The restaurant is small, and the atmosphere is just the way I like it.When I looked at the menu, I saw that there was half-meat fried rice plus ramen, so I ordered that without hesitation, and my companion ordered regular fried rice and gyoza. The meat fried rice tasted like nothing I've ever had before and was so delicious! Even the regular fried rice was delicious! I found this store by chance, but I would like to stop by if I ever come here again. (Original) 稲取名物の肉チャーハンを食べに行こうと思ってた有名店が休みで、どうしたもんかと車で走っていたところ、たまたま肉チャーハンのノボリが眼に留まり、入ってみました。 店は小ぢんまりとした佇まいで、雰囲気は自分好み、さっそくメニューを見ると半肉チャーハンプラスラーメンが有り、自分は迷わずそれを頼み、連れ合いは普通のチャーハンと餃子を頼みました。 肉チャーハンは、いままで食べた事が無い味でとても美味しかった! 普通のチャーハンも凄く美味しかった! たまたま見付けた店だったが、又こちらに寄ることが有れば寄りたいと思う。

(Translated by Google) I stop by here every year when I travel. This is my third time back. I've tried a few places nearby for meat fried rice, but this one is the best ♥ The elderly chef is busy stirring the frying pan. It's a little hot, maybe because the air conditioning isn't working well or because of the heat from the kitchen, but I can bear it for the sake of the meat fried rice. My favorite set is my favorite ramen and half-meat fried rice. (Original) 毎年、旅行の度に寄ってます。 リピ3回目です。 近くで肉チャーハン、何店舗か試しましたが、ここのが一番です♥ 年配の大将が頑張ってフライパン振っています。 冷房は効きが悪いのか、厨房の熱なのか、少し暑いですが、肉チャーの為なら我慢できます。 好きなラーメンと半肉チャーハンのセットがお気に入りです。

(Translated by Google) I ate the famous meat fried rice in Higashiizu Town. The style seems to vary depending on the restaurant, but here, the egg fried rice is topped with stir-fried vegetables such as cabbage and meat in the style of Chinjao loin. It was full of volume and delicious ✨ (Original) 東伊豆町で有名な肉チャーハンを食べました。お店によってスタイルが違うそうですが、ここは卵チャーハンの上にキャベツとお肉のチンジャオロース風の野菜炒めが乗っています。ボリューム満点で美味しかったです✨

(Translated by Google) Meat fried rice can really be called Inatori's soul food! It's so delicious, so delicious that it makes you cry, and it tastes like home 🥹 The spicy onion ramen is also very delicious, and the dumplings are even more delicious. I wish the store will always have a prosperous business and happiness! (Original) 肉炒饭真的称得上是稻取灵魂食物！太好吃了，好吃到流泪，有家的味道🥹 辣葱拉面也特别特别好吃，饺子更是美味，祝小店一直生意兴隆，幸福美满！
