Ito Marine town is much smaller than expected. Nice stopover for lunch, local desserts, souvenirs or relax at the marine promenade. Very affordable Japanese lunch on 2F of Seaside Spa Marina Tenbo Restaurant with quiet, calming views.

Good food service and a spacious onsen with multiple baths of differing temperatures, a sauna and a mineral bath. Combined with a reasonable price, I really don't have any complaints about this place. Everything is booked through digital ticketing machines that don't have an English language option. For the food it's not an issue since there are pictures, and for the bath there's usually somebody around to assist.

We just had a quick stop here on our way back with our tour. Wish we had more time, it's a beautiful place with great shops and snacks. Next time we will stay here longer.

The overall experience is good but the waiting line, in summer, can improve.

Plenty of sea food from fresh mix with special sauces, and dried sea food. Sweets, chips made from fish, seaweed base soup. You can easily spend your money's worth for some natural foods here. This place is accessible by car, bus, or JR train.

For a road station, it is pretty big and a plenty of parking lots. Great access from the main road. Nice view of the harbor. Photogenic spots and many souvenirs sold, public bathrooms just right by the parking lots.

Nice place but smaller than expected. Full of souvenir and food shops. Second floor your a deck to see the marine and some restaurants. Parking lot is huge and free.

Orange Beach was a terrific sandy beach ⛱ I live the palm trees. 🌴🌴There weren't many people when I visited in early April even though it was a hot sunshiny🌞 day. Easy access from the Ito train station 🚉

Just before the beginning of the official summer season (mid July to End of August) there are no amenities, but there are also no crowds. The sand is almost black but very soft, almost like sands in Hawaii. Not gravely at all. The water is crystal clear as well and no waves as it is enclosed in a bay. It is also quite warm and not cold. Only 4 stars as you can find pieces of glass periodically that have not worn down and small pieces of pottery with sharp edges in the sand. Maybe with the clean up before the summer season this is taken care of. Also a McDonalds nearby (10 min walk in the direction of marine town) if that is of interest to you

Ito Orange Beach is the best beach we visited in Izu! At high tide it is deep enough to dive under the water, but it’s very calm thanks to the breakwater. The sand is soft and black, though if your feet are sensitive to small pebbles you may want to bring water shoes. If you want to see fish, I recommend coming in the morning and at high tide if possible. I met many kinds of colourful and curious fish near the breakwater, including a small school of cute squid! I did not see any jellyfish. There are free showers that are well-designed, all functioning as a full shower or as a footwash, and draining sand through a grate onto the beach below. There are toilets and trash cans as well. There are restaurants on the beach with seating, though you can also buy food at the nearby Food Shop Aoki. For a fee, you can rent floaties, access the floating slides, or try a banana boat. There is not much shade, however.

Quiet beach. Even though it is nice, it was too lonely. There is no shade so umbrellas are a must. There are bathrooms and faucet to remove the sand.

September the 2nd and all when away already, summer is way longer In japan. All the beach stands should stay for longer…. Anyway I got a great and quiet day in this beach. Not much to do than relax

Loads of rubbish (trash)! We visited in early October. I would not recommend visiting outside of the swimming season. Even the nearby river is polluted. It felt sad to visit.

Ito Explorer is doing very good job. They are volunteer group and keep the beach clean. They also planted flowers (Hibiscus) at the beach entrance! just WoW! Foreigners and Japanese can join the activities too, follow @ito_explorer on Instagram to know upcoming activities!

Interesting museum! Lots of information about the building, surrounding cities and historical events. Some rooms are a bit repetitive, but overall very nice to walk through.

A rich cultural experience tour for only 200 yen. Need a bit of walk from Ito station but surrounding is serene and pleasant. It has several level and a huge area to explore and discover true Japanese heritage.

Tokaikan is one of those rare places where time genuinely feels like it stopped around 1938. This gorgeous wooden ryokan-turned-museum in downtown Ito was once a high-class inn frequented by Japan’s literary elite (most famously Nobel laureate Yasunari Kawabata 川端康成), and today it’s open to the public for the ridiculously modest entry fee of just 300 yen. As soon as you slip off your shoes and step onto the polished corridors, the magic begins. Every footstep sings — that unmistakable, melodic creak of century-old wood underfoot. The air smells faintly of aged hinoki cypress and tatami, the kind of nostalgic scent you can’t fake. Sunlight filters through the original shoji screens and colored glass windows, bathing the rooms in soft amber light. The furniture, bathtubs, staircases, even the old rotary phones — everything is exactly as the guests left it decades ago. The absolute highlight for me was standing in front of Kawabata’s actual handwritten manuscripts displayed on the second floor. The delicate brush strokes, the casual notes in the margins… even if you can’t read a word of Japanese (like me), the sheer historical weight hits you. There’s also a beautifully preserved large communal bath with stained-glass windows and retro tiles, plus a small garden out back that feels like a scene straight out of a Studio Ghibli film. For less than the price of a coffee, you get to time-travel to the elegant, slightly melancholic world of early 20th-century Japan. If you’re anywhere near the Izu Peninsula, do not miss Tokaikan — it’s easily one of the most atmospheric and underrated cultural spots in the whole country. I could have stayed for hours listening to the building breathe. Highly, highly recommended!

It's a beautiful place to go visit and see, but isn't a 'top of the list' location to visit. If you have other things to do, do them first. The history and building is beautiful, but if you're an English speaker, note there is nothing in English and it's a purely visual tour that will take you about 30 minutes to do. The display rooms get repetitive pretty quickly. There are 4 floors to navigate of steep stairs in slippers as a warning for those who may be unfit or not like heights. My advice would to just go at night time from the opposite side of the river and look at it from there. If you've ever been to a Ryokan before, this looks the same on the inside.

A wonderful must see old ryokan museum. Such a treasure and something you can’t usually experience. The various rooms were so interesting to see and in a beautiful location by the river.

The Tokaikan is a well-preserved former ryokan founded in the early Showa era. Famous master carpenters were commissioned to design each floor, their skills are visible in every single corner of the building—from the wooden crane carving at the entrance to the unique decorations in the guest rooms. The entrance fee is only 200 yen, and for a little extra you can access the onsen baths (on weekends and holidays only). Don't forget to reach the top floor to admire the panoramic view. In addition, there is an exhibition hall displaying the artwork of Kenji Shigeoka, whose sculptures can also be admired throughout the city. Fun fact: The Tokaikan is the set of the fourth volume of Thermae Romae. If you are a fan of the manga/anime, you should definitely visit it!

It's a quite iconic and historically meaningful ryokan indeed and for a mere 200yen admission I would solidly recommend it. You can imagine at the attic and in the guest room, how back when there were no apartment buildings around, this ryokan must be top of the line and very high-end. (careful in winter, cold feet get hurt easily if you trip on just about anywhere here)

It's not bad. It's not big but it is worthy to spend some time. Enjoy the lookout and scenery.

A nice spot to visit in Ito area. There is a cable car to get at the top of a hill with a great view and fancy coffee shop, and few gentle hiking trails with flower gardens. Good for a romantic date or a quiet day with kids.

The main attraction of this park is the lift to the top of the hill which costs only 800 yen round trip. The view from the hill is indeed amazing. There’s a cafe at the top which serves popular yoghurt frape. If the weather allows, you might see the Fuji-san. You can reach the park by bus departing from the Ito train station which costs 480 yen one way.

It is a lovely park to visit, which has fun lifts.

Komuroyama is a beautiful site surrounded by flowers garden and sea view. Plenty of parking area. There is a temple on the top of the mountain where you can check your fortune prediction.

Beautiful place, nice walk up the mountain.

Fantastic views of the ocean, and dinosaur replicas for the kids to play on.

In Izu, I found a pair of very strange Museums. This was the second in a day trip and it lives up to expectations. The Museum is large and full of all manner of strange and uncanny exhibits. Mannequin mutilation, haunted exhibits, strange innuendo. Every stop left me perplexed and curious of what the next horror-esque exhibit will entail. As this is considered an open air exhibit, there was a lot of walking outside between the exhibits, with overgrown encroaching on each turn, adding more to the uncanny environment. Lots of fun!

The greatest attraction I've ever been to. I spent over an hour here and didn't see anybody else. Some areas are explicit and scary, but the relaxed areas also create a sense of dread. Everything is uncanny, it's like visiting the house of a crazy person with too much money who only wants a bigger collection. There is meticulous sorting to the chaos. In one room, a shelf will contain 200 model airplanes, next to a row of furbys, next to a room full of babies. There's a section at the end with a ritual to the devil, and a secret stripper room in collaboration with a local strip club. Thank you so much.

Extremely mouldy, dank and rundown. I was really looking forward to the visit as it has been recommended on a local guide. The whole place just stunk of black mould I just wanted to get out of there instantly. May have been better back in the day when it was taken care of but they must have really let it go. It’s a shame because there are things that I would have liked to stop and look at, albeit quite creepy. Recommend bringing a mask.

This place is probably the most unique place I have ever been. So much weird stuff in here. But I feel like its an important place. They have a lot of things and the way they put it together is interesting. If your in the neighborhood you should make the stop.

this is the creepyest place not in japan, but the whole world! ticket 1200 yen, but you got enough to see.

Weird, crazy, grotesque, historical, esoteric, vaste... It was surprisingly one of the best attractions in the region! Very nice welcome from the manager!

the most weirdest place I’ve ever been in my life. so chaotic and it was like being in a dream. was a fun experience though!

All the staff are very friendly though we don’t speak Japanese. There’s an English menu. Hearing how some without reservation were turned away, we made a reservation via our hotel concierge since we can’t speak Japanese. Is a very small restaurant with less than 8 tables The eel tastes really tender and fresh. Very unlike the one we eat in Singapore.

when the auntie knew i was a foreigner she help me explained the diff between each menu as she saw me try to google between each type and as the food is serve she also help explain on how to properly eaten and the details of each side dishes and spices the chef walk and have a little conversation when i was waiting for the food it was delicious and healing ✨

Very delicious eel! Highly recommend to try both the shiroyaki and kabayaki eel. Also would recommend to make a reservation before coming. We are very lucky to be the last walk in customers.

In the torrentialrain at 5pm,me and my family entered the store but they kick us out with no reason!even though there were empty seats! I've only written reviews of very good restaurants on Google, and this is the first time I've posted disappointing content!

Unagi rice was super !!! They have menu in English version. And the waiter is very patient to teach us how to eat.

Very nice local food, staff is also very kind. Eel is really fresh and juicy. Definitely worth visiting!

There were 8 of us, including two kid under 6. Got seated right away, two tables. had the two pieces Kabayaki set. Rice is free refill. It was very tasty. Staffs were all friendly.

Great dining experience here!

Ban bang lunch good 😌

Ordered the sashimi set. Best sashimi I’ve had in a while & it was at a random family restaurant in Ito City. Seated right away & service was friendly. Menu has pictures so ordering is easy. Water & tea self-service.

(Translated by Google) Used by my family in April 2020. The staff will guide you to your seat. I was seated at a table, but a seat became available soon, and since my 0-year-old daughter was there, she was considerate and let me change her seat. Tea and cold drinks are self-service and are located in the center of the store. I ordered a rice bowl [1,699 yen including tax], a string set meal [1,499 yen including tax], and a children's plate [699 yen including tax]. The price was a little high, but it was delicious. Both my wife and daughter said it was delicious. For payment, you can use payment services such as d Payment or credit cards. I also received a 50 yen discount coupon that can be used until the next day at Izu Junior High School on the 1st floor.

(Translated by Google) Banban Shokudo is located at the back of the second floor of the Ocean Bazaar building at Ito Marine Town Roadside Station. Run by a local dried fish dealer, it is a famous Ito restaurant for its fish. There are 82 seats, including tatami and table seating. I recommend a window seat with a view of the sea. The turnover is fast, and there is also a store inside Lasca at Atami Station. My favorite is Banbanzen (dried horse mackerel and simmered golden-eyed snapper), but this time I ordered the Makanai Donburi. It is a very luxurious meal; start with about half of the sashimi, then stir in a raw egg, and finally add soy sauce, which gradually becomes more delicious, allowing you to enjoy a variety of flavors. You can also eat it on the terrace as a takeaway. (Original) 道の駅伊東マリンタウンのオーシャンバザール棟2F奥にある　ばんばん食堂．市内の干物屋さんが経営しておりお魚に関しては伊東で有名なお店です。座敷席とテーブル席で82席もあります。やはり海が見える窓側の席がお勧めです。回転は早く、熱海駅のラスカ内にもお店があります。本命は　ばんばん善(鯵の干物　金目鯛の煮付)ですが今回は、まかない丼を注文。とても豪勢な造りです、初めはお刺身を食べ半分位で、生卵をかき混ぜ最後にお醬油を入れ食べたら少しずつ美味しくなり、色々な味をたんのう出来ます。テイクアウト風にテラス席でも食べる事も出来ます。

(Translated by Google) There aren't many restaurants with enough parking to meet people by car, so you tend to end up always staying at the same restaurant, but there are some that have a large parking lot and are free! I remembered Marine Town! ! ! ! Moreover, there are many restaurants, so I think I can go here for a while. This time I was wandering around trying to decide where to go and went to "Banban Shokudo"♪ The restaurant's recommendation is the ``Makanai-don,'' which is filled with seafood, the ``Banban Zen,'' which is a value-packed meal that includes sashimi, simmered red sea bream, and dried fish, and the ``Himono Set Meal,'' which is sure to be delicious because it's run by a dried fish store.But for some reason, on this day, I was in the mood for meat...I ate the ``Karaage Set Meal.'' You can change the miso soup to aosa miso soup for an extra 120 yen. I changed it because I love Aosa! There's more seaweed than you can imagine, and it's irresistible for those who love it♪ I'm glad that it comes with a variety of fried chicken set meals and small bowls! The food ran out quickly. It was delicious...Next time I would like to try the sea side menu♪ Information as of 2025.04.23.

I wish I didn’t skip breakfast, as we spend over an hour in line waiting to get in for a bowl of ramen. While the chef takes pride in how he delivers the food, he just takes so long. Taste was good, I wouldn’t say it was great, just good. I’m glad I tried this soba but the long wait doesn’t match the taste.

Really delicious and cheap. They don't speak English, but understand a few words (like pork) and that's how I ordered.

The shio ramen is ok, nothing special. Excellent char-siu and pork belly. My egg was over-cooked. Too expensive at 1,250 yen (1,150 plus 100 for an egg) and the chef is rude - I was told off for looking at my phone, which is none of his business.

Excellent ramen, perfect noodles. The place is not pretty, but the food is very good. Staff is very friendly. Menu is in Japanese only and there are no pictures so work with the the posted pics here to make an order of you don't speak Japanese.

Tasty Ramen and Chasiu

I had an amazing soy sauce based ramen here.

Delicious.

Fresh tasting and delicious sushi. Foreigner friendly

Tiny place in a side street. Sitting by the counter for not more than 12 ppl. Good selection of fish and seafood, price per piece ¥300.

Excellent quality. Have an English menu and take credit cards. Clean and bright place that doesn't feel cramped like others may.

Decent price nice food! Went for lunch and had chirashi Zushi.

Great place for sushi with a friendly staff that was helpful trying to help us with translations. And we got a little present before we left :)

Spent about $60 cad as dinner for two, although we didn't order drinks. The atmosphere was great, and although neither of us spoke Japanese it was fun listening to the store owner tell stories about his life. The food was very fresh, I especially loved the sea urchin, fatty tuna and swordfish.

Amazing. Wanted to spoil ourselves and the quality and amount compared to what you would get in Tokyo is amazing. Just over $100 cad for two meals, three large beers, bottle of their in house sake, and multiple additional orders. English is not their strong house but service and taste is. I now have a place I want to revisit everytime i come to Japan. You can go cheaper but this is a traditional sushi bar where you order a set meal and can pick more after. Look for the octopus outside. I fixed the google maps as it's on the "main" road and not the smaller alley. The uni/urchin and fatty tuna was amazing.

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.

If you’ve just ridden the Mt. Omuro cable car (the tram that takes you to the top of the grassy volcano), turn around and walk literally across the road — that’s where you’ll find Izu Shaboten Zoo. It’s the perfect laid-back half-day activity after the view from the summit. This isn’t one of those massive, exhausting zoos. It’s compact, shady, and genuinely cozy. On the weekday I visited, it felt almost private — hardly any crowds, just the sound of gravel underfoot and the occasional peacock screech. Of course, the undisputed stars are the capybaras. They have a huge outdoor area with a hot-spring bath (yes, the capybaras actually soak in an onsen in winter — adorable doesn’t even begin to cover it). Even in summer they’re ridiculously chill, lounging in the water or munching grass while visitors watch in quiet awe. Other highlights: • Free-roaming peacocks that follow you around like they own the place (one decided to walk with me for a solid ten minutes — best escort ever). • A fantastic walk-through bird zone where flamingos, sacred ibis, ducks, geese, and spoonbills wander right past your feet. No cages, just a big netted area — you really feel like you’ve stepped into their world. • Classic zoo lineup done well: cheeky otters, wallabies, antelopes, donkeys, turkeys, parrots, even a few lazy sloths hanging in the greenhouse section. My only tiny disappointment was that the shoebill wasn’t on display the day I went (apparently he sometimes takes “days off” inside). Next time! Everything feels lovingly maintained, the paths are easy, there are plenty of benches in the shade, and the whole vibe is relaxed and happy. Combine it with the cable car and the cactus greenhouse (the “shaboten” part of the name) next door, and you’ve got yourself a perfect easygoing afternoon on the Izu Plateau.

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.

Very special place, lots of animals to see. Cool interactive feeding opportunities. Capybara and Giraffe feeding was super cool. Be careful though Giraffe bit my hand - my mistake though haha

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

One of the best zoos! You can see the animals up close and it’s so rare to have the chance to feed so many animals. You can buy the food around the park that correspond to the different animals. The new giraffe enclosure is amazing, you can see the giraffes from their height! But the capybaras are always the highlight, no matter how many times we visit ! Try a capybara burger in the restaurant!

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)

This is a wonderful place. Mt Fuji in the backdrop- just stunning

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.

Where else can you ride up a volcano and take in views that feel like they’re straight out of a cartoon? The scenery is stunning, the experience is unique, and the whole place has a surreal, almost storybook quality. Absolutely worth it.

What a cool place! Take the bus from the Izu Train Station and you will be there I. Approx 45 mins. An adult return ticket will cost you 1000 Yen. Board the chair lift and enjoy the fun and the stunning views of the coast line, Mt Fuji and walk around the tip of an ancient volcano. Be early as there wait in line will be a long one.

100% worth doing!! One of the more unique sights I’ve seen, it was easy, well equipped, clean & well staffed. There’s dango for purchase at the top and walking the whole loop took 30ish minutes~ Came on a rainy day, super windy & the cable car would be scary for someone who is scared of heights.

Worth the wait! We waited about two hours, but the view from the top is absolutely spectacular and made every minute worthwhile. Once you're up there, plan for about 30 minutes to take it all in. Highly recommend!

Great place to walk around, only thing I would advise is to bring a UV umbrella, the sun is super hot up there during daytime. There are coin lockers at the bottom, highly recommend storing anything hefty.

A short and pleasant experience. The lift ride is quick, and the 1 km walk around the top offers beautiful views all the way. Great for a short stop.

Well worth it, though the walk around the crater has some very steep sections. It was also very windy at the top and you needed something warm. Fantastic views and a fun chair-lift ride.

Visiting this place in mid-April 2025 was impres with the cherry blossoms in full bloom. The park was a breathtaking canvas of pink and white, a dreamlike atmosphere, felt like stepping into a serene, postcard-perfect world. There were food trucks at the park’s entrance, selling grilled sweet potatoes and traditional Japanese snacks, making the experience even more memorable. This captured the fleeting beauty of the season.

As of 29.3.24, only a few Ito sakura trees started blooming. The weeping sakura and all others were still in buds. The scenery was already charming.

Wonderful park! There are cherry blossom even in late April !

This place, with the cherry in full blossom, is so beautiful even in rainy and cold weather.

Beautifully green this time of year.Nice calm encounter with a volcano.

Beautiful park with a view of mt fuji. Not yet full blossom when i visited but clear skies to snow capped fuji-san

Amazing.. So many sakura tree with Mt. Omuro in the background

A really cute and nice place for if you want to do a short but fun activity! The captions were all Japanese, but seeing the different cats was interesting and the cat petting area is super nice! The staff were also really friendly and the shop was cute as well!

The bad reviews are by people with no common sense and should honestly be ignored entirely. There was no bad smells, couldn't smell any cat urine stink at all. The cats were all very well taken care of, and they weren't drugged, they are merely cats who sleep 14 hours a day like all cats, except these ones have spent years getting used to people so they can ignore you better than most. The staff were kind and ever helped us call a cab when it was over. There was AC. It is exactly what it says on the tin and it's a 5 out of 5 if you know that. It's a history of big cats on the bottom floor told with taxidermy, including recreations of extinct ones. Top floor is a history of cats in media to as much as they could cover in their space, along with some real cats you can pet and relax with. There's no English writing on the exhibits so if you can't read Japanese half of the history will be lost on you. This is a place in Japan so that is not a negative. Most of all I had fun, but if you can't see yourself having fun with what I said above, then you won't. Simple as that.

Nice visit for about an hour. Only takes cash for entrance fee. 1st floor focuses on cats around the world with many taxidermy animals, skeletons and fossils. Very interesting. 2nd floor displays cat themed toys from around the world. There are also about 20 cats to look at and some you could pet. My teenage daughter loved it and didn’t want to leave.

Do not ever support this place. They keep cats in cages for the entirety of their lives. How cruel is that??? Why would anyone want this? As a cat rescuer who fosters and volunteers with cats, these cats look miserable. This is absolutely barbaric. Teach your children kindness and do not come here.

Very nice museum full of cats and tigers display They display many kind of ancients animals We can learn a lot education about them They also have cute cats museum to display many cats dollhouse and so many cute cats to play with I’m can enjoy touching cats Have cat souvenir shop and have comfortable near parking I recommend family and children Cats lover should come 😍🥰🐶🐱🐭🐹🐰🐼🐨🐯🐅🐆🐈🐈🐈🌈

Impressive collection of stuffed animals downstairs and a wide selection of cat artefacts. The live cats upstairs are no doubt cared for but they have limited living space and seems unnatural.

Interesting museum, lots of history of big cats dating back thousands of years which is very cool! You also get to enjoy spending some time with some little cats upstairs! Nice thing to do on a rainy day.

We went on an unusual snowy night (!) in March. We made reservations and had a special dietary request and the chef called to check on things and make sure the meal was special. The food was great and the pesto alla Genovese was made with local turnip greens and turnips, cooked al dente and just lovely all around. I recommend reservations on weekend nights, the pork main, and the house red. All wonderful.

We went on a Saturday, and they only had a “set menu.” Not only was the food incredible, the husband and wife who ran the place were incredibly kind and accommodating. They created a unique off the menu set just for my girlfriend, who had dietary restrictions. Husband also spoke very good English, which was a surprise in such a small town! They also take credit card which was also very convenient! Great spot for a date night.

(Translated by Google) Visited in 2025GW I visited on the first day of a 2 night trip to Izu Kogen and 2 nights to Shimoda. There are many options for dinner in Izu Kogen, but I compared them in advance and made reservations before visiting. The impression is that it is an elegant Italian restaurant with a hint of French taste. Not to mention the taste! The atmosphere inside the restaurant is cozy and the owner/chef is very friendly and nice. (Original) 2025GWに訪問 伊豆高原2泊〜下田2泊の旅の初日に伺いました 伊豆高原でのディナーの選択肢は色々とありますが事前に色々と比較させていただき予約しての訪問となりました どこかフレンチのテイストも感じられる上品なイタリアンという印象 お味はもちろん！ 店内の雰囲気も居心地よくてオーナーシェフもとてもフレンドリーで素敵なお店です

(Translated by Google) We made a reservation for dinner on the weekend (although it turned out that a reservation wasn't necessary as it wasn't peak season). Even when we made reservations in advance via email, the response was very quick, and the chef himself came to greet us during the meal, which left a very good impression. The dishes themselves were all elaborately prepared and very delicious. In particular, the lamb main dish was perfect in terms of seasoning, doneness, and volume. (Original) 週末のディナーで予約して伺いました（結果的には繁忙期ではないとのことで予約は必ずしも必要ではなかったようですが）。 メールで事前にメニューの予約などやり取りをしても大変レスが早く、食事中もシェフ自ら挨拶に伺って頂き、大変好印象です。 肝心のお料理もどれも手の込んだ非常においしい料理でした。 特に、メインのラム料理は味付け・焼き加減・ボリューム、すべて満点でした。

(Translated by Google) We visited yesterday for our anniversary trip. 😌 We had the 4,950 yen course and drink! (Appetizer + Pasta + Main + Dessert course; some menu items cost extra). We had a 6:30 PM reservation, and there was only one other group there. 😌 In conclusion, we were very satisfied and would definitely return! 🫶🏻💖 First of all, the chef himself came to greet us, which I thought was very kind. ✨ The food was absolutely delicious. The peach-based non-alcoholic cocktail "Sakura NA" was absolutely delicious! The appetizer plate had about 10 different dishes! (All of them were delicious.) The most impressive dish was the chilled pumpkin soup, which was fluffy and melted in your mouth! It was a new discovery for me. 🎃 For pasta, I ordered "Carbonara"! It was penne-style instead of noodles! The bacon and sauce were a perfect match, and I regret not ordering double the portion. 😂 For the main course, I had "Chicken Thigh with Balsamic Sauce"! The meat was crispy and delicious, and the portion was generous, so I was very satisfied! ✨💞Salad and condiments were also served on the same plate! Since it was our anniversary trip, we had a plate of dessert. 😌 (We also had tea). The chef and his wife even applauded us in celebration, which made us very happy! ✨😊 The chef was so kind, asking us if we were traveling and wishing us a wonderful trip as we left. 🙌🏻✨ My boyfriend proposed to me on this trip, making it an especially memorable one. I'm so happy to have found such a heartwarming restaurant at such a special time. 🍽️💖 I'll definitely be back! 😌!

(Translated by Google) I was wondering whether to eat at the hotel, but then I saw a restaurant nearby with a nice atmosphere, so I went there. I wanted to eat food made with ingredients from Izu, so I was right to choose this place! There were several types of pasta and main dishes, and they all looked delicious, so I had a hard time choosing. I chose pasta🌽 because it was a taste I didn't see much elsewhere, but the corn and prosciutto went well together and was delicious. I was satisfied with both the amount and the taste✨ When other guests are there, there are some gaps between meals, but personally I was glad that I could eat slowly. I enjoyed my birthday celebration meal in a calm atmosphere. I recommend it for special occasions. (Original) ホテルで食事をするか悩んでいたところ、ちょうど近くに素敵な雰囲気のレストランを拝見したので、お伺いしました。せっかくなら伊豆の食材を使った料理を食べたいなぁと思っていたので、こちらを選んで正解でした！ パスタやメインディッシュは数種類あり、どれも美味しそうで迷いました。他ではあまり見かけない味だったので🌽のパスタにしましたが、トウモロコシと生ハムの相性がよく、美味しかったです。量や味ともに満足でした✨ 他のお客さんもいらっしゃると少し食事の提供に間隔が空きますが、個人的にはゆっくり食事をすることができてよかったです。 落ち着いた雰囲気で誕生日のお祝いの食事を楽しめました。特別な日にオススメです。

(Translated by Google) Located in a quiet area of ​​the villa district, the restaurant had a nice atmosphere. The food was generally delicious, and the appetizers in particular were very varied and tasty. Since it's Izu, I think it would have been more enjoyable if they'd offered more seafood dishes like carpaccio. (Original) 別荘街の落ち着いた場所にあり、 雰囲気の良いお店でした。 料理に関しては全般的に美味しく、特に前菜が種類が多く美味しかったです。伊豆なのでカルパッチョなどの海鮮物をもう少し増やしていただけると、より楽しめるような気がしました。

Great woodfire pizzas that are made fresh to order! Free parking out the front but only about 3 car spaces.

I was honestly surprised by how good the pizza was here. I didn’t expect much at first, having pizza in Japan, and in such a small town, I wasn’t sure what to expect. But I was really happy with my choice. I ordered the Rucola e Capricciosa, and it was absolutely delicious. The ham was perfectly selected, and the cheese had a very rich flavor and gave the pizza a wonderful depth. You could really taste that it was made with care and good-quality ingredients. The ginger drink I had with it was quite strong, but I loved it. Overall I left very satisfied. A lovely, well-made pizza that exceeded my expectations, especially in such a small town.

Best Italian food we’ve had in Japan! Cozy little restaurant with friendly service and bright atmosphere. We had the swordfish tomato sauce linguine, green peas and sausage pasta, and margarita pizza. Each dish came with a green salad and a flan type custard. Each meal was ¥1200. Arrived around 12:30 and waited about 20 minutes for a seat. Only 18 seats total inside the restaurant. Would definitely go there again.

We discovered this place casually and we enjoyed very much! I’m Italian and I can say I loved the pasta and the bruschetta! Bravo!

Quaint, little Italian restaurant with quite a variety of choices. My family and I ordered 3 pasta dishes and 1 pizza, which was absolutely delicious! Even my 1 year old was out eating us! We left fully satisfied. We actually made it back to our hotel without passing out from a food coma! Attentive waitress and not long of a wait for dishes. Excellent!

This is a nice small place hidden in the wood of Izu Kogen, the menu it’s small and simple with no main dishes, but the food is nice and the atmosphere it’s really comfortable . I think it’s a place that you should give a try if you pass by this area.

Very good food and the owner is very friendly

This is the most distinctive sashimi I've had in Japan. Highly recommended! I'll definitely come back next time! Also, if you travel with a dog, this restaurant is very friendly. They provide a special room for people traveling with dogs. It's a pity I didn't bring a dog along. Otherwise, I could have enjoyed a meal with pets.

I visited this sushi restaurant and ordered the 富士山サーモンにぎり (Fuji-san Salmon Nigiri, 2 pieces) and the 鮪屋定食 (Maguro Set Meal). It was an excellent experience overall. I tried several kinds and cuts of tuna, each with different textures and fat content, and every piece was incredibly fresh and flavorful. The variety on the menu was impressive, almost overwhelming in a good way and it made choosing quite difficult. As a tuna lover, the Maguro set was the perfect choice. I’ve rarely had tuna this good; every bite was a pleasure. The highlight for me, though, was the salmon. It had a wonderful texture and a rich, deep flavor. Together with the rice, it created a perfectly balanced bite, absolutely worth trying. The service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was beautiful, a traditional Japanese setting with tatami mats and low tables, creating a calm and authentic dining experience. Overall, a delicious and satisfying meal with great fish, warm service, and a lovely traditional ambiance.

This place isn't that great. The food was mediocre as it was slightly too salty. Although the sashimi was not bad, it was not worth the price in my opinion. I think that its standards have diminished due to this place being a tourist spot over the year. Actual Score Overall: 2.6/5 Thoughts: It's not a bad place if you wish for an easy lunch near the area, but I would recommend you try another restaurant due to its price point being too expensive for its quality.

Absolutely amazing experience at Honke Maguroya (本家鮪屋) in Izu! I had the fresh strawberry juice, kinmedai set meal (stewed alfonsino), 7-kind sashimi platter, grilled tuna rib, and grilled tuna cheek. Everything was delicious — especially the tuna rib, rich and flavorful. Highly recommend.

We enjoyed our food very much. However the service really doesn’t feel like it was in Japan. A large tour group was having a meal, and their children were even jumping around on the tatami mats — it was awful.

Until now, I had never thought that I had eaten delicious tuna while eating tuna, but this store was really delicious. The clerks were also very kind, so it was nice.

Kinmedai (golden eye snapper) was the specialty in Ito, so that was all we had and it didn’t disappoint. Sushi was so fresh we had a second serving. Its red skin didn’t alter the taste nor the texture. Its flesh was umami with a hint of natural smokiness. Even when simmered, its flesh retained these characteristics. The broth was light and rounded up this dish very nicely. Freshly grated wasabi (DIY) added the finishing touch. Warm and hospitable service by a Nepalese gentleman (who spoke English).

Nice amusement park to explore with kids. Lots of rides available. Trampoline and Zip line available. Evening light shows and illumination is nice. Dinosaurs world is fun to explore.

late Dec-2022 Thanks for many prior reviews. Big help. Parking is free for Illumination hours. Parking lot looks big too. You’re supposed to retrieve paper ticket at ticket counter by showing the e-mail sent to you when you buy ticket online. Rebate is available online. Many fun attractions, separate charge - cycling, cart, balloon, flying chair and children's playground (FOC) and many others. Restaurants choices and food stalls are available too. Chairs, swings and benches are available here and there. Lavatories are located near restaurants area and entrance. The park is compact but the walk is very entertaining. Very much recommended. Even children will have lots of fun from day time. Entrance and exit is through the same wicket. Even visiting solo is fun.

We came because it’s part of a package with our hotel reservation, but to our surprise, almost every attraction costs extra on top of the admission fee. There is a small free area but not much. Admission is about $60 for 4 people so you basically get into the park and walk around and that’s about it. Parking is $10. Each attraction costs anywhere between 400 yen to 1400 yen per person. I just think this is silly, then why even charge admission? At these for Fuji-Q the admission is free and you pay for each attraction or get a day pass. Totally not worth it.

We have been there on a Golden week this year with our kids and found it very attractive and amazing. The part has lots of both paid and free of charge attractions for everyone even for adults. The food area also has enough shops where you can eat taste food and of course desserts. Very recommended for families with kids and couples as well. Not so far from Tokyo, about 2 hours drive by car.

Great for ages 3-7. Most of the more interesting rides you will need to pay for ( didn't realize this ) they offer a discounted prepaid card that helps a little with the cost. Most rides were a little short and underwhelming. Some of the rides/games weren't in the best working order (VR and Lazer Bots). I was a little disappointed the go carts where only 1 lap.

Wonderful park for children and family In the midst of the valley, the atmosphere is natural. Cool weather There are rides Attraction for children and families. Has a wide area It looks simple and beautiful. Good for bringing the dog beyond to play

Very good for younger kids. But the zip line is only for kids over 30kg. You have to pay for all rides plus entry fee. There are a couple of restaurants in inside for lunch too.

a beautiful, quiet and peaceful shrine for pets. i had fun looking at the many handdrawn tablets for people’s pets and got a summer edition goshuin!

Very beautiful and you have to step on 60 stones for good luck

This shrine is you could visit with your dogs and Ema is the shape of dog.

(Translated by Google) November 2020: Who knew there was a shrine that allowed pets? ^_^ I bought a pet charm and they purified it for me. On the way back, the path to the parking lot looked like a promenade, and the atmosphere felt a little different. (Original) 2020、11月　ペットOKの神社があるなんて^_^ ペットのお守り買ったらお祓いしてくれました。 帰りは駐車場までが遊歩道？みたくなっていて少し空気が違う感じがしました。

(Translated by Google) Jingi Taisha Shrine, Ito City It feels like a place where traditional shrine charm coexists with a modern atmosphere. It's a rare shrine, as it enshrines all eight million gods and is said to grant various blessings. The grounds are home to around 60 paving stones called lucky stones, each inscribed with hieroglyphics containing prayers. It's said that finding and stepping on one will grant you blessings. There are also many other photogenic spots scattered throughout, making it a fun place for young people as well. Free parking is available, making it a convenient place to stop by. (Visited in April 2024) (Original) 伊東市 神祇大社（じんぎたいしゃ） 伝統的な神社の趣きと、現代的な雰囲気が共存しているように感じます。八百万の神様すべてをまつっていて、いろいろな御利益を得られるとのことで、珍しい神社です。 境内には縁起石という御祈祷を込めた象形文字が刻まれた敷石が60箇所ほどあり、それを探して踏むと御利益があるそうです。 そのほかにもいわゆる写真映えするスポットがあちこちにあって、若い人たちでも楽しめると思います。 無料駐車場もあり、気軽に立ち寄ることができました （2024年4月訪問）

(Translated by Google) It was my first time visiting, and the water basin for pets was very cute. The entrance and exit to the parking lot is a little hard to find, so be careful if you're using a navigation system. It's not a very busy road, so if you turn on your blinker, slow down, and check, you should be fine. (Original) 初めての参拝でした、ペット用の手水社がとても可愛かったです。 駐車場の出入り口が少し分かりずらいのでナビで行く際は気をつけて下さい、それほどクルマ通りが激しい道では無いのでウインカーを出しつつ速度を落として確認すれば大丈夫だと思います。

Very peaceful and a must stop as a pet owner.

It's an amazing collection of weird things boys and girls would find interesting. The name is not a lie. Staff was also very friendly, as they called us a cab when we were done. The only real downside I can think of is the air conditioning isn't great, but it's there. I'm not gonna knock off a star for that though. It's super interesting to just spend an hour wondering around. I dont regret it at all. Make sure you go into the haunted house! It's a good kind of cheese.

It felt less like a museum and more like a rich man's private collection. Still, many of the items on display were very interesting. My main issue was it was a little frightening and may not be suited for young children. There were parts of the attraction I was scared to go to alone, so visit with someone else if you are easily frightened like me. It was also incredibly dusty.

It really is difficult to detail the contents of a museum as it’ so hug packed with random stuff to a recycle shop or collectors bedroom! There is very little in the way of categorisation and many of the items have seemingly just been scattered throughout the building which really could do with a clean! This place used to be called the Penguin Museum which may explain the giant exhibit of the animal out the front. The collection relates to Japanese and Western pop culture including retro vinyl records, a Godzilla collection, Marilyn Monroe dolls, old-style arcade games, clothing, mannequins, masks, flags, posters, playing cards, costumes, wigs, S&M collectables, toys through the ages, figurines galore and all manner of other bizarre oddities and artefacts.

Really such a great experience. So weird in the best ways. Just go, enjoy. Embrace the weird. We all loved it, fantastic side quest.

Please stop here it’s genuinely one of the strangest and most amusing places I have ever been. Do not miss the haunted house ou the back

Wow! Was like dream. If you like collectables and obbities and japanese horror. Go! 10/10

So odd so cool so many crazy cool things had a great time

10 minute walk from ito station, the bridge held a fun river race. Family oriented activity with refreshing water dips once the boat flipped over. Ito is calm and clean. The orange beach was refreshing too.

Safe and easy to get to. Better to enjoy the coastal walk rather than driving straight there, if you have time. This is a popular attraction so you may need to wait at times as people take photos. The water here is very clear.

It's a cool bridge but the great thing about it is that it's in such a beautiful spot. The views along the coast are awesome. And the hike to it is not difficult and only took about 20 minutes.

very scenic and beautiful! wheel chair friendly too! if you can manage to go down to the rocks, i recommend it!

Very pretty, encourage you to walk the rest of the trail too. Overall 5 star but the bridge alone is maybe a little overrated. Hold your hat it can be windy 😂

¥500 for Parking, delicious ice cream Great view, could walk a circle, or spend 30 min is enough for taking photos

Better than I expected. The surrounding area is beautiful, and walking across the bridge and exploring the trails is a lot of fun.

From the bridge to Ed of cliff, it is a sight to see. Be very careful especially for elder and children. One mistake can be life so go as much as you can without pushing the boundaries of your limit. It is an amazing view and a sight you do not want to miss.

This place was gorgeous. From the train station it was about 30-35 minute walk to the start point of the hike. The hike wasn’t too bad, it was short and easy. Probably like 20-25 minutes to the bridge. Depending on how fast you walk. But overall it was beautiful and would definitely go back.

Fabulous scenery and a wonderful place to spend an hour or three. Parking is fixed at 500 yen and goes to preserve the site. Be careful around the rocks, at the lighthouse there are unprotected areas, keep an eye on your kids. Well worth the visit! Winds here can be brutal...

Great walk, about 1 h from the the NY lamp museum. Beautil trail and the cliffs are amazing. Easy with 2 young kids (6 and 8)

A lot of tourists on a Sunday - it would be magical if you came on an early time where no one is around. Still cool to see & they sell shaved ice and ice cream here.

Jogasaki Coast is a beautiful and peaceful place to visit! The trail from the New York Lamp Museum to the suspension bridge is especially scenic and enjoyable. 🌊 The views of the coastline and ocean are stunning — I’d definitely recommend going on a sunny day to see the bright blue sea at its best. Perfect spot for a relaxing walk and great photos! 📸

Wear comfortable shoes. Go early in the morning or around dusk to catch some great sun photos

Reasonable pricing for more fresh vegetables against supermarket, however very limited selections depending on timing…especially in the afternoon.

A good place to buy local farm produce. I got homemade jam, local grown tea, peanuts and fruit here. The price is quite reasonable.

Some good produce available but limited options.

Ok place for vegetables shopping

This building was fisherman's shack in old days and they made into a restaurant and offers local fresh fish. The service was outstanding and food was excellent

Food is fresh & delicious, slightly salty for the steam fish. We presented our parking ticket & restaurant deduct the fee from the bill. It's an alternative parking to Jogasaki parking lot.

Authentic restaurant with perfect food!!! As a chef can tell you, perfect place. Order a sea bass set “konmedai” , you will remember it for the rest of your life.

This restaurant is placed beautifully next to the coast. With plenty of menu options, the fish was fresh and delicious. It does get busy around normal lunch hours, but there is a lot of seating.

Nice location, interior and good service. Portion size was good and wasabi was delicious. Fresh sashimi too, nice place to get lunch after visiting the Jogasaki Coast. You have to pay ¥500 parking but if you give the receipt to the restaurant they will return the ¥500

After a short hike along the Jogasaki cliffs, it feels good to sit down on the tatami at this very old restaurant to eat some good fish from Shimoda. Prices are a bit high (1700 to 2300¥ for a fish teishoku).

Great option for a late seafood lunch after Jogasaki hiking! Lunch sets are around 1950jpy, so it's a bit pricey but thought the braised sea bream (first set on the menu) was quite tasty and portions were generous. 25min walk from Jogasaki-kaigen station but they have call-taxi numbers at the desk so you can call one (attaching photo of numbers, you can call any of first 3). They could pick me up in 10min.

An old gentleman was working at the counter to serve us sushi rolls. He was incredibly quick with our orders: they came back almost instantly :). Sure at the time there was almost nobody but us in the restaurant. The sushi rolls were fine, but we didn't like the swordfish ones that much. We had a party of 4 and we spent ¥11,100. Cash only.

The sushi chef looks so cool and nice! They provided an English menu for us!! The fish was so fresh and yummy! Highly recommend this place! We finished 20 plates and the price is reasonable!

Good quality as a lot of the fish/sashimi are local produce. The arajiru was surprisingly delicious for the price. The pricing is also competitive and the service is fast. I would definitely visit again if another opportunity comes by.

We really enjoyed our diner! Staff were friendly, trying some few French words as welcoming, translating some Japanese fish names to English when they read on our face we tried to understand what we’ve just eaten. Vibes were nice, sushis amazing (many different kind of fishes…) Thank you for this moment 🐟

Did takeout during the pandemic and the quality of the sushi was really good, Izu-quality freshness. Took 20 mins or so but worth the wait! They wrote the name of the fish (in Japanese) on the takeout dish so we would know what was what. Even came with powdered matcha!

Good sushi but I felt it was a little expensive. The parking area is small so avoid busy hours.

Some of the best sushi I've had in Japan. Conveyor belt style with plates 3-500 yen for two pieces. All of the fish I had was fantastic - normally there are a few hits and a few misses, but everything was great! Don't speak much English but they have an English menu and are friendly. Highly recommend

The staff is not friendly. The place is not that clean. We order napoliten delfino and tomato sauce spaghetti. Well it doesn't taste nice. It is expensive too. If you have other options you would better go to other place to eat.

Actually, it's more like 2-3 stars. The food is ok, but especially the drinks are way too expensive (570 yen for a -warm- coca cola). So, not really recommended.

Mom and pop pasta shop. Very homy feeling interior. They have their own parking out front. Cash only.

Restaurant does not do take away as indicated. Told, “Very difficult.”

Not bad, but pizza is far from real pizza.

Stunning seaview n rocks

(Translated by Google) Never again! Go to Purucino instead! Even if the pasta tastes good, I’ll never go back. We all had the worst experience ever because of that one lady with mad attitude who just doesn’t wanna make you happy. I understand why it has a 3.6 rating with so many reviews. I will never go again. It's the height of bad feeling. This is the first time I've written such a bad review, but it's a restaurant that is run by a woman who is really arrogant and scary, and it doesn't turn around at all. It's full of rules on posters, and the restaurant is not relaxing at all, and with this attitude, it's easy to see why only tourists come to this restaurant. I've never heard good rumors from locals. I told the children not to talk loudly, but there was also a poster saying to talk quietly, and I was banging my spoon and fork all the time, so I couldn't enjoy it at all. I definitely don't recommend it. I myself come from a customer service background, so it's annoying to see people like this who don't have the capacity working in the customer service industry. (Original) Never again! Go to Purucino instead! Even if the pasta tastes good, I’ll never go back.

I recently moved to the area. I’ve had several hamburger steaks or Hamburg as it’s called here as I’ve learned my way around. This place was heads and shoulders above the others. It’s clean, elegant and has a nice view of a Japanese garden styled courtyard from the counter. The service is great. There were a few people when I came on a weekday and two were just leaving as I sat down so I was the only one at the counter. It’s Teppanyaki style which means the chef cooks your food right in front of you on the grill. He was cheerful and friendly. It was a set meal with rice, miso Soup, a salad and choice of drink. I had iced coffee. I have a pretty low budget, so I only spent about ¥2000 for everything including tax. If you’re new to Japan, and on a low budget a place like this is great to enjoy the Japanese hospitality which is world famous and get a good meal for a reasonable price. I’m from the USA and you would never get anything freshly cooked this kind of personal service there for Anywhere near this price. The menu for lunch ranges from ¥1600 to about 10 ¥20,000 which is a little less than $200. I’m pretty sure the dinner menu is higher as to be expected. But that’s high quality steak with all the extras. I went to Cowboys nearby in Kawana, and the price was about the same but the atmosphere was worn out 40 years old without an update and the food wasn’t as good. This place would be a nice romantic dinner spot too. I highly recommend it.

Very good!

I got like a couples course was excellent was like a 5 course meal all very great 👍 got the lobster and rhe wagyu fillet

I like this old fashioned Teppanyaki stake house especially Hamburger steak on lunch menu! The beef meat is not much minced and it remains crunchy !

Good food, nice atmosphere with an appropriate price range. Only downside without a car it is fairly far from the station

Great place for lunch set menus from 7000yen but the dinner is little over priced

Food is delicious and service is warm and elegant.

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.

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 custom stuffed toy.

The Izu Teddy Bear Museum is easily accessible, with no waiting time since you can buy tickets on-site for just 1,400 yen per adult. It’s an affordable and fun stop if you're in the area, featuring a variety of bears in sizes ranging from mini to large. There’s also a small bear shop and a cafeteria, though we only visited the museum and picked up some cards and a mini plush toy as souvenirs. Parking is free and access is simple. You can pay with MasterCard or Visa, but having cash on hand can be helpful. Google Translate is useful for purchasing tickets, and Google Maps can guide you to nearby attractions. Definitely worth a visit!

The Music Box Museum will take you back in time. This museum features some of the oldest music boxes dating back to 1800's.The music boxes are a collection from all over the world including Germany, Switzerland, America, & Japan. I really loved the music box that included the accordion.

Loved it! Small collection but they have musical performance every hour that runs for 30 min and you get to hear the old instruments come to life. The museum shop is also nice. They sell high end music boxes.

Your choice of western artwork to display is very questionable.

Nice place to visit for very old music box

(Translated by Google) Scheduled to close on September 18th (Monday/Holiday). I didn't know that music boxes had healing frequencies 😃 A music box museum where adults can have fun and get hooked🎶 Please come and visit us. These are extremely valuable and rare items❗️ I want to go again! ️ Thankfully, it's free for Ito residents ✨ (ID required) #musicbox #Ito City #Izu #Izu Peninsula #Ito Onsen #Shizuoka Prefecture #izu #Izu Highlands (Original) 9月18日(月・祝)閉館予定です。 オルゴールには癒しの周波数があるなんて知りませんでした😃 大人が楽しく夢中になるオルゴール館🎶 是非ゼヒ皆さん足をお運びください。 物凄く貴重な珍しい物ばかりです❗️ また行きたいです‼️ 有り難いことに「伊東市民無料」です✨(要身分証) #musicbox #伊東市 #伊豆 #伊豆半島 #伊東温泉 #静岡県 #izu #伊豆高原

(Translated by Google) An old and valuable music box will be played for about 30 minutes every hour! The performance varies depending on the performance, so you can enjoy as much as you want for the price. The huge music box made for the large hall is so impressive that it is a must-see!

We also have homemade music boxes and souvenir music boxes. (Original) オルゴール館です。一定時間毎に演奏会もやっています。思ったより音がよく気持ちよさとノスタルジーな感情になります。 自作オルゴールおみあげオルゴールもあります。

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

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.

A slow paced and relaxing place to visit after hiking the Jogasaki Coast trail, especially on a hot summer day. There is additionally a beautiful botanical garden and a cafe with a gorgeous view of the sea. The venue has made the various adjustments to accommodate visitors despite COVID19.

Beautiful showcase of meticulous had crafts of ivory, stone, wood, silk and stone.

I visited in 1995, and was amazed at this collection of incredible art. I am looking forward to planning a return trip to share with my family. Thank you for preserving these works.

English translation of Japanese text ,not making sense .. Was very lucky to have Japanese and Chinese speaking friend to explain

(Translated by Google) This is a museum that displays sculptures collected by the owners, Yoshimitsu and Shigeko Yamamoto, over the course of their many years of exchange with China. The exhibits include masterpieces that are considered cultural assets, and collections of this magnitude are rare even in China and Taiwan. In particular, works made from ivory are prohibited from international trade under the Washington Convention, so it is unlikely that works as large as the ones on display here will ever be created again. It is a little disappointing that the works are displayed without any context and do not deepen your understanding of Chinese decorative sculpture, but it is still enjoyable just to appreciate the superb craftsmanship. (Original) オーナーの山元芳光・しげ子夫妻が、長年にわたる中国との交流の過程で蒐集した彫刻作品を展示する美術館です。展示品には文化財クラスとされる逸品もふくまれているそうで、中国・台湾においてもこれほどのコレクションは滅多にないそうです。とりわけ象牙を素材とした作品はワシントン条約によって国際取引が禁止されているので、ここに展示されている大作ほどのものが新たに作られることはないでしょう。 文脈なく作品が展示されているだけで中国の装飾彫刻についての理解が深まらないのはいささか残念なものの、超絶の技巧を堪能するだけでも十分に楽しめます。

(Translated by Google) There is a discount coupon on the website, but it seems that the discount amount differs between showing the smartphone screen and printing it out. I recommend printing it out. The exhibits are gorgeous, impressive, and detailed! Since I went to the National Palace Museum in Taiwan, I have always been interested in Jewel Pier, so this was my long-awaited visit. I entered the museum 30 minutes before closing, but the staff member said, "It's okay to extend," so I was able to view it for about an hour. The exhibits were more substantial than I expected, so I felt very sorry to have to extend my time, and I don't think it's a service I can always expect, but I was very grateful for the offer. It seems that you can read the explanation of the works with a QR code, so I would like to stay longer next time. I was amazed by the superb craftsmanship of the sculptures, and since the works have a story, I personally felt that if I wanted to view them in detail, I wouldn't get bored even if I watched them for 2-3 hours. (Original) ホームページに割引券がありますが、スマホ画面提示と出力では割引額に差があるようです。出力がお勧めです。 展示内容は、豪華・圧巻・細密❣️ 台湾故宮博物院に行って以降、ジュエルピアもずっと興味があったので、今回、念願の往訪です。 閉館30分前の入館でしたが、職員の方が「延長しても構わない」と言って下さり、約1時間鑑賞する事ができました。 展示内容が想像以上に充実していたので、延長は大変申し訳なく、いつも期待できるサービスとは思っていませんが、お申し出がとても有り難かったです。 QRコードで作品の説明も読めるようなので、次回はもっと長く滞在したいです。 彫刻の超絶技巧に驚かされるし、作品にストーリー性があるので、細部まで鑑賞するなら、個人的には2〜3時間観ても飽きないと感じました。

(Translated by Google) This was my first visit. As I had hurt my knee, I was able to borrow a wheelchair to tour the museum. Photography was permitted inside the museum, so I took photos in several places. All of the intricate ivory carvings, with details that will take your breath away, are worth seeing. As it was a weekday and there were not many visitors, I was able to take my time looking around. This is a recommended spot for anyone interested in sculptures and other art. (Original) 初めて訪問いたしました。 膝を痛めていたので、車椅子をお借りして見学させて頂きました。 館内は撮影許可との事で、何箇所か撮影させて頂きました。 どれも、ため息の出る程の細部にまで渡る、細やかな象牙の彫刻は、一見の価値があります。 平日で来客も少なかったので、ゆっくりと見学出来ました。 彫刻等の美術にご興味がある方には、お勧めのスポットです。

(Translated by Google) It's a wonderful collection. There are many ivory pieces that are in the National Palace Museum in Taiwan. It's a miracle that this can be seen in Japan. I want more people to know about it and see it. It was empty on the day we went, so we had the place to ourselves, but it's a great place that you can take a tour of on a tour bus. They also sell souvenirs on the way back. (Original) 素晴らしいコレクションです。台湾の故宮博物館にある象牙の作品が何個もあります。日本でこれが見られるのは奇跡です。もっと多くの人に知ってほしいですし、見てほしいです。私たちの行った日は空いていたので貸し切り状態でしたが、観光バスでも案内してもらえるいいところだと思います。帰りにお土産なども売っていますよ。

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.

An exceptionally interesting menu. But just as important, a comfortable variety of seating. Perfect to relax before or after a walk around the picturesque lake. Dog friendly. Rin Rin gives a huge thumbs up. 🐶

Great cafe with a nice selection of food such as a variety of mazesoba, poke-like bowls and dessert. Reasonably priced too! Parking was 200yen/60mins.

Beautiful location! Coffee wasn’t bad. Do not recommend morning set unless you are looking for standard bread from the supermarket and what looks and tastes like premade frozen egg omelet. They had some other bread on the shelf that looks more appetizing.

Went for a paddle around the lake and had a coffee afterwards. A nice serene lake with surrounding greenery. Well worth a visit. It wasn't busy when we were there in early June.

Beautiful spot for a morning coffee. We didn’t try any of the food but the coffee and service were great.

Nice place to go down to after driving Izu skyline near Hiekawa exit.

Beautiful spot, nice food!

Super big portion seafood bowl! Love it. And the seafood is super fresh!

I loved the food. It has very delicious miso soup and fresh fish. Very good service and nice staff. Highly recommend

This place was recommended to me by a friend who is a local in the area. As I was visiting I really wanted to enjoy some good beer! I ordered the Red beer and the Black beer! Both were delicious for locally brewed beer! Really good seafood and excellent beer at reasonable prices. I was very satisfied! I'll definitely come here again!

The sashimi in the bowl are chewy, bland, some are dry while some are icy, the shrimp is a bit slimy. Would not recommend.

Good beers, foods are relatively expensive but with high quality

I had udon hotpot. Great deal for a touristy place. Their craft beer was great as well.

Five Izu-Kogen CBs (kölsh, alt, stout, Premium and liquor with local citrus) and a seasonal Weizen are available. Weizen is excellent with rich aroma. Stout is  Russian-style light. Foods are mainly from the ocean but fried chicken and potato are also on the menu. Reasonable prices. Five-minute walk from the terminal and direct drive access from the main route. Facilities are not new but spacious. No hidden charge.

Nice seafood. Only Japanese menu and kind service. High value at the low price

delicious food with affordable price! No English menu. But, there are pictures.

fresh seafood with good price, recommend.

Best restaurant I've been to in Japan. Could make a grown man cry.

It was good, decent, feel it’s a little overrated.

(Translated by Google) I was looking for a place to eat simmered golden-eyed snapper and finally found this place. I went around 1pm on a weekday during the Obon holidays, but as expected, they couldn't get me in right away, so I wrote my name down and was able to get in about 20 minutes later. My husband and I ordered a set meal of simmered yellowtail collar and sashimi, a set meal of simmered golden-eyed snapper and sashimi, and a single serving of rockfish tempura. Everything was delicious, but the simmered dish was especially amazing! Refills of rice are free, so we ate more and more. The chawanmushi that came with it was also delicious, with a strong dashi broth. If I'm in Ito, I'd definitely like to go again! Thank you for the meal! (Original) 金目鯛の煮付けを食べられるところを探していて、辿り着きました。 お盆の平日13時頃に行きましたが、さすがにすぐは入れなかったため、名前を書いて20分ほどで入店。 夫婦2人で、 鰤カマ煮付・お刺身の定食と、金目鯛煮付け・お刺身の定食と、カサゴの天ぷら単品をいただきました。 どれも美味しかったですが、特に煮付けの味が最高でした！ごはんもおかわり無料なので、どんどんとごはんが進みました。 付いていた茶碗蒸しも出汁が効いていて最高。 伊東に来た際は、ぜひまた行きたいと思います！ごちそうさまでした！

(Translated by Google) Chinese people don't lie to other Chinese people, please everyone, you absolutely must try this place!!! First, the price is very reasonable. For only 2500 yen, you get sashimi and soy sauce-braised golden snapper, and the taste is excellent. Second, the service is exceptionally good. This is the only time in Japan I've been invited to sit at a large table even when I went in alone. Third, because I don't know Japanese, I ordered the wrong drink. I saw the words "plum wine" and thought it was plum wine, but it was beer. I felt it was my fault, so the auntie wanted to remove the beer, but I refused. Halfway through the meal, she brought me another glass of plum wine, wanting to replace it. I thought two glasses would be nice, so I declined and had the beer removed. The plum wine was indeed delicious, but surprisingly, in the end, they only charged me the 2500 yen set meal and the 500 yen beer; the 900 yen plum wine was free! Next time I'm in Izu, I will definitely eat here again!!! Please support this restaurant! (Original) 中国人不骗中国人，请大家一定要吃这家！！！！ 首先价格很实惠，2500又有生鱼片又有酱油的金目鲷，味道也很好。 第二是服务态度特别好，这是我在日本唯一一次一个人进去还被主动邀请坐在大桌。 第三，我因为不认识日语而点错了酒，看到了梅酒两个字就以为是梅子酒，结果是啤酒。我觉得这是我的问题，于是阿姨要把啤酒撤下去我没有同意。结果吃到一半阿姨又端来一杯梅子酒，想帮我换掉，我想喝2杯也不错，于是拒绝了把啤酒撤掉。梅子酒果然很好喝，但没想到最后只收了我套餐的2500和啤酒的500，这杯900的梅子酒给我免单了。 下次再来伊豆我一定还会吃这家！！！请大家多多支持这家店

Large portion and fresh. But the sashimi doesn’t as fresh as I expected. Miso soup is heated from a small candle which taste good. Local craft beer is recommended.

Not all Japanese people can speak English. This is Japan and you should learn Japanese. My wife and I communicated with them using a translator. They make an effort to talk to us. We should praise them for their efforts. You should not make critical comments like the one below. This is Japan. You should learn Japanese. The service is not bad. This is not a hotel. This is just a store in the town. One girl spoke to us. I was grateful to see her trying her best even though she only had a little English. Also, I don't think it's right to make noise during meals. You three were able to do it, right? I hope you don't ruin our impression.

For the price and the fact that we are right next to the ocean I expected a lot more. The fish was not fresh and the portions were disappointing.

Tasty and fresh seafoods. Many options of foods. You might have to wait if you come on weekend or holidays.

So happy we found this restaurant! The food was so delicious. Lots of great choices Excellent seafood! Refreshing cold beer from the Izu Kigen Brewery! YES!

Good food, great variety. Pleasant location. Desert department is a bonus

The trio bowl was just enough for 2 of us. We ordered other dishes like the clam miso soup, fried chicken… so so good and value for money.
