I recently visited Omuro Mountain in Izu, Japan, and it was an unforgettable experience! This volcano-shaped mountain, covered in lush green grass, looks like a giant matcha cake. 🌱📸 It’s perfect for nature lovers and photographers seeking peace and fresh air.
🚡 Chair Lift Adventure

The ride is smooth and relaxing, making it suitable for everyone—even families with kids.
🌄 Summit & Crater Rim Walk
At the top, you can walk around the crater rim 🏞️, a circular trail of about 1 km. From here, you can see Itō City, Sagami Bay, and even Mount Fuji on clear days 🗻. Sunrise 🌅 and sunset 🌇 are magical, with the slopes glowing golden. Along the path, you’ll spot small shrines ⛩️ and unique geological features.
🌲 Nature & Hiking
The trails are easy and refreshing. 🍃 The sound of birds 🐦, the fresh mountain air, and gentle wind make every step relaxing. Perfect for photography lovers, every angle looks like a postcard! 📷 Don’t forget to capture the green slopes and crater views.
