Mt. Ōmuro and sakura tree along the road, a homey area for holiday. Lately, many girl travelers come to this place. Many interesting place for you to enjoy. There is a museum at the southern part from the Izu Kōgen station, and the fresh mountain air at the northern part. You can breath the clear air engulfed by the greenery and cherry blossom trees. Feel the warm greeting from the sunlight filtering through tree branches while you sit down at one of the stylish cafe, bakery, or restaurant over there. For that reason, you can also enjoy this area not only at sakura season, but every season!

You can always choose how to enjoy this area, either by walking or by taking the bus. The hill is not too steep so you can always have a gentle walk over there. I recommend to check the Tokai bus timetable too, you probably would like to experience both the walking and bus ride sightseeing. Likewise, you can also stay a night over here. From private home providing lodging for traveleres or high-class ryokan (Japanese style hotel), they have many lodging facility you can choose based on your budget!
