The Izu region, where the Kawana Hotel Golf Course is located, is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Japan. The Jogasaki Coast east of the Izu Peninsula is beautiful and has been recognized as a World Geopark by UNESCO.

Omuroyama has been designated as a national natural monument, and the scenery of Komuroyama is also very beautiful. Komuroyama offers a panoramic view of the surrounding area. In addition, there are many diving spots on the sea surface that is calm all year round. There are also a wealth of museums here, allowing you to enjoy a luxurious travel experience that is not limited to golf. Of course, there are also many golf courses in the Izu area and the neighboring Hakone area, which is simply an ideal place to enjoy a "golf trip".

Izu Cape Lighthouse

If you want to talk about Izu's loyal travel control, the great writer Yasunari Kawabata is definitely one of them. When he first traveled to the Izu Peninsula in 1918, he fell in love with this place at first sight and wrote the world-famous book "The Dancing Girl of Izu". Because of Kawabata Yasunari's writing, Izu seems to be related to love. It is a private holiday place for couples and a place of love where you can walk hand in hand.

Izu Cape Lighthouse is a famous attraction in western Izu. Its Chinese name is Lover Cape. As the name suggests, it is a place for lovers. On a good day, you can see Mount Fuji from here. It is said that love can be realized by ringing the nearby bell three times while calling your lover's name.

Omuro Mountain

Mount Fuji can be seen in the northwest of the Izu Peninsula. The peninsula is also part of the Fuji Hakone Izu National Park. The mountains and plateaus here attract many climbers and nature lovers, such as Omuro Mountain, the filming location of the anime movie "Your Name".

This place is evaluated by netizens as: "Omuro Mountain" which looks like a huge pudding sprinkled with matcha powder in summer. This matcha mountain is listed as "the best of the eight views of Ito" and is also a popular online celebrity check-in scenic spot. Mount Omuro has a relatively gentle slope and an altitude of only 580 meters. In summer, the mountain is full of greenery and lush vegetation. The mountain is covered with layers of matcha powder, which is so healing and beautiful.

Cactus Zoo

The Izu Cactus Zoo next to Mount Omuro is a must-visit place for almost everyone who comes to the Izu Peninsula. It concentrates all kinds of cacti from all over the world, and there are 1,500 kinds of cacti and other succulents collected from all over the world.

And the free-range capybara "power" Kapibara here is the real difference, and you can get close to the capybara.

Shuzenji Temple

Shuzenji Temple is known as the "Little Kyoto of Izu". It is located in the center of the Izu Peninsula. It was established in 807. It is the most culturally rich hot spring street temple in Japan and is also known as the "First Garden in the East China Sea". The whole Shuzenji Temple has a simple and pure beauty. The fresh air makes people stretch their whole body. It is especially pleasant to walk around here.

Shuzenji Onsen

The oldest hot spring town in the Izu Peninsula of Japan, Shuzenji Onsen is centered on Shuzenji Temple. It has developed a historic hot spring street along the Katsura River. It is known as the "Little Kyoto of Izu" and has been selected as a two-star attraction in the Michelin Travel Guide. It is a top resort choice. Even well-informed literary masters such as Natsume Soseki, Kawabata Yasunari, and Akutagawa Ryunosuke are nostalgic for it.

Shuzenji Onsen is a large hot spring in central Izu that stretches along the Katsura River. "Tokko no Yu" is located in the clear stream in the middle of the Katsura River and is the birthplace of Shuzenji Onsen. There is a free foot bath facility not far away. You can feel the flow of the river in the foot bath and relax your body and mind.

Shuzenji Garden

In addition to hot springs, Shuzenji is also a famous maple viewing spot in Japan. During the red leaf season, the Shuzenji Garden, known as the "No. 1 Garden in the East China Sea", will be open to tourists. The red maple leaves dye the mountains red like fire, reflecting the golden ginkgo trees, which have been intoxicating for thousands of years.

Joren Waterfall

As the first famous waterfall in Izu, Joren no Shizun was selected as one of the 100 waterfalls in Japan. It is said that even Emperor Showa once admired its magnificent rapids and majestic momentum. In addition, the legend of the spider girl from ancient times has added a bit of mystery to it.

Kawazu Nanataki

Kawazu Nanataki is a famous waterfall in Izu, where you can enjoy the beauty of seven waterfalls of different heights and moods. It is worth mentioning that the waterfall named "Hatsukei Flood" is the waterfall in "The Dancing Girl of Izu", and you can also see the statues of "I" and the dancing girl here.

Amagariyama Tunnel

The old Amagi Boku-no-ko (Amagariyama Tunnel), built in 1904, is not only one of the 100 oldest streets in Japan, but also an important cultural heritage and haunted tunnel in Japan. Whether it is the beautiful horseshoe shape at the entrance or the solid stone shape, you can seem to find the secret of Kawabata Yasunari's inspiration from its beautiful structure.

Izu Province Panorama Park

I believe that everyone knows that Mount Fuji can be viewed in Kawaguchiko, but not many people have seen the entire Mount Fuji and Suruga Bay in Izu Province Panorama Park (Izu Eight/Eight One Night). The park is located at the top of Mount Katsushima at an altitude of 452 meters. It can be reached by cable car in 7 minutes. The ropeway is 1,791 meters long and has a height difference of 411 meters. As the cable car rises, you can enjoy the city scenery of Izu Nagaoka Onsen, Mount Fuji, and Izu's country city. The scenery is constantly changing.

There is also the "Bitiantai" observation deck where you can overlook Mount Fuji, which is also the biggest highlight of the park. Here you can see Suruga Bay and Mount Fuji, as well as three blue water surfaces, and the surrounding natural landscape is reflected in it, forming a blue world.

Fireworks Festival

There are also many small fireworks festivals on the Izu Peninsula in summer, which are very pleasant without crowds.
