About the Area

The central Izu area is located in the center of the Izu Peninsula and is surrounded by the 1,000m-high Amagi mountain range.
Joren Falls, Japan's best wasabi, and game meats are blessed with the abundant rain that the seas surrounding the peninsula bring to the mountains.

Traditional arts born from the onsen entertainment district are still alive in Izu Nagaoka.
Izu's oldest onsen town, Shuzenji was first founded by Kobo Daishi, a Japanese Buddhist monk.
Nakaizu onsen is well-known for having the most accommodations loved by historical figures such as Yasunari Kawabata and Taro Okamoto.
