Spreading across Higashi-Izu town in Shizuoka Prefecture, 'Izu Forest Park (Inatori Fureai no Mori)' is a healing spot surrounded by rich nature. This forest offers visitors a peaceful retreat and a refreshing escape, with stunning scenery that changes with the seasons. As you walk through the forest, the chirping of birds and the rustling of trees create a soothing atmosphere, helping you forget the hustle and bustle of city life.
Within the grounds, well-maintained walking trails allow even beginners to enjoy a relaxing hike. The forest showcases different charms with each season—lush greenery in spring, refreshing shade in summer, vibrant autumn foliage, and crisp, clear air in winter. There is also a picnic area, making it a great spot to bring a bento and spend a leisurely time. As you immerse yourself in the forest, you will eventually arrive at 'Inatori Observatory,' where breathtaking views await.

Nestled quietly within the forest, 'Inatori Observatory' is a hidden gem known for its breathtaking views. Perched at a high elevation, the observatory offers a sweeping panorama of Sagami Bay, and on clear days, you can even see the Izu Seven Islands in the distance. The views at sunrise and sunset are particularly stunning, as the sky and sea blend into a mesmerizing spectacle that captivates all who visit. On bright, cloudless days, the distant islands stand out vividly against the horizon, creating a picture-perfect scene that begs to be captured. With a refreshing breeze flowing through, the observatory also serves as an ideal resting spot for hikers looking to take in the scenery.

Inatori Forest Park is conveniently accessible, located just about 10 minutes by car or 20 minutes by bus from Izu-Inatori Station on the Izu Kyuko Line. Nearby, you'll find Inatori Onsen and numerous restaurants where you can savor fresh seafood, making it a perfect stop during your travels.
