About the Area

North Izu, including Mishima and Numazu, once prospered as post towns along the historic Tokaido route and is known today as the gateway to the Izu Peninsula. With excellent access from the Tokyo metropolitan area by rail and expressway, it is a convenient starting point for exploring Izu.
The Kano River flows from the Amagi Mountains to Suruga Bay, whose coastline is lined with Senbon Matsubara, a scenic pine grove closely tied to local life.
The Mishima Lava Plateau, formed by an ancient eruption of Mount Fuji, is nourished by clear spring water from the mountain’s melted snow.

of the Izu Peninsula, nature remains deeply woven into everyday life.
A long-standing sense of respect for the natural world has shaped this beautiful balance between people and nature.
