- Itinerary Introduction -
・Shinmei Fireworks Festival
The Shinmei Fireworks Festival is the largest fireworks festival in Yamanashi. Every year, about 20,000 fireworks are launched on the same day. Last year, about 200,000 people came to watch. The local fireworks manufacturing skills are said to have originated from the Takeda clan that once ruled Yamanashi. In the Edo period, fireworks here were used to worship the gods. Every year, they were launched locally, called the Ichikawa Fireworks Festival, and were known as one of the three major fireworks festivals in Japan at that time. The highlight of each year is the "Nishakudama", a large flower-shaped firework with a diameter of 500 meters after the explosion, which is shocking. Accompanied by music, it renders the night sky of Yamanashi into a beautiful fireworks town.

・All-you-can-eat Kyoho grape picking
Yamanashi Prefecture is known as the Kingdom of Fruits, and it produces different high-quality fruits all year round. Among them, Yamanashi ranks first in Japan in grape production. When you visit Yamanashi in summer, don't forget to enjoy fresh and juicy grapes! Experience the fun of picking and eating at the fruit farms in Yamanashi! The Kyoho grapes are large and sweet, which makes grape lovers feel very surprised. The sugar content of Kyoho is as high as 18 to 20 degrees. The fruits are purple-black, large, and the flesh is firm and juicy. The flesh has a strong aroma and strong sweetness, with a delicate taste, rich flavor and mild acidity. Depending on the production area and orchard, there are also many seedless varieties of Kyoho grapes. Even though new grape varieties are constantly being born, Kyoho still has a long-lasting popularity.
・Omuroyama Ropeway
Mount Omuro is not only the symbol of the Izu Peninsula, but also a designated "National Natural Monument". It is a dormant volcano about 580 meters high and was selected as one of the "Eight Views of Ito". From spring to summer, the grass and trees growing along the mountain are bright green, and it is nicknamed "Matcha Mountain"! It takes about 4 minutes to take the bus, and your feet seem to touch the grass swaying in the wind. Climbing to the top of the mountain with a diameter of about 300 meters, you can overlook the streets of Izu and the Jogasaki Coast. There are specialty shops on the top and at the bottom of the mountain where you can buy limited souvenirs!
※If the Omuroyama Ropeway is suspended due to strong winds, we will refund part of the fee and change the itinerary to free activities in Ito MARION TOWN.
・Jogasaki Coast
The Jogasaki Coast on the Izu Peninsula is a volcanic coast formed 4,000 years ago when lava from the eruption of Mt. Omuro flowed into the Pacific Ocean. In addition to the magnificent Pacific Ocean, you can also enjoy the forest scenery and the unique sea suspension bridge "Kadowaki Suspension Bridge" while walking along it. Every tourist will always walk through it with excitement. It is both exciting and unique!
・Hakone Shrine
Hakone Shrine has a history of over 1,200 years and is the leading shrine for good fortune in the Kanto region of Japan. Famous ancient generals such as Minamoto no Yoritomo and Tokugawa Ieyasu all visited this place before going to war. In addition, when you come to Hakone Shrine, you must check in at the huge Torii gate in Lake Ashi. It is not only very popular among foreigners, but many Japanese people who come to Hakone will also check in and take photos here. Don't miss it!
