Nakaizu

This time, I went to Tokyo with my parents, so I joined this two-day tour to Izu. The whole trip was comfortable, and we easily visited many attractions. Our tour guide, Ms. Ye, was also very nice and helpful in taking photos. We had a lot of fun!

--- 🏝Izu (Izu Peninsula) Overall Review: Abundant natural scenery, top-notch hot springs, and a relaxed pace, making it perfect for a relaxing vacation. - Highlights: Coastal scenery, hot springs (Shuzenji, Ito, Inatori, etc.), seafood cuisine, and art attractions (Izu Kogen). - Suitable for: People who enjoy hot springs, gourmet food, relaxed travel, and sea views. - Experience: Slow pace, attractions are spread out; driving or planning your transportation in advance is recommended. --- 🏔 Mt. Fuji 5th Station Overall Review: The easiest high point to approach Mt. Fuji, with breathtaking views, but crowded and greatly affected by weather. - Rating: Trip.com 4.7/5 (681 reviews). - Highlights: - Close-up views of Mt. Fuji - 5th Station Observatory, sea of clouds, Mt. Fuji-shaped pineapple bun (AMANOYA) - Komiya Shrine, Okuniwa Nature Park - Note: Weather is changeable, roads are prone to closure in winter; large crowds during peak season. --- 🌋 Asama (Speculation: Asama Mountain/Around Asama Taisha Shrine) Search results didn't directly show "Asama travel reviews," but based on common travel context, I speculate: - Asama Mountain: Known for its volcanic landscape and nature trails, suitable for outdoor enthusiasts. - Asama Taisha Shrine (Fujisan Hongu Asama Taisha Shrine): The center of Fuji worship, suitable for cultural experiences. > If you are referring to a specific "Asama" attraction, I can search further and add more information. --- 🗻 Overall Viewing Experience of Mt. Fuji: A symbolic Japanese landscape; the best experience depends on the weather. - Excellent views from Enoshima, the Shonan coast, Inamurazaki, etc., especially the combination of "Enoshima + Mt. Fuji," considered one of Japan's most spectacular views. - Best season: Autumn and winter (clear air). - Special phenomena: The rare and unpredictable "Diamond Fuji" and "Pearl Fuji." --- 🌅 Overall Viewing Experience of Enoshima: A comprehensive attraction combining sea views, Mt. Fuji, delicious food, a shrine, and a lighthouse, with a relaxed atmosphere. - Highlights: - Enoshima Kaicho Lighthouse, Iwaya Cave, sunset views from Chinobuchi - Traditional approach to the shrine, takoyaki (octopus crackers), seafood - Distant views of Mount Fuji, a landmark of the Shonan region - Experience: Lots of walking but not difficult, suitable for half a day to a full day trip. - Lesser-known activity: Take silhouette photos of Mount Fuji at sunset from Chinobuchi (best in autumn and winter).

Bought the ticket for 1 vehicle (inclusive of 1 adult). It was fuss free! Just arrive 30mins before the timing. Park your car where the staff instructs to (to line up with the other cars), then head to the ticket office to exchange your ticket. After that, you can wait in the office or head back to your car. When it's time, again the staff will direct you where to park your car (left middle or right lane). Park and head up to the deck for seats. It is also much cheaper to order in advance. Tickets on site is 4000 Yen.

The scenery was absolutely beautiful. Our driver and guide, Mr. Ma, was very capable and always willing to help with anything else we asked. Thank you so much! Thumbs up!

Very convenient, the driver was very professional and polite, and the pick-up location was confirmed before departure!
