Experience of the stay
I had a room where I could sit on a sofa overlooking the swimming pool and the ocean beyond, allowing me to relax. It coincided with the Paris Olympics, so I could watch the Olympics on a big screen TV and enjoy a leisurely holiday. The bath had hot spring water coming from the faucet, which gave me a taste of a mini onsen experience.
Experiences during the trip
Until this year, I had never properly toured Izu, so I took a short 2-day trip.
On the first day, I visited "Omuro Mountain," a famous spot in Izu-Kogen. It was a small green hill that felt almost surreal! After that, I had pizza lunch at Pulcino in Izu-Kogen. I was worried about whether I could get in since they don’t take reservations, but I was lucky to get a table. The pizza had lots of varieties and was quite filling, so I was very satisfied. After lunch, I drove to Yumigahama, enjoying the horizon of South Izu. The beach had beautiful water and nice sand. Walking barefoot felt amazing.
On the second day, I enjoyed a leisurely breakfast at the hotel and challenged myself to drive through Central Izu.
I relished the great outdoors of Izu with wasabi fields at Ikadaba, Joren Falls, and Kawazu Nanadaru Falls.
Compared to Tokyo, the climate was very pleasant, so I thought I would like to visit again and stay longer.
