Exploring Ito: Three Unmissable Attractions

• Ito Onsen: No visit to Ito is complete without indulging in its therapeutic hot springs. Just minutes from your stay, you can find numerous public bathhouses (*sento*) and traditional inns (*ryokan*) that offer day-pass access to their baths. Soaking in mineral-rich waters, often with views of lush gardens or the sea, is the quintessential Izu experience, perfect for soothing travel-weary muscles.

• Jogasaki Coast: A short drive or bus ride away, this dramatic coastline features a stunning 4-kilometer hiking trail along volcanic cliffs. The highlight is the iconic Kadowaki Suspension Bridge, which offers thrilling views of the turquoise Pacific Ocean crashing against rugged rocks below. The fresh sea air and breathtaking vistas make it a must for nature lovers and photographers.

• Izu Shaboten Zoo: This unique and family-friendly park combines a cactus garden with an animal park where you can get up close with capybaras—Japan’s beloved oversized rodents. The star attraction is the legendary "capybara onsen," where these charming creatures relax in open-air hot spring baths during colder months. It’s a delightfully quirky and unforgettable sight unique to this region.
