Although I could not introduce it in the ranking, Okawa Onsen near Izu Okawa Station, Kawazu Bagatelle Park where you can enjoy French rose garden, Shimoda Underwater Aquarium where you can play and swim with dolphins, fireworks festivals are held in various parts of Izu in the summer I recommend it. Also, it is nice to combine the above rankings for a sightseeing trip like a model course, but it is also good to go further and make memories with sports and cultural experiences such as sightseeing in the Seven Islands of Izu and activities. And there is no doubt that each season will have a different taste! Please check the address, phone number, regular holidays, business hours, admission fees, reservations, etc. in advance on the relevant website or by phone. I hope everyone's sightseeing in Izu will be even more fulfilling ☆
