Yo.
This tour uses an electric-assist bicycle to leisurely enjoy the island's original scenery and charm that cannot be seen by car. An "Izu Oshima Geopark certified guide" will clearly guide you to the attractive spots unique to Oshima. Electric-assist bicycles, which are highly rated in Europe, run surprisingly smoothly anywhere on the island, which has many slopes, so you can ride long distances without getting tired.
The symbol of Izu Oshima, Mt. Mihara, is an active volcano that spews out bright red magma during an eruption, just like Hawaii. It is one of the few volcanoes in Japan. A huge crater is open at the summit, and the impressive sight of the steam rising even today is popular. On the way to the summit, you will learn about the mystery of the traces of the bright red lava flows that flowed out in the past, as well as the attractions that can only be seen on this plan.
This course is a relatively flat trekking tour that is full of excitement as you explore the mysterious "Sea of Trees" that grows on lava flows, walk along the "Single Path of Regeneration" where the sunlight filters through the trees, and before you know it, the forest will change into a desert. This is a battle between the "forest" and the "volcano" that can only be felt on Oshima, and is called the "Geo Rock Garden."
"I want to see the crater of Mt. Mihara, but I also want to see the spectacular view of the Ura Desert!" This is a special plan limited to one group that allows you to visit other attractive geosites at the same time. The course will be decided in consultation with the customer, so you can enjoy it in various ways. Since we will be touring Izu Oshima by car, it is perfect for those who are not good at trekking and those who are interested in visiting the history and cultural heritage of Oshima.
