    Mt. Omuro on the Izu Peninsula looks like an upside-down bowl. I think “Matcha Mountain” would also be a fitting name! It’s such a unique place.

    You can take the chairlift to the summit and back for JPY 1,000 per adult. At the top, there’s a walking trail that circles the mountain. Our guide said you can see Mt. Fuji when the weather is clear, but unfortunately, it got foggy after we reached the top.

    There are also some delicious dango near the chairlift at the summit, so give them a try! For me, this place gets a 98 out of 100—I loved it!

    This mountain is a symbol of Ito, with its smooth, treeless silhouette that's pretty unique.

    The view from the top is beautiful. Dogs can ride the lift too, so it's a nice spot to visit if you're traveling with your pet.

    The summit is shaped like a mortar, and you can even try archery there. Every year they do a controlled burn, and if you time it right, you can see Mt. Omuro surrounded by flames.

    The view from the top is absolutely beautiful—you can see the vast Pacific Ocean. The only way up and down is by cable car. One of my friends is afraid of heights, so they just waited for us in the shop.

    Mt. Omuro is located on the Izu Peninsula and stands only 580 meters tall. Its shape is really unique—like an upside-down bowl! You can take a cable car to the top, where there's a walking path. On clear days, you can even see Mt. Fuji. There's also an archery range inside the crater, but I'm not sure what it's for.
