Mount Omuro
Mount Omuro is a 580-meter freestanding peak in Ito, Shizuoka Prefecture. Its distinctive inverted-bowl shape has made it a beloved symbol of the Izu Highlands. Formed by volcanic activity around 4,000 years ago, Mount Omuro is a nationally designated Natural Monument and one of the largest scoria cones in the Izu Eastern Volcano Group.
When you reach the top of Mt. Omuro, it feels like you're so close to the sky. Especially on a clear day, the fresh air and the views of both the mountains and the sea really lift your spirits.
