Essential daily facilities are within a 10-minute drive, while a 30-minute drive provides access to beaches, mountain hiking trails, museums, golf, the Higashi-Izu Safari Zoo, and the marinas of Atami and Shimoda.
The Izu Peninsula is famous for its dramatic coastline, volcanic landscapes, and abundant hot springs. An interesting fact is that the peninsula was formed by the subduction of the Philippine Sea Plate beneath the Eurasian Plate, a tectonic activity that continues to fuel its numerous onsens. The closest major tourist attraction is the Higashi-Izu Safari Zoo, a popular family destination where visitors can observe animals in expansive, naturalistic enclosures.
