Start your journey in the morning from a kimono shop next to Senso-ji Temple. Dressed in a kimono, you'll instantly immerse yourself in Japanese culture, making the entire day's trip feel ceremonial from the moment you change. Your private car will head south, arriving first at Mount Omuro, Izu's most iconic volcanic landscape, in the afternoon. This 580-meter-high dormant volcano is known as "Matcha Mountain" due to its resemblance to an inverted matcha bowl. A 5-minute cable car ride takes you to the summit. Stroll along the approximately 1-kilometer crater rim path, "Hachikake," at the summit, enjoying 360-degree panoramic views of Mount Fuji, the Izu Seven Islands, and the magnificent Sagami Bay. Afterward, head to Shuzenji, the oldest hot spring town on the Izu Peninsula. Selected as one of Japan's 100 famous hot springs, its source was discovered by Kobo Daishi Kukai in 807. Approximately 2.5 hours of free time is enough to deeply experience the Zen and tranquility of "Little Kyoto of Izu"—stroll along
