Mount Omuro

Mount Omuro has an elevation of 580 meters and it is a symbol of the Izu-kogen Plateau. The mountain stands out on the plateau due to its round figure like that of an upside-down bowl. A chair lift will take you to the mountain top. You have a 360-degree panoramic  view from there and a stunning view of Mount Fuji and Izu Oshima Island in the ocean as well. It is a volcanic mountain that was formed about 5,000 years ago. People in Izu have revered it as a holy mountain. They believe that the mountain brings safety for their ships and a good haul of fish. The center of the mountain has a large crater. There is a hiking trail around it where visitors can enjoy a thrilling hike.
