A day trip to Izu Kogen

The famous places in Izu Kogen are Omuroyama and Jōgasaki Coast. Omuroyama and Mount Fuji have the same charm, both are conical, and they look like wonderful hills that only appear in paintings. The 580-meter-high Omuroyama is made up of debris after the volcanic eruption. Jōgasaki Coast was formed by the lava that flowed out when Omuroyama volcano erupted about 4000 years ago. You can take a walk along the coastline of about 9km. In particular, the "Monet Suspension Bridge" with a total length of 48m and a height of about 23m is a thrilling and breathtaking spot. From the observatory of the "Monet Lighthouse" where you can enjoy a 360-degree panoramic view, you can overlook the Izu Seven Islands and Amagi Ranges. I plan to go to Omuroyama first, then to Jōgasaki Coast. Take the Shinkansen from Tokyo Shinagawa Station to Atami (ticket price is more than 3700 yen), note that you need to take the KOTAMA number, other cars do not stop in Atami. After getting off at Atami, transfer to the Izu Express, get off at Izu Kogen Station, and there is a bus to Omuroyama Ropeway Station in front of the station (ticket price is 680 yen). There is no admission fee for Omuroyama, but you can only take a round-trip cable car up the mountain for 1000 yen per person. After reaching the top of the mountain, you can go down the mountain after walking around the crater. Then take the bus back to Izu Kogen Station, take the Izu Express back to Atami to Jōgasaki Coast Station, you can take the bus to the entrance of the suspension bridge after getting off. Because there are not many bus schedules, I walked there, navigated with Gaode map, and it took about half an hour. The coast is downhill, and the return is uphill. If you can't walk far, it is recommended to take the bus. There is a bus schedule at the station. After visiting Jōgasaki Coast, take the Izu Express back to Atami, and then go wherever you want. I am going to Gotemba, and I will leave my luggage at Atami Station first. After picking up my luggage, I will take the train to Numazu, and then transfer to Gotemba.
