View the volcanic crater of Mt. Mihara, the island's symbol, up close
About this spot
An active volcano rising in the center of Izu Oshima and an iconic landmark of the island. From the observation platform around Goshintake Tea House, you can view the black lava-covered earth and rugged volcanic crater up close. The dynamic scenery unique to a volcanic island offers a sense of impact that cannot be experienced at other tourist destinations. Walking trails are also well-maintained in the surrounding area, so if you have time to spare, exploring the paths is enjoyable. In the summer sunshine, this becomes a time to experience the island's geological history through your senses.

Turn this into a day plan with stall time includedTips
About 30 minutes by bus from Motocho Port. The crater area has little shade, so sunscreen and a hat are essential. The ground is rough with volcanic rock, so wear comfortable walking shoes. Next, travel to Sunset Palm Line by bus or car.
Best time to visit
Approximately 1 hour 45 minutes required. The afternoon light shows the texture of the volcanic ash landscape well.
