The scenery filled with green color of Mount Omuro like refreshing the souls of visitors from far away to visit.
Mount Omuro is located on the east coast of the Izu Peninsula, in Shizuoka Prefecture, about 92 km from Mount Fuji, nearly 2 hours by car from Tokyo. The dormant volcano, now covered with green grass, has only a few tall trees on top, making it look like a giant green tea cake. This is quite an interesting destination for nature lovers.
