Mount Komuro Park
小室山公園
A volcanic hill 321 meters high. In spring, about 100,000 azalea bushes turn the slopes red, and a summit café offers views of Mount Fuji.
Mount Komuro is in Kawana, Ito. It is a small volcano that erupted about 15,000 years ago and rises roughly 321 meters. The Mount Komuro Park at its base has about 40 varieties and around 100,000 azalea bushes. From late April to early May, when they are in full bloom, the hillside is a sea of red. In winter there is also a camellia garden. A chairlift takes about three minutes to the summit, where the observation deck gives a 360-degree view of Mount Fuji, the Izu Seven Islands, and Sagami Bay. There is a glass-walled café at the top. The park is free. The chairlift round trip costs about ¥800. A bus from Ito Station takes about 20 minutes.
