Finally, I have entered the world of manga!

Today, I will take you to a place that is both familiar and mysterious. This is not only the classic scene from Makoto Shinkai's masterpiece 'Your Name,' but also the real-life 'Matcha Mountain'—Mount Omuro. This is a mesmerizing volcanic relic located in Ito City, Shizuoka Prefecture, on the Izu Peninsula, Japan. It is only a few hours' drive from Tokyo, yet it feels like another world. 📍 Detailed Address: Mount Omuro, Futo, Ito City, Shizuoka Prefecture. This iconic volcanic crater attracts tourists from all over the world with its unique charm. 🚗 Travel Guide: From Tokyo, you can take the Tokaido Shinkansen to Atami Station, then transfer to the Izu Hakone Railway or the Izu Kyuko Line to Ito Station, and finally take a bus or taxi to the Mount Omuro Ropeway Station. For those driving, you can take the Tomei Expressway directly, enjoying the picturesque scenery along the way. 🚡 Must-Do Experience: As you slowly ascend by ropeway, you will gradually feel the dialogue between the mountains and the sky. Upon reaching the summit, you will see a perfect conical volcanic crater, like a gift from the Earth to the sky. Walking along the trail at the crater's edge, you can capture movie-like scenes that are worth cherishing in every frame. 🍴 Food Recommendations: After descending, don't miss the local delicacies of the Izu Peninsula. Fresh seafood dishes, local specialty onsen eggs, and various desserts made with Izu green tea are all must-try delicacies. It is especially recommended to try an authentic Izu-style meal at a small restaurant at the foot of the mountain, allowing your taste buds to embark on a journey as well. 🏞️ Nearby Attractions: If you have more time, explore other treasures of the Izu Peninsula. The bizarre rocks of Kadowaki Coast, the relaxing experience of Futo Onsen, and the luxurious enjoyment at the Hotel Wanosu are all excellent choices. The Izu Peninsula not only boasts magnificent natural landscapes but also has a rich cultural history waiting for you to discover. 📸 Photography Tips: Remember to bring a wide-angle lens, as the panoramic view from the summit is perfect for capturing stunning landscape photos. Also, sunrise and sunset offer soft and layered lighting, making it the golden hour for photography enthusiasts. Don't forget, every trip is a journey of self-discovery. Mount Omuro is not just a destination but a story about time, space, and self-connection. Here, you will have a beautiful dialogue with yourself, just like Taki and Mitsuha in 'Your Name,' where hearts are closely connected despite the separation of time and space. Pack your bags and get ready to set off! Mount Omuro is waiting for you. Let's create our own story together.
