Two sides of spring in one day
Snow-capped Fuji in the morning.

This is one of my most special seasonal tours: a journey south from Tokyo into the Izu Peninsula, designed around two unforgettable landscapes.
We begin with the clearest possible opportunity to enjoy Mount Fuji from Izu Panorama Park, then continue toward Kawazu for a relaxed walk beneath the town’s famous early-blooming cherry trees.
Seasonal note: flowering dates change every year. The itinerary can be adjusted according to bloom conditions, weather and visibility on the day.
Your day
The journey
One smooth seasonal route, with two possible meeting points.
02
Izu Panorama Park
A scenic ropeway takes us to the 452-metre summit of Mt. Katsuragi, where Ao Terrace offers spectacular views across Suruga Bay toward Mount Fuji. For an even more exclusive experience, I can also arrange a private sofa space facing Mount Fuji, where you can relax while enjoying a Japanese meal, or traditional matcha served with wagashi sweets. A privileged moment designed to make this stop much more than a simple sightseeing visit.
Lunch in Izu
A flexible lunch break chosen around the day’s timing and your preferences.
Kawazu Sakura
Walk beside the Kawazu River beneath the famous deep-pink early cherry blossoms.
Inside Izu Panorama Park
More than a viewpoint.
We take time to enjoy the summit rather than simply taking one photo and leaving. The ropeway ride itself takes about seven minutes, reaching Ao Terrace at 452 metres above sea level. From here, the official park highlights views of Mount Fuji and Suruga Bay, landscaped water features, several observation areas, sofas and benches, plus walking paths through the summit area.
01
Ao Terrace
Wide-open views toward Mount Fuji and Suruga Bay from the summit terrace.
02
Time to relax
Enjoy the scenery from one of the park’s comfortable seating and lounge areas instead of rushing through the summit.
03
Walk & viewpoints
Short summit walks connect different viewpoints, photo spots and quieter corners of the mountain-top park.

Kawazu-zakura
Japan’s spring starts early here.
Unlike the pale Somei Yoshino blossoms seen later in spring, Kawazu-zakura are known for their deeper pink colour and earlier flowering season.
The river walk is the heart of the experience: blossoms, small bridges, local food stands and the mountains of Izu in the background.
The experience
Fuji, Izu and early spring.
Why this tour
Designed as an experience, not a checklist.
01
Fuji first
The day is structured to prioritize Mount Fuji views earlier, when conditions are often more favorable.
02
Private pace
No group timetable. We can spend longer on photography, food or the river walk depending on what you enjoy.
03
Season-aware
Bloom and weather conditions matter. I adapt the day rather than forcing a fixed script.
04
Local support
Transport, ordering, etiquette and explanations are handled in English, French or Japanese.
