UNESCO Geopark
The Izu Peninsula was designated a “Geopark” by the United Nations Ecucational, Scientific and Cultural Organization in 2018. Izu was formed by a series of volcanoes that crashed into the Japanese mainland over thousands of years. The result is some of the most unique and and beautiful scenery in the country.
