Izu is one of the most famous resort destinations in Japan, and the area is famous for accommodating many great resorts and onsen. The area is also famous for its great collection of temples, but on top of that, Izu actually accommodates many good restaurants offering many types of gourmet to try!
1. Bokunenjin

Bokunenjin offers not just delicious juwari-soba, but also great calming atmosphere as well as you can stare at the famous bamboo path “Chikurin no Komichi” from the window while enjoying your meal.
We strongly recommend you to try Bokunenjin Tenseiro soba; a cold or warm soba with sakura ebi kakiage topping.
