Guiding Philosophy
We believe that nature is best understood through stories – stories of the land, the people, and the ongoing relationship between humans and the volcano.
Our goal is not simply to show places, but to help guests feel the rhythm of island life and gain a deeper appreciation of how nature continues to shape Izu Oshima.
