Izu
Izu is a city in Japan's Shizuoka prefecture, on the heavily forested Izu Peninsula. It's known for its hot spring resorts and the Shuzenji Temple, a 9th-century Zen Buddhist site with a bamboo garden. Old-fashioned, English-themed steam trains operate along the narrow-gauge Shuzenji Romney Railway. The medieval Toi Gold Mine has restored tunnels and a gold museum. Nearby, the Kano River tumbles over Jōren Falls.
