Izu Cactus Park with Mount Omuro in the background

The Izu Cactus Park (Izu Shaboten Koen) is a mixture between botanical and zoological garden, located besides the strikingly shaped, grass covered Mount Omuro, an extinct volcano in Ito City on the Izu Peninsula.

More than one thousand cactus varieties from around the world are exhibited in the park's greenhouses, while animals living in the park include birds, rodents and monkeys. A chimpanzee show is held several times per day.

The Izu Cactus Park can be reached in a 15 minute bus ride (350 yen one way) from Izu Kogen Station. Izu Kogen Station is located along the Izu Kyuko Line, 20 minutes south of Ito and 50 minutes south of Atami.
