Mount Omuro

大室山

Mountains & Volcanoes · Shizuoka

Located in Ito, Shizuoka Prefecture, Mount Omuro is a striking 580-meter-high extinct volcano known for its smooth, symmetrical bowl shape resembling an inverted rice bowl. Covered in grass rather than trees due to a centuries-old annual mountain-burning tradition, it offers a scenic chairlift ride to the summit and a walking trail around its crater rim with panoramic ocean views.
