Amagisan Tunnel

Japan, Yugashima, Izu City, Shizuoka Prefecture 410-3206

Amagisan Tunnel is commonly known as "Old Amagi Tunnel". The inside of the moss-covered tunnel is cool and cool, giving the impression that the atmosphere of the olden days is still there. The tunnel is related to Yasunari Kawabata's novel "Izu no Odoriko" and has appeared many times in movies. Surrounded by the virgin forest of Amagi, the fresh greenery and autumn leaves are beautiful, and even now people continue to visit to walk the path that the dancers walked. We also recommend walking the 16.2-kilometer “Odoriko Trail” from Joren Falls to Kawazu Nanadaru Falls.
