Shuzenji
It starts at Shuzenji Station.
Shuzenji is the oldest hot spring resort in Izu with a history of over 1,200 years. It is called "Izu no Ko-Kyoto" because of its elegant townspace along the Katsyra River, where bamboo groves and vermilion bridges are built, and it is a healing hot spring resort where you can enjoy hot springs, walks, and gourmet food.
From Shuzenji to Izu no Kuni, it goes to along the Kano River.
It is a very good road for cycling because there are no cars along the river.
Move west from Izu no Kuni and proceed along the sea. This road is a place where you can see Mt. Fuji beyond the sea.
After looking at Mt. Fuji, you will finally head to Mt. Dharma. There are several routes to climb but this time Sanagi Pass. It takes about 40 minutes to get to the rest house. The powerful E-bike makes it easy to climb.
