Izu - Zoo Mountain
The next day we went to the Izu Safari Park. It had an interesting walk-through safari type layout where you could buy food and feed all the animals along the way. Plus there was plenty of petting areas. We really enjoying watching the 4 cheetah cubs playing. Afterwards, we went to Mt Omoro, which is a dormant volcano that they burn every year to keep any trees from growing on it. It looks like a giant grassy hill from afar. The only way up was by char lift, but the view from the top was pretty nice. There was even an archery area in the center of the crater.
