Often referred to as the “Eye of Izu,” Lake Ippeki is a tranquil volcanic crater lake surrounded by dense forest. It is famous for quiet lakeside walking trails, red maple foliage in autumn, and swan pedal boats. A stylish modern cafe sits right on the water’s edge, making it an ideal off-the-beaten-path coffee stop.
