Ito [city] - Ito

Japanese: 伊東[市] - いとう

A city in the northeastern part of the Izu Peninsula, Shizuoka Prefecture. It was incorporated as a city in 1947. Most of the city is mountainous, and the Ito-Okawa River flows northeast, with the town developing around the hot springs at the river's mouth. The hot springs are simple springs, 45°C, and abundant, and have been known since the Edo period. With the opening of the Ito Line in 1938 and the Izu Kyuko Line in 1961, the town developed rapidly and became a base for tourism in Izu. National Route 135, the Nakaizu Bypass, and a shipping route to Oshima are also accessible, and Mount Omuroyama, the crater lake Lake Ippeki, and the Kawana area with its golf course are all part of the Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park. In addition to citrus and azalea cultivation and greenhouse horticulture, the town is also thriving with the production of dried fish for tourist souvenirs. Area: 124.10 ^km2 . Population: 71,437 (2010).
