Mount Ōmuro (大室山, Ōmuroyama) is a 580 m (1,900 ft)-high cinder cone volcano in the Izu-Tobu volcano field of Itō, Shizuoka, Japan. At the independent peak, the yearly mountain burning that been performed for more than 700 years is carried out in the early spring,[3] so it is often covered with annual plants and is a symbol of Itō. The mountain is designated as a national natural monument and part of Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park.
