Aloe of Minami-Izu
Along the coastline, aloe fields stretch out in long rows. In winter, red flowers bloom all at once at the tips of the slender stalks. This is a scene unique to Minami-Izu, often referred to as the 'Village of Aloe.' Blessed with a warm climate, the town of Minami-Izu is a major production area for aloe. Even aloe, which is sensitive to the cold, grows vigorously in this land warmed by the Kuroshio Current. The 'Aloe Flower Festival,' held from December to January, has become a winter tradition where the blue of the sea and the red of the flowers beautifully contrast. Since ancient times, aloe has been an integral part of local life. Products used for both food and beauty—such as jellies, juices, and cosmetics—are perfect as souvenirs. They are bountiful gifts filled with the warmth of Minami-Izu.
