A very nice beach for surfers and to chill. At the time we went it was spring, so a lot of algae was mixed with the sand. The cliffs are also beautiful together with the beach and sea.

The Benzaiten Cape (弁財天岬) forms a natural barrier to large waves coming into the cove during a storm surge or typhoon, which has resulted in a cove that has a lovely beige-sand beach. Access to this cove is easiest if you can drive, which is approximately a 3-hour 30-minute drive from Tokyo. The cove is also accessible from Izukyo-Shimoda Station from where you can take a 45-minute bus ride and then take a 26-minute walk from the nearest bus stop. Despite the fishing industry working offshore of this beach, the beach itself and the waters are quite clean and free of any debris from the fishermen (or most any non-organic debris). Not all Japanese beaches are as nice, but I was impressed with how this particular community seems to have been able to strike a balance with the needs of industry, recreation, and tourism. Parking is available for free if you arrive early, public restrooms are available, and the beach was very nice on a par with Shirahama Beach. Compared to beaches in the Shonan area, Yumigahama Cove beach is much nicer! Check out the videos of Yumigahama Cove at the @pix4japan YouTube channel.

A very relaxing beach and far less crowded than Shirahama. It's beautiful in the afternoon abd becomes tranquil at sunset. Nothing to dislike.

Amazing beach. The sand was super soft and the water nice and warm. A lot less crowded compared to many other beaches, but is significantly harder to get to as you either need to drive to take a bus from the closest station at Shimoda.

Great spot with free parking in front of the beach! Toilets available but no open restaurants nearby.

We were on this beach in August 2019. Dirty beach and water, a lot of algae, very hot sand, it's easy to burn your feet.

amazing beach ☀️😎😁

There is a large paid parking lot - cost about 500 yen to stop there. 10 min walk to the lighthouse and shrine. There is a small cafe, gift shop and eating area at the entrance.

Good place for those who enjoy walking near the cliff or seeing the ocean scenery from the lighthouse. The place is open from 9am - 4pm. You will also find the 1st shrine build at cliff since 701Ad and the 2nd shrine that was build in 1903. You may get a charm from the shrine from 300yen onwards. The wind is pretty strong at the cliff so do take care while walking around it. The welcome centre have a cafeteria whine serve lunch and snack and a gift shop for you to buy souvenir from the park. You may travel to this location by purchasing a tokai bus pass from the tokai bus terminal opposite Izu shimoda train station.

There is a big welcome center next to the parking lot with food and drink options (seemed to be newly built). The edges at the cape are quite steep, so be careful. However I found the views from nearby Yusuga Park more impressive. Also note as of May 2024 closing time was already 16:00.

Fantastic place. Worth visiting as the view from the southern most top of Izu peninsula is just amazing. The ocean in front of you, the waves crashing down on the rocks, beautifully colored water, the high wind / breeze, cute little lighthouse-,can’t go up though, the shrine at the cliff end and at the tip - it is absolutely fantastic. Parking lot has many spots available (500 JPY). We saw a bus there as well but not sure about its frequency. There is a souvenir shop, a small restaurant with select few dishes, a few tables and chairs to settle down, toilets etc - all of which seems like pretty new, so sparklingly clean. The staff was standing right at the front gate of the small building (adjacent to parking spot) and graciously offered free umbrellas to carry till the end of Iro cape as it was drizzling a little bit. The hike is just 10 mins simple walk from parking spot. Kids can easily go. Fun fact: As is the practice with many Shinto shrines, the Iro shrine also has a mirror installed where one would keep deity. The understanding being that “A shrine’s mirror on an alter is often angled for the effect that the spirit of the kami is reflected within the person looking in the mirror.”

Wonderful scenery. Ocean views from the lighthouse. It was an awesome place to visit and appreciate more the beauty of nature. There is a shrine, spacious parking area and restaurant. There is no entrance fee, you only have to pay for the parking area.

A bit far from Tokyo, but definitely worth a visit if you are already in Shimoda city.

The snorkeling area is nice as it's an enclosed area surrounded mostly by rocks. You need to get quite a bit out to be deep enough to swim. You will definitely need some shoes for the water as there's sea urchins and sharp rocks that I would not suggest walking barefoot on. Once you're further out though, the water and marine life is really nice. Biggest negative is how crowded it is and having to arrive super early in the morning for parking. Most cars started waiting as early as 3am to get a parking spot. Then there's a lot of waiting until the boats start running at 8am with a huge queue of people waiting to board it. After arriving at the beach, everyone sets up their massive tents so it's a bit of a pain to walk and get around the rocks.

Hirizo beach is a very nice “beach”, just made out of only rocks everywhere, very small and so easily crowded. The view is very nice and snorkeling activity is ok, but too many staffs yelling at you not to swim here or there . Include also 2000¥ boat trip for one person and 2 min transportation to the beach.

Probably the best spot for snorkeling around Kanto area. However, you need to get to the port really early like 5am to get a parking lot and put your stuff to secure your spot in a line for a boat. Also, there will be so many people in a small area. A sand area is very limited. Other space is stones and rocks. You must take your chairs and/or air mat. Japanese people like to stay in tents so they’ll block your view.

That's incredible that you can find such a tropical place so relatively close to Tokyo. Arrived at Nakagi Port you can purchase for 1500 yen (as of 2018) a return transfer ticket, and boats are linking the bay every 5 minutes. However, beware the crowd of midsummer weekends. If possible go a little off season (like in mid September) and on a weekday.

Secluded little beach with a small cove for snorkeling. Lots of fish and coral. The beach is very small and can get crowded. It's made of rocks so foot protection is a necessity! Unless you bring folding chairs don't expect to lounge comfortably either. There are no facilities but the boat to the harbour goes every 10 minutes orso. Recommended if you're in the area and a little out of season!

Izu, shizuoka is really a good location during burning summer, crystal clear water and many more locations which will amaze you, there is a Cape aiai famous location for taking pair photos, sea and mountains of beautiful colours.

One of the best area for snorkeling in Kanno area.. There are very clear water and tropical fishes. Boat access only from Nakagi. Boat fee is 1500yen/person, parking 1000yen/vehicle. Once you paid boat fee, You can take boat many times for toilet, food... Because beach don't have anything. It takes 5min from Port to beach.

Was taking my nephew around Izu and stumbled on this spot that had an amazing scenic view worth a return for a hike. Cafe located on the spot was a pleasant surprise and had been opened only for a few months. Couple running it were very nice and as friendly as can be and place had some delicious offerings. Will definitely return and leisurely enjoys some coffee, ice cream and pastries.

I went here to see the sunset. I think it is one of the best place in Izu peninsula for sunset. In the shop you can taste spicy apple juice.

It is one of my favorite places on Earth, but it is extremely dangerous during strong winds.

It’s not open even here on Google maps should be open 24/7. We drove almost 2 hours to this place for a nice few, a coffee and a muffin. Unfortunately at 12 on a Tuesday it’s not open!

Scenic spot with amazing views of ocean and sunset. Great location for stargazing since this place hardly has any light pollution and becomes pitch dark after sunset.

From here you can experience the bird eye view of the hirizo beach from top.

nice sunset viewpoint 🌄

good😄

So happy memory.

Beautiful

Cheap food

Awesome !。

Soo beautiful and peaceful🌸😍 Went on March 2, 2025 A must visit place when you want to avoid crowds in Kawazu.

(Translated by Google) We arrived at 9am on a Saturday, just in time for the cherry blossoms. The parking lot at the roadside station was already maxed out, so I parked a little further east. It's nicer and more compact than Kawazu-cho. (Original) 桜のいいタイミングの土曜日の9時に到着。道の駅の駐車場は既にMAXだったので少し東に行ったところに止めました。河津町よりもコンパクトでいいですね。

Free botanical garden. It is quite nice and not crowded and after visiting the garden you can enjoy a delicious mango or pineapple juice. The walk in the garden can be quite hot in summer.

(Translated by Google) A free facility that occasionally hosts a beer garden in the summer. I visited a beer garden event featuring vendors from the surrounding area. The greenhouse botanical garden area has an abandoned feel. Since the vendors in the beer garden mainly serve main dishes, there weren't many snacks available, so it felt more like eating than drinking. I also had the unique experience of trying out different flavors with miracle fruit and tasting Gekkabijin shochu. (Original) 夏はたまにビアガーデンをやってる無料施設 周辺のお店が出店するビアガーデンイベントに伺いました。 温室の植物園エリアは廃墟感あります。 ビアガーデンは出店されてるお店が主食メニューをメインにしているため、オツマミメニューが少なくて飲むより食べるメインな感じでした。 ミラクルフルーツによる味変や、月下美人の焼酎を味わうといった珍しい体験もできました。

(Translated by Google) Previously, there was a charge, so I skipped it, but now that admission is free, I decided to go in and buy some cacti. There seems to be a parking fee from February 1st to March 15th during the Cherry Blossom Festival, and they say, ``Did you drive there? In that case, you will be charged a parking fee of 500 yen.'' Moreover, this parking lot is separate and there are no other cherry blossoms. Apparently you can't use it in the festival parking lot and have to pay a parking fee. When you enter from the entrance, there is a cafe space on the left, a sales corner behind it, and a greenhouse after passing through there. It seems like it uses the heat from the hot springs, so it's warm, but it may be rude to say this, but it's more like a jungle than a botanical garden. It looks like it has been left unmanaged and is allowed to grow and crawl as much as it wants.The roots have grown out and the plastic pots have been destroyed and the leaves are sticking out.In a sense, it recreates a jungle that has not been touched by humans, and is perfect for people who like the feeling of desolation. Maybe it's irresistible. (Original) 以前は有料だったのでスルーしましたが現在は入館料無料になったのでついでにサボテンでも買ってこようかと入ってみました。桜まつりの開催中2/1～3/15までは駐車料がかかるらしく「あなたたち車で着たの？それなら駐車料500円頂きます。」ってしかもここの駐車場は独立で他の桜まつりの駐車場では使えずまた駐車料金を払わないとならないそうです。入口から入ると左手にカフェスペースがありその奥に販売コーナー　そこを抜けると温室です。温泉の熱を利用しているらしく暖かいですがこんなことを言うのは失礼かもしれませんが、植物園というよりジャングルです。あまり管理せず放置状態のようで伸び放題　這い放題　根が張ってプラ鉢を破壊して出ている観葉などある意味人間の手の入っていないジャングルを再現していて荒廃感が好きな人には、たまらないのかもしれませんね。

(Translated by Google) Tourist spots that you can enjoy for free! It was a rainy day so I took advantage of it. Although the scale of the botanical garden is small, I couldn't help but be drawn to the maze-like structure that I could wander deeper and deeper into. In exchange for being able to watch it for free, I wanted to contribute to sales as much as possible, so in the end I tried out a trial set of mango juice and miracle fruit grown at the botanical garden. It was a very fun experience and I was personally very satisfied. It was a place with a nostalgic atmosphere that made me wish it was more crowded with people. (Original) 無料で楽しめる、観光スポット！雨の日だったので利用させていただきました。 植物園の規模としては小さいのですが、迷路のようにどんどん奥へ迷い込んでゆくつくりがたまりませんでした。 無料で見られる代わりに、なるべく売上に貢献したいと思い、最後には植物園で採れたマンゴージュースとミラクルフルーツの体験セットにトライ。 とても楽しい経験もでき、個人的には大満足でした。もっと人で賑わってほしい、そう思わずにはいられない、ノスタルジックな雰囲気のある場所でした。

(Translated by Google) 2023/02/25 It's hard to find the parking lot, but it looks like you can park along the east end. Is it only during the paid period? There will be someone to guide you, so please follow them. The parking lot near the venue is quite crowded during the cherry blossom festival, but this parking lot is a little-known spot. I was able to stop easily. You can also see the botanical garden for free, which is a good deal. The botanical garden is in pretty dilapidated condition. Compared to the banana crocodile garden and cactus park, it feels small in scale. It's free so it can't be helped, but I don't think it will last very long. (Original) 2023/02/25 駐車場の場所が分かりにくいですが、東側の端に並べて止める感じです。有料期間のみかな？案内の人がいるので従いましょう。 桜まつりの期間は会場近くの駐車場はかなり混みますが、ここの駐車場は割と穴場。すんなり停められました。無料で植物園も見れるのでお得。 植物園はかなりぼろがきてる。バナナワニ園やシャボテン公園と比べると規模も小さく感じる。無料だし仕方ないが、もうあまり長くは続かないかもなあ。

(Translated by Google) It is located near the cherry blossom trees along the Aono River. Admission is free, but parking during the Cherry Blossom Festival period costs 500 yen. I've been to other tropical botanical gardens many times, but it's been a while since I've been here. It is a facility that uses hot springs, and hot spring pipes are drawn into the house, making it ideal for a warm environment for plants. The facility has a retro Showa feel to it, but there are so many beautiful, colorful flowers that it felt like I was enjoying a forest bath. On the way home, I drank fresh pineapple juice from the parlor and it was delicious. There were also shelves and cactuses on sale at the shop, and potted Kawazu cherry blossoms outside. I was able to relax very well. (Original) 青野川沿いの桜並木から近い場所にあります。入園料は無料ですが桜祭の期間中の駐車場料金は500円掛かります。他の熱帯植物園には何回となく行きましたが久しぶりに入りました。温泉を利用した施設でハウス内には温泉パイプが引き込まれており暖かく植物の環境には最適ですね。昭和レトロ感のある施設ですが綺麗な色とりどりの花が一杯ありまるで森林浴を味わっている感じでした。帰りにはパーラーによりパイナップル生ジュースを飲み美味しかったです。売店には欄やシャボテン　　　外には河津桜の鉢植え等も販売していました。とても良く　くつろぐ事が出来ました。

(Translated by Google) For several years now, admission has been made free of charge. Although it is a small facility, we cultivate a wide variety of tropical plants. It seems like the gardens haven't been kept up with the maintenance lately, and there are many overgrown branches and leaves that are noticeable, as well as dead plants that have been left unattended, but it's still worth seeing. In addition to selling ornamental plants and souvenirs near the entrance, you can also enjoy fresh juice in the parlor next to the entrance. Also, there are friendly cats in the park, which are soothing (lol) Transportation in the Shimokamo area is poor, and it can be difficult to get there if you don't have a car, but the entrance fee is free, so if you have a chance to go nearby, I think it's worth a visit. (Original) 数年前から入場料金を無料にして解放しています。 小規模な施設ですが多種多様な熱帯植物を栽培しています。 最近では手入れが追いついていないようで、伸び過ぎた枝や葉が目立つ他、枯れた植物が放置されていたりと気になる点も多々ありますが、見応えは充分にあります。 入口付近では観葉植物や土産物を販売している他、入口脇のパーラーで生ジュースを楽しめます。 また、園内には人懐っこい猫がいて癒されます（笑） 下加茂地区は交通の便が悪く、車が無ければなかなか行くのは大変ですが入園料無料ですので近くに行く機会があれば一度足を運んでみても良いと思います。

Nice hike

(Translated by Google) I headed from Yumigahama and Aigahama. While looking out at the ocean, head towards the entrance of the hiking trail. Along the way, you'll be divided into two courses: one with many stairs and the other on a gentle path, but if you're not confident in your legs, we recommend the gentle course! There were no people around and I was able to walk in the middle of nature and it felt very nice. We arrived in about 20 minutes one way! This is a recommended spot ♪ (Original) 弓ヶ浜、逢ヶ浜方面から向かいました。海を見ながらハイキングコースの入り口に向います。 途中で、階段が多いコースと、なだらかな道を行くコースにわかれますが、足腰に自信のない方は、なだらかなコースをおすすめします！ 人もいなくて、大自然の中を散歩できて、とても気持ち良かったです。 片道20分くらいで到着しました！オススメのスポットです♪

(Translated by Google) Good promenades and hiking trails. There are signposts so you won't get lost. I think the roads are well maintained and there aren't many steep spots if you choose. It was after a rainy day, so it was muddy in places, but overall I felt safe walking. (Original) ほどよい遊歩道、ハイキングコース。道標もあり迷うことはなさそう。道も選べば険しいところは少なく、よく整備されていると思います。雨の日のあとだったのでところどころぬかるみはありましたが、総じて安心して歩けました。

(Translated by Google) Visited on June 30th. One of the Izu Peninsula UNESCO Global Geoparks. I knew it was a little too hot to walk in Izu this season, but I was interested, so I went for a walk. There is a parking lot. There are a lot of bushes, so the sunlight isn't too bad. The path is well maintained, and there were no difficult places to walk. There were already lots of cicadas chirping! After about 15 minutes, the beach came into view... the sea came into view, I could smell the salt, and crabs and shellfish were moving around. It was a really fun place. The view was also beautiful, with a wide, wide seaside view. It's best not to go on a bad weather day. (Original) 6月30日訪問。伊豆半島ユネスコ世界ジオパークのひとつ。 伊豆を歩くには、少し暑すぎる季節とは分かっていたけど、興味があった為、歩いてみた。 駐車場有り。 茂みが多く、太陽の日差しはそんなにつらくない。 整備はされていて、歩きにくい場所も特になかった。 もう、セミがいっぱい鳴いている！ 15分程で、浜が出てきて…海が見えてきて、 潮の香りがして、カニや貝が動いていて、 なかなか楽しい場所だった。 景色も、広い広い海沿いが見渡せて、美しい。 天気の悪い日は、行かない方が賢明。

(Translated by Google) The most fun coastline promenade in Minami Izu. I also enjoyed it as an attraction! There are several courses available, so I would like to visit several times at different times and seasons. I took the coastal course to the observatory, and on the way back I went down to the coast, walked carefully along the coast, and then climbed up to the parking lot in 10 minutes. When the weather is bad or the waves are rough. It is also best not to do so after rain, as it can be quite dangerous underfoot. The view on a sunny day was amazing! *Photos are in the order of the courses listed above. (Original) 南伊豆では1番楽しい、海岸線の遊歩道。 アトラクションとしても楽しめました！ コース取りもいくつか出来ますので、季節や時間を変えて何度か訪れたいと思いました。 自分は海岸コースで展望台まで行き、帰りは海岸まで降りて、海岸沿いを気をつけながら歩き、そこから10分で駐車場まで登るコースにしました。 天気の悪い時や波の荒い時。 また雨の後などは足元が相当危険ですのでやめた方が良いです 晴れの日の眺望は最高でした！ ※写真は上記コース順です

(Translated by Google) It was about a 20 minute walk from Yumigahama. The return trip was about a 30 minute walk. The promenade is divided into the ``Rakuraku Course'' and the ``Kengyaku Course'', and we used the Easy Course on the way there and the Kenkyaku Course on the way back. The healthy walking course has ups and downs, but there is no particular view, so I don't think there is any need to force yourself to use the healthy walking course. (Original) 弓ケ浜から少し早歩きで約20分程でした。帰りは普通に歩いて30分程でした。遊歩道は途中で『らくらくコース』と『健脚コース』に分かれていて、行きはらくらくコース、帰りは健脚コースを使用しました。健脚コースはアップダウンがあるけど眺望は特に無いので、無理に健脚コースを使う必要は無いかと思います。

I went here on a cloudy day. The beach was very serene and isolated. Such a great place to disconnect and realign your chakras. I wish locals and those who visit kept it cleaner though. There was some random trash and debris in the sand.

(Translated by Google) I went on July 26th. The boat going to Hirizo Beach was suspended due to the typhoon, so the host introduced us to the Tsumara coast, but there was an event today, so we decided to go to the Koura coast. Parking fee was 1000 yen, so I went kayaking in a hurry and applied to be a kayak guide who specializes in surface kayaking in Minami Izu. I'm glad I had a kayak in a hurry. He gave me a safety explanation in advance. Then he helped me find a place to snorkel. I couldn't see the beautiful sea due to the typhoon, but I think it would be beautiful on a sunny day. There is a toilet. I never change clothes. (Original) 7月26日に行きました。台風でヒリゾ浜に行く船運休で、宿の方から妻良海岸を紹介してくれましたが、本日イベントがあり、子浦海岸にしました。 駐車料金1000円、急遽カヤックしまして、サーフェスカヤックの南伊豆専門のカヤックガイドさんに申し込みました。 急遽でカヤックがあってよかったです。 事前に安全説明してくれました。それからシュノーケルできる場所を探してくれました。 台風で綺麗な海を見れなかったのですが、天気がいい日に、綺麗かと思います。 トイレがあります。着替えることがないです。

(Translated by Google) I signed up for the nearby KOURABASE SUP tour. We launched from the sandy beach of Koura Beach, and went through small cracks and caves around Tsumara, and then went out from the breakwater and headed north along the steep coast to the strange sight of the Tatsuzaki snake raft and the caves beyond that. We enjoyed a total of about 10km of exploration (!) on the SUP. Since it's from the sandy beach, it's easy to enter, and even in the bay, which is almost completely flat water, there are quite a few caves and waterways, so even beginners can enjoy SUP. The problem is the poor access. No matter where you come from, you can either go down the E70 to Shimoda and go clockwise along the coast, or go from Shuzenji to Toi and go counterclockwise. Either way, it seems difficult except in the early morning. Also, since it's a weathered lava coast, there are quite a few points where you could get injured if you fall into the water, and the risk of bursting cannot be ignored when inflating. In addition, there are some local rules for sailing in the bay to take into consideration fishing boats and anglers, so we recommend signing up for a local shop tour to ensure safety. (Original) すぐ近くにあるKOURABASEのSUPツアーでエントリー。子浦海水浴場の砂浜から出艇して、妻良まわりの小さな割れ目や洞窟などを潜り抜けたり、さらに防波堤から外に出て切り立った海岸沿いを北上して龍崎の蛇くだりの奇景やその先の洞窟まわりまで訪れる、トータル10km余りの探検(！)SUPを堪能しました。 砂浜からなのでエントリは楽だし、ほぼ完全フラットウォーターの湾内でも洞窟や水路などが結構あるので、初心者レベルでも充分にSUPを楽しめそう。 ネックはアクセスの悪さ。どこから来るにしてもE70を下田まで下って海沿いを時計回りで進むか、修善寺から土肥へ抜けて反時計回りで進むか。いずれにしても早朝以外は難渋しそう。 また風化した溶岩の海岸なので浅瀬・暗礁っぽくなっていて万が一落水するとケガしそうなポイントもそれなりにあって、またインフレではバーストの危険性も無視できず。さらに漁船や釣り人を考慮して湾内航行にはローカルルールもいくつかあるので、安全に楽しむためにも地元のショップツアーに申し込むことをお勧めします。

(Translated by Google) Tsumara Bay was created when the sea floor rose, and there are many strange-shaped rocks, caves, caves, and snorkeling spots.The entrance to the bay is narrow, so waves do not enter, and there is still a lot of rich nature left. You can see part of it from Koura Beach, but you can also go around it by kayak or SUP. (Original) 妻良湾は、海底が隆起して出来た事で、奇岩や洞門、洞窟やシュノーケリングポイントがたくさんあり、湾の入り口が狭いので、波が入らず豊かな自然がまだたくさん残っている場所です 子浦海水浴場からも一部を見ることが出来ますが、カヤックやSUPで周ることも出来ます

(Translated by Google) I visited in spring, a little outside of the tourist season. I went with my Shiba Inu and enjoyed the beach, the town, and the Hiyoriyama promenade. Everyone in the village was friendly, so my Shiba Inu, who has a guard dog personality, seemed to be able to relax and have fun. I'll definitely come back! (Original) 観光シーズンからは少しずれた春頃に訪れました。柴犬と一緒に行って、砂浜や街中、日和山の遊歩道を楽しみました。集落の皆さんがフレンドリーだったので、番犬気質のウチの柴犬もゆったり楽しく過ごせていたようです。また遊びに行きます！

(Translated by Google) During swimming season, a kind man stands at the beach lifeguard station, watching over the beach. There were no lifeguards on duty. For lunch, there are restaurants serving pizza and curry rice, as well as a shop selling bento boxes. Drinks are available from vending machines. The waves are calm. As you face the sea, the pebble beach on the left (in the shallow water) is home to many fish, so we recommend bringing along goggles. This is also the starting point for SUP tours, where you can explore caves and snorkel. It is a quiet and secluded spot. (August 2025) (Original) 海水浴シーズンは、砂浜の監視所で優しいおじさんが浜辺を見守ってくれています。ライフセーバーはいませんでした。ランチはピザやカレーライスを出すお店と、お弁当を売っているお店があります。飲み物は自販機あり。 波は穏やかです。海に向かって左手の小石の浜辺（浅いところ）には魚がたくさん群れているので、水中メガネの持参をお勧めします。 洞窟巡りやシュノーケリングができるSUPツアーの発着点もこちら。奥ゆかしく空いています。（2025年8月）

(Translated by Google) There is a breakwater offshore, so it's fine even on days with small waves. It's nice to just relax on the sandy beach, but the sea kayaking tours and SUP experience tours offered by nearby shops were very appealing and allowed me to fully enjoy the Izu Sea. (Original) 沖に堤防があるので、ちょっとした波のある日でもここは大丈夫です。砂浜でくつろぐのもいいですが、近くのショップがやってるシーカヤックツアーや、SUP体験ツアーはとっても魅力的なツアーで伊豆の海を満喫できました。

It's a good beach with sable rocks. The water is relatively clear and quite clean. I would recommend this to families that are exploring the area! If the boats are not working for Hirizo, this beach is a perfect substitute. For camping I recommend the one in Iruma beach, just 10 min away by car.

If you like clean ocean, a very quiet and tranquile atmosphere, this is the place for a quick stop. I usually love to visit small towns in countryside, but this particular place was the most memorable.

Really nice for snorkeling. Free.

(Translated by Google) I went on a tour for the first time in a while! Although it's October, it's still hot, but it's off-season. However, since it is located at the southern tip of the Izu Peninsula, the sea water is clean and it is a quiet and relaxing place. (Original) 久しぶりにツーリングで来てみた！10月だけどまだまだ暑いがシーズンオフ状態。　ただ伊豆半島南端地だけに海水は綺麗だし　静かで落ち着く場所です。

(Translated by Google) I can't go now. There is a sign warning of falling rocks, and at the same time there is a large fence. I guess there are a lot of people who go without permission. There was a columnar joint on the way and I was aiming for that, but I had to settle for seeing it from a distance. (Original) 現在、いくことができません。落石注意の看板があると同時に、大きな柵があります。無断で行く人が多いんだろうね。途中に柱状節理があってそちらが目当てだったのですが、遠くからで我慢しました。

(Translated by Google) I went in April. It's about a 4-5 minute walk along the promenade. The water around the promenade was also very clear, and we could see puffer fish and other fish swimming around. You can also enjoy the promenade itself. When you get to the beach, it's a little difficult to walk because there are a lot of rocks, but the water is very clear. I want to come again in the summer (Original) 4月に行きました。 遊歩道を4〜5分ほど歩いた先にあります。 遊歩道の周りも透明度が高く、フグや他の魚が泳いでいるのが見えました。 遊歩道自体も楽しめます。 浜に着くと、石がゴロゴロしているので若干歩きにくいですが、やはりとにかく水の透明度が高い。 夏にまた来たいです

(Translated by Google) Visited on 20190103AM. We were blessed with good weather and were able to relax. The sea is highly transparent and the breakwater is safe to walk on during the day. There is a parking lot (charges apply depending on the season), and the restrooms are clean and tidy. (Original) 20190103AM訪問。天候にも恵まれのんびり出来ました。海は透明度高く、防波堤も昼間は歩いてもいいようです。駐車場あり(季節によっては有料)、トイレも清掃されて綺麗です。

Stopped for 5 mins and climbed to the top of the hill. Nice view of the coast.

You'll get one of the best views on Izu Peninsula here, 24/7.

Spectacular views. Worth climbing a few stairs!

Beautiful scenery! And not far from Tokyo. A great visit, with amazing Mt. Fuji view!

The photos speak for themselves.

One of the best place in Izu-Shi. Best views. Great view of Pacific Ocean.

Amazing Place & wonderful view!! Izu Peninsula 🌊 i Love this Place

the place for ALOE soft cream to try

(Translated by Google) Halo-halo with Kidachi Aloe pulp (aloe soft serve ice cream on top of matcha shaved ice), soft serve ice cream, Kidachi Aloe throat candy, Aloise soap (full body beauty transparent soap frame), Kidachi Aloe tea, Aloise bath (Kidachi Aloe bath salts), Aloe is a wonderful food. There is also a parking lot You can go by bus from Izukyu Shimoda Station. There was a dried fish shop on the other side of the road. Get off at the Hanakarien-mae bus stop. Along the way, Yumigahama is also beautiful.

(Translated by Google) I bought the aloe soft serve ice cream, which was a little bitter, sweet, and delicious. I also bought some aloe vera, which is for medicinal purposes but seems to be good for the body if you eat a little bit of it. (Original) アロエソフトクリーム、少し苦く甘くて美味し買ったです。アロエも購入、薬用だけどすこし食べると体にいいみたいです。

(Translated by Google) Hello, I'm Junjun, a YouTuber who traveled around Japan. Aloe is rare. I've scouted out different kinds. Behind the prickly texture, there are apparently health benefits. There's also aloe soft serve. It tastes like a light Ramune. If you touch an aloe, say: Ouch! That's the kind of person I am. (Original) はいどうも日本一周旅したYoutubeやってる（名前はジュンジュン）です アロエとは珍しい いろんな種類を偵察とげとげしい裏には健康効果が、期待できるそうな アロエソフトもあるさ 薄いラムネみたいな味 アロエに触ったらこう言おう アウチ！ 俺はこいう人間だ

(Translated by Google) 2025.6 Visited as a tourist This is a shop that cultivates and processes aloe They also sell aloe seedlings for decoration and for eating I bought aloe candy and aloe soft serve ice cream The soft serve ice cream was a bargain at ¥330 and the aloe flavor was good (Original) 2025.6 観光で訪問 アロエを栽培加工してるお店です 鑑賞用や食用のアロエの苗も販売してます アロエキャンディとアロエソフトクリームを購入 ソフトクリームは¥330とお買い得でアロエの味も良かったです

(Translated by Google) They kindly explained the benefits of aloe vera to me. Try Aloe Soft and Halo Halo! (Original) アロエの効能を親切に教えてくれました。 アロエソフト、ハロハロをお試しあれ！

(Translated by Google) I've been using it for a long time. It's been a while since I went to a store! Contains simple Vaseline and aloe extract My favorite is the solid oil-type one from Alloys! There are many other things out there. Also recommended for people with sensitive skin. I feel more secure with products like this than using expensive ones. You can also buy it on the official website Rakuten! When I entered the store, there were many employees. I feel like I have to buy something...(lol) We also have aloe soft serve ice cream. If you go to the back of the store, you will see that they are also cultivating aloe vera. I would like you to stop by. I don't know if it's because I bought a lot of extras. I was also given an oil cream to carry around (^^) (Original) 昔から愛用してます。 店舗に行くのは久々でした！ シンプルにワセリンとアロエエキスが入った アロイズのオイルタイプの固形のものがお気に入りです！ その他いろんなものがでています。 敏感肌のかたにもおすすめです。 下手に高いもの使うよりこういう製品のが安心感あります。 公式HP楽天でも買えます！ 店内入ると従業員のかたが多いので 何かしら買わないといけない雰囲気はありますが…(笑) アロエソフトクリームもあり 店内奥に進むとアロエ栽培もしてるので 是非立ち寄ってもらいたいです。 おまけで沢山買ったからか分かりませんが 持ち歩きのオイルクリームもいただけました(^^)

(Translated by Google) A fence has been built on the western embankment, which protrudes further offshore, making it impossible to enter. There may not be any difference in fishing results on the east embankment, but I was always catching fish on the west embankment, and when the coronavirus calmed down, I couldn't catch them, so I was very disappointed. Be careful if you are heading towards the west embankment. (Original) より沖にせり出している西側の堤防は柵が出来てしまい、入れなくなってしまいました。 東の堤防でも釣果に差はないかもしれないけど、西側の堤防にいつも入っており、コロナも落ち着き行ったら入れなかったので、滅茶苦茶ガッカリ。 西側の堤防を目指してる方は注意しましょう。

(Translated by Google) I like the environment. (Original) 環境が気に入っています。

I went here on a cloudy day. The beach was very serene and isolated. Such a great place to disconnect and realign your chakras. I wish locals and those who visit kept it cleaner though. There was some random trash and debris in the sand.

(Translated by Google) I went on July 26th. The boat going to Hirizo Beach was suspended due to the typhoon, so the host introduced us to the Tsumara coast, but there was an event today, so we decided to go to the Koura coast. Parking fee was 1000 yen, so I went kayaking in a hurry and applied to be a kayak guide who specializes in surface kayaking in Minami Izu. I'm glad I had a kayak in a hurry. He gave me a safety explanation in advance. Then he helped me find a place to snorkel. I couldn't see the beautiful sea due to the typhoon, but I think it would be beautiful on a sunny day. There is a toilet. I never change clothes. (Original) 7月26日に行きました。台風でヒリゾ浜に行く船運休で、宿の方から妻良海岸を紹介してくれましたが、本日イベントがあり、子浦海岸にしました。 駐車料金1000円、急遽カヤックしまして、サーフェスカヤックの南伊豆専門のカヤックガイドさんに申し込みました。 急遽でカヤックがあってよかったです。 事前に安全説明してくれました。それからシュノーケルできる場所を探してくれました。 台風で綺麗な海を見れなかったのですが、天気がいい日に、綺麗かと思います。 トイレがあります。着替えることがないです。

(Translated by Google) I signed up for the nearby KOURABASE SUP tour. We launched from the sandy beach of Koura Beach, and went through small cracks and caves around Tsumara, and then went out from the breakwater and headed north along the steep coast to the strange sight of the Tatsuzaki snake raft and the caves beyond that. We enjoyed a total of about 10km of exploration (!) on the SUP. Since it's from the sandy beach, it's easy to enter, and even in the bay, which is almost completely flat water, there are quite a few caves and waterways, so even beginners can enjoy SUP. The problem is the poor access. No matter where you come from, you can either go down the E70 to Shimoda and go clockwise along the coast, or go from Shuzenji to Toi and go counterclockwise. Either way, it seems difficult except in the early morning. Also, since it's a weathered lava coast, there are quite a few points where you could get injured if you fall into the water, and the risk of bursting cannot be ignored when inflating. In addition, there are some local rules for sailing in the bay to take into consideration fishing boats and anglers, so we recommend signing up for a local shop tour to ensure safety. (Original) すぐ近くにあるKOURABASEのSUPツアーでエントリー。子浦海水浴場の砂浜から出艇して、妻良まわりの小さな割れ目や洞窟などを潜り抜けたり、さらに防波堤から外に出て切り立った海岸沿いを北上して龍崎の蛇くだりの奇景やその先の洞窟まわりまで訪れる、トータル10km余りの探検(！)SUPを堪能しました。 砂浜からなのでエントリは楽だし、ほぼ完全フラットウォーターの湾内でも洞窟や水路などが結構あるので、初心者レベルでも充分にSUPを楽しめそう。 ネックはアクセスの悪さ。どこから来るにしてもE70を下田まで下って海沿いを時計回りで進むか、修善寺から土肥へ抜けて反時計回りで進むか。いずれにしても早朝以外は難渋しそう。 また風化した溶岩の海岸なので浅瀬・暗礁っぽくなっていて万が一落水するとケガしそうなポイントもそれなりにあって、またインフレではバーストの危険性も無視できず。さらに漁船や釣り人を考慮して湾内航行にはローカルルールもいくつかあるので、安全に楽しむためにも地元のショップツアーに申し込むことをお勧めします。

(Translated by Google) Tsumara Bay was created when the sea floor rose, and there are many strange-shaped rocks, caves, caves, and snorkeling spots.The entrance to the bay is narrow, so waves do not enter, and there is still a lot of rich nature left. You can see part of it from Koura Beach, but you can also go around it by kayak or SUP. (Original) 妻良湾は、海底が隆起して出来た事で、奇岩や洞門、洞窟やシュノーケリングポイントがたくさんあり、湾の入り口が狭いので、波が入らず豊かな自然がまだたくさん残っている場所です 子浦海水浴場からも一部を見ることが出来ますが、カヤックやSUPで周ることも出来ます

(Translated by Google) I visited in spring, a little outside of the tourist season. I went with my Shiba Inu and enjoyed the beach, the town, and the Hiyoriyama promenade. Everyone in the village was friendly, so my Shiba Inu, who has a guard dog personality, seemed to be able to relax and have fun. I'll definitely come back! (Original) 観光シーズンからは少しずれた春頃に訪れました。柴犬と一緒に行って、砂浜や街中、日和山の遊歩道を楽しみました。集落の皆さんがフレンドリーだったので、番犬気質のウチの柴犬もゆったり楽しく過ごせていたようです。また遊びに行きます！

(Translated by Google) During swimming season, a kind man stands at the beach lifeguard station, watching over the beach. There were no lifeguards on duty. For lunch, there are restaurants serving pizza and curry rice, as well as a shop selling bento boxes. Drinks are available from vending machines. The waves are calm. As you face the sea, the pebble beach on the left (in the shallow water) is home to many fish, so we recommend bringing along goggles. This is also the starting point for SUP tours, where you can explore caves and snorkel. It is a quiet and secluded spot. (August 2025) (Original) 海水浴シーズンは、砂浜の監視所で優しいおじさんが浜辺を見守ってくれています。ライフセーバーはいませんでした。ランチはピザやカレーライスを出すお店と、お弁当を売っているお店があります。飲み物は自販機あり。 波は穏やかです。海に向かって左手の小石の浜辺（浅いところ）には魚がたくさん群れているので、水中メガネの持参をお勧めします。 洞窟巡りやシュノーケリングができるSUPツアーの発着点もこちら。奥ゆかしく空いています。（2025年8月）

(Translated by Google) There is a breakwater offshore, so it's fine even on days with small waves. It's nice to just relax on the sandy beach, but the sea kayaking tours and SUP experience tours offered by nearby shops were very appealing and allowed me to fully enjoy the Izu Sea. (Original) 沖に堤防があるので、ちょっとした波のある日でもここは大丈夫です。砂浜でくつろぐのもいいですが、近くのショップがやってるシーカヤックツアーや、SUP体験ツアーはとっても魅力的なツアーで伊豆の海を満喫できました。

(Translated by Google) A small shrine nestled in the magnificent landscape A walk along the cliffs of Irozaki Cape suddenly reveals a small shrine. Known as Kumano Shrine, it sits quietly, almost like a part of nature, surrounded by the vast ocean and powerful cliffs. While surprising to find it here, its presence in the rugged landscape is all the more striking. The shrine itself isn't particularly large, nor does it have the flashy charm of a tourist spot. However, stopping here, listening to the breeze from the cliffs and the sounds of the sea, naturally calms the soul. While many visitors visit for the Irozaki Lighthouse and stunning views, discovering this small shrine's home makes the walk that much more enriching. It's a unique experience, where nature and faith intersect. (Original) 《壮大な景観の中に溶け込む、小さな神の居場所》 石廊崎の断崖を歩いていると、ふと現れる小さな祠。熊野神社と呼ばれるこの場所は、広大な海と力強い岩壁の風景に包まれながら、まるで自然の一部のようにひっそりと佇んでいます。「こんなところに？」と思う意外さと同時に、荒々しい景観の中にあるからこそ余計に存在感を放っていました。 祠そのものは決して大きくはなく、観光地らしい派手さもありません。しかし断崖の風や海の音に耳を澄ませながら立ち寄ると、自然と心が落ち着いていくように感じられました。 石廊崎灯台や絶景を目当てに訪れる人が多い中、この小さな神の居場所に気づけると、散策がより豊かなものになります。大自然と信仰が交わる、石廊崎ならではの体験でした。

(Translated by Google) Kumano Shrine is located at the tip of Irozaki. This shrine is located at the southernmost tip of the Izu Peninsula, which juts out into the Pacific Ocean. More than the mystery of the shrine attached to the rock, I was overwhelmed by the splendid view of the ocean. (Original) 石廊崎の突端に熊野神社があります。 太平洋に突き出た伊豆半島の最南端にある神社です。 岩にくっついた神社の不思議さよりも、海の絶景のすばらしさに圧倒されました。

(Translated by Google) It's a little far from the parking lot, but it's a nice walk. I recommend wearing comfortable shoes. There are some steep stairs along the way. As it's the southernmost point of the Izu Peninsula, the view is amazing! (Original) 駐車場から少し距離がありますが、良いウォーキングになります。歩きやすい靴で行くことをおすすめします。途中、急な階段などありますので。伊豆半島最南端ということもあり、眺めはいいですね！

(Translated by Google) Visited in the afternoon on January 1, 2025. Passing by Irozaki Lighthouse and coming down to the tip of the cape?! An amazing view comes into view right before your eyes. It's located further beyond Ishimuro Shrine. A wonderful place. (Original) 2025.01.01　午後に訪問です。 石廊崎灯台の横を通り、岬の先の方降りてくると？！眼前に凄い景色が入って来ます。 石室神社の更に先にあります。素晴らしい場所です。

(Translated by Google) ★9km one-way trip, Oshizu's voyage of love★ Oshizu, the daughter of a village headman who lived in Nagatsuro near Irozaki, and Kokichi, a fisherman, fell in love despite their different social status, in an Edo-era Romeo and Juliet situation. As expected, the two were torn apart by their parents, and Kokichi was exiled to the distant Mikomoto Island to prevent them from meeting. The two, who were interested in each other, continued their "remote romance" by lighting a fire every night to make sure each other was safe. However, one night, she couldn't see Kokichi's fire, and Oshizu couldn't calm down, thinking, "Maybe he's ignoring my message?!" Unable to stay still any longer, Oshizu rowed a small boat. Then they head to Mikomoto Island. The sea also plays a part in the production, creating a storm that quickly reaches the climax. Though Oshizu is concerned about her social status, she manages to reach the island with determination and prayer. In a development that is like a romantic drama, her parents finally give in and the two are happily united. The current shrine is said to be the place where Oshizu lit the fire. And it is only natural that a shrine with such origins is considered a "power spot for matchmaking." Today, a troubled girl visits to pray for love. [Enshrined deity] Susanoo-no-Mikoto / Susanoo no Mikoto One of the most violent people in Japanese mythology. There are many anecdotes about him, but he seems to have spent his later years happily with his wife. This was originally a shrine to Kumano Gongen, but due to the separation of Shinto and Buddhism during the Meiji period, it was renamed Kumano Shrine. It is a shrine within the grounds of Ishimuro Shrine.

(Translated by Google) We recommend reading the story of Oshizu and Kokichi on the Ishimuro Shrine website of the Japan Lore Encyclopedia website before visiting. Let's look at Mikomotojima while remembering the old days when, after being separated, Oshizu would light a fire every night at Irozaki, and Kokichi would light a fire at Mikomotojima to check on each other's safety. (Original) お静と幸吉の物語を日本伝承大鑑HPの石室神社で読んでからの訪問をおすすめします。離れ離れになったお静は石廊崎で毎晩火を焚き、幸吉は神子元島で火を焚いてお互いの無事を確かめ合っていた昔を思い浮かべながら神子元島を眺めましょう。

(Translated by Google) A small shrine is enshrined at the southernmost tip of the Izu Peninsula. This shrine tells the love story of Kokichi and Oshizuka, who lived in this area long ago. Oshizu, the daughter of a landowner living in Nagatsuro near Irozaki, falls in love with Kokichi, a fisherman, but their love is not allowed due to their different social status, and Kokichi is banished to Mikomotojima. Oshizu, who could not forget Kokichi, lit a fire at the tip of Irozaki every night and confirmed her love for Kokichi on Mikomotojima. One night, Oshizu, worried that she could not see the fire on Mikomotojima, headed for Mikomotojima in a small boat during a storm, but was almost shipwrecked by the rough seas, but after praying wholeheartedly to God, she arrived safely at Mikomotojima, and the story goes that their love was fruitful and they lived happily ever after. The place where Kumano Shrine is enshrined is said to be the place where Oshizu used to burn fire, and for this reason it has come into the limelight as a power spot for success in love, and there is no end to the number of couples who hang up votive tablets there in hopes of success in love. (Original) 伊豆半島の最南端に小さな祠が祀られています。 この祠には、昔この付近に住んでいた【幸吉】と【お静】の恋物語が伝わっています。 石廊崎近くの長津呂に住む名主の娘･お静が、漁師の幸吉に恋をしますが、身分の違いから二人の恋は許されず、幸吉は、神子元島に流されてしまいました。 幸吉を忘れられないお静は、毎夜石廊崎の先端で火を炊き、神子元島の幸吉と愛を確かめ合っていました。 ある晩、神子元島の火が見えない事を心配したお静は、嵐の中小舟で神子元島に向かいましたが大荒れの海に難破しそうになりますが、一心に神様に祈ったところ無事神子元島に辿り着き、二人の恋は実り幸せに暮らしたと語り継がれています。 熊野神社が祀られている場所は、お静が火を炊いていた場所と云われ、この事から恋愛成就のパワースポットとして脚光を浴び、恋愛成就を願い絵馬を掛けていくカップルが後を絶ちません。
