We did the 25 min boat rive to the cave - coast was beautiful. You only go inside one cave but it was still cool. We did not have to wait - we bought our tickets and were able to immediately board the boat. I think they run every 30 minutes. Cool way to see the coastline. I don't think they had explanations of the tour in English - it was hard to hear what they were saying over the speaker system.

I visited this place on a public holiday. Unfortunately it was high tide on that day and as a result we were not able to take a boat ride. Otherwise there are multiple boat ride routes that you can choose from. If the boat rides are not operational, you can trek on the top of the cave to the mountain top for a good view.

You can check the morning of to make sure the tour is happening. There was some rain scheduled for the day I visited, but I was lucky that it didn't begin early and I was still able to go. The tour is quick and nothing about the boat is special, but the views from the water are very beautiful and magical feeling. Being inside the cave was really cool, there were people on the walkway at the top waving down to us. Everyone seemed happy to experience the beautiful nature.

My bar was set low and I was pleasantly surprised. The scenery was enough for me. The audio guide was in Japanese only and I don’t understand enough for it to make sense so all I had was the views and it was beautiful. The way the captain turned the boat around inside the cave was very impressive.

Stormy day with worse weather coming. Only one tour available. The staff sent boats out as soon as the boats filled to stay ahead of the weather. Our driver got the boat through tunnels and caves despite choppy sea. Good job. Easy transfer from bus.

Awesome quick tour.. All you need for the reasonable ¥1500. Going in to the cave wasn't expected.. Captain's skills were impressive.. Make shure of calm weather before you visit.. Cave's sealing is pretty low and waves won't permit boat's entry... It's totally worth doing it.. Strongly recommended!

This is well worth a stop. The cave is spectacular from the boat, great to see all the volcanic rock features up close. Just a 20 minute ride, boats leave every few minutes, tickets from the kiosk nearby, so quick and easy. Longer or sunset trips also offered.

The location is the main attraction of this hotel. They are right next to the Dogashima land crossing and ocean view rooms offer a beautiful scenery. There are very few hotels in this area so they do have the market cornered, so to speak. The properly is old and very much in need of repair. Water damaged exterior, paint peeling interior, dirty windows and rooms smell of mold. We paid the equivalent of a Tokyo/ Osaka 4-star hotel half-board for one night’s stay. The key difference being there there was no service provided by Dogashima Onsen Hotel: you pour your own drinks at happy hour, no meals included or futon preparation service. The pool was closed and the women’s sauna was not working during our visit, neither was mentioned by the front desk at check in. This is two weeks before the start of summer season. There is very minimal non-Japanese signage on the property. I read a little kanji so was able to get around, but it is clear the hotel primarily caters for domestic guests. It felt like we were promised a beautiful horse but received a donkey. I will not be staying here again.

I love this place! The staff is very kind and the view is top notch is a must if you want to visit Japan for sure!

The hotel has a very modern interior design which fascinated me but was able to retain the japanese culture through their room designs and amenities. Very nice place to stay overnight and had fun during the day at the beach or pool.

Old hotel, but the bathes, food and drinks are awesome!

Picture perfect seaside outdoor bath. Minus one star for cheesy elevator music playing throughout the hotel.

Spacious hotel with good quality spring water!

The place is literally falling apart.

Great rocky beach with swimming, snorkelling, scuba, fishing, SUP. Plenty of parking. Nice cafe. Quite busy in summer even though the access appears deserted. It's not privatized like some beaches around Izu. There's south and west facing areas for more options when the wind is up. My wife loved the snorkelling and saw lots of fish.

Beautiful area Beach is rough. Need to have water shoes Bring snorkeling gear There is a scenic trail 1.5km that goes from Futo to Tago

just beautiful ...but weather is too hot for us to scroll around, else it will be just fantastic.

Super nice place for snorkeling and diving. I love this place!!!

This place was excellent for a roadside stop. There was free parking before 10:00. I found that the southern portion was less occupied and a lot of fun to snorkel. There are lots of caves to explore. Lots of tropical fish that can be seen by snorkelers or divers. There is fresh water to wash your body and equipment off before leaving.

Clean water, few people, beautiful beach. Can not come here if you do not drive a car. No bus here

Awesome scenery, very cool geology (as pictured), great water but susceptible to strong waves and the rocky shore (no sand beach) make this more of a come-and-go location than a 'spend-an-entire-afternoon' destination. Parking located on the grass lawns just 100 m from the water is not well-managed and is, well, free. Parking right next to the water will cost you about 1000 yen.

Extensive shop with a focus on glass and a cafe with a limited menu. The museum was a bit expensive and looked small so we didn't go in. Lots of parking.

This place is tiny but very elegant. I enjoyed it very much, wish there were more options to eat though

Cute store. You can make crafts if that’s your thing. Lots of jewelry and fun little souvenir style stuff. Staff was friendly. Definitely recommend!

good objections, nice place

Wasabi museum. If you ever wanted to taste real wasabi and learn more about this fascinating plant, here is your chance. Also lots of wasabi-flavored food available, which is really excellent. Taste the wasabi-spiced squid if you are adventurous, or the senbei (wasabi crackers) if you are cautious. And look at the wasabi graters - they have わさび (wasabi) in miniature letters as the grating plate. Very impressive!

You can't take photos or touch the exhibits. Very boring place.

I charged my car for free here. Parking is free too!

When low tide you can cross to the other side of the Island. While you walk becareful because a lot of large stones. Is better to wear shoes.

Quite interesting. We got there in the end of the day and the sea was getting high at that time. We could not get to the end.

Check the website before visiting to make sure the land bridge will be visible that day. You can show up an hour, hour and a half earlier when the ocean is starting to become low tide. Wonderful place to spend a few hours!

My first experience of walking on low tide. It’s Beautiful . Recommend to wear waterproof boots or good sandals. It’s very rocky to walk bare foots plus lots of crab.

Quite a good place to hangout with girlfriend 😉😁 But you need to make sure about hotel bookings beforehand otherwise there is very low or no chance of getting a place to stay nearby if you are planning for few days trip. I would suggest to make a trip for few day so that you can visit major places around and also enjoy the evening sunset view which looks spectacular.

Very very cool when low tide lets you cross. You can find all kinds of crabs, snails and hermit crabs hiding in the pool of water left behind.

I couldn’t see the bridge at the time we went to. Highly recommend researching the time for low tide before visiting. The nature was beautiful though. I loved it.

Beautiful beach, largely protected from strong ocean waves and winds.

The water is clear without wave...is perfect to chilling after rush surfing day or just relaxing with your kid

A beautiful little beach with a fantastic ambiance. It’s hard to believe this is only a couple hours south of Tokyo and not in Okinawa or another tropical destination.

It's a small cove with gentle wave. Parking included use of toilet and shower. Not as rocky as other beaches in the area, so pretty nice to swim

The distant scenery looks nice but I didn't find the beach good enough to go into water.

Beautiful beach 😁

Super 👍👍👍

Nice hidden beach. Can enjoy snorkling and kayaking. Need car to reach here. Shower and rental shop available. We enjoyed the place.

Super nice little hidden beach. We came late september mid-week, it was empty and perfect weather

Need ticket to enter. Small rock beach. Crowded. Shower available. Perfect water for diving and rich fish variety

Love this place!

Worth to go here for snorkeling. Not too many people which is good.

Very nice place

(Translated by Google) 3.8 ・Even though a typhoon was approaching, the visibility was better than I expected. ・There were a few large fish, including snapper fish and others, searching the sand with their antennae for food. The snapper fish swam nearby for a while without fleeing, allowing for careful observation. I enjoyed seeing butterflyfish and vibrant blue and yellow fish. Smaller fish were found around the rock face on the right side facing the ocean, while larger fish seemed to be circling the entire area. The most exciting thing was a school of about 30 squids, each about 15cm long. They were very wary and fled when I got too close. ・There were almost no corals or sea anemones. ・Parking is by reservation only. Check availability on the website, print a ticket form from the Ticket Pia machine at a 7-Eleven, and pay at the register. The road to the parking lot is quite narrow. There's an old man at the entrance to the parking lot, so hand over your ticket. The ticket is large, so I folded it up, but it wasn't a problem at all. - The beach is full of large stones, making it difficult to walk on. If you're using a tent, it's a good idea to bring a thick picnic blanket or chair. The nearby kayaking tour took you to the island across the shore, where swimming is not prohibited. It's unclear whether snorkeling is permitted. There are three free outdoor showers, which is very convenient.

Rocky beach attached to a camping ground at one end and a dive shop at the other (western) end. Basic toilet facilities if you're not part of the camp site. We went there to snorkel and it was good towards the dive shop, but not the best we did in Izu. Check the prevailing winds before deciding to come here.

Small, beautiful and uncrowded beach. Great scenery, great water (when waves are calm) and a good deal of wildlife. Not bad for snorkeling, but not the best either. Free showers available!

(Translated by Google) This cove is a mecca for diving, where you can meet lots of fish, and the regulator air bubbles up from the water. Campgrounds and outdoor concerts are also held in the area, and it was fun to anchor here and take a bath from time to time.

(Translated by Google) The beach is about 3 minutes away from the parking lot. There is a toilet on the way and a water source in front of the beach, which is appreciated. However, although the toilet and water source are close, the rocky slope of the beach is a little difficult to walk with luggage because of the loose stones. The beach is small and the waves are gentle, and although there were not many fish, there were blue fish and cute fish, and the water was clear, so it was fun to snorkel leisurely. It gets deep quickly, so be careful with children.

The coast is a stone beach similar to Ukishima Beach, and there is no sandy beach. Be careful of small children by holding their hands to prevent them from falling. The sea was so beautiful! ✨ I went snorkeling, and there were spots where there were hundreds to thousands of beautiful fish, depending on the location, so it was a great experience.

The place is good for family gatherings and you could do barbecue. Still no loud music though

Great walk

Very nice little beach with abundance of beautiful stones, that I keep returning to over and over. Unlike east part of Izu, this side is very relaxed.

(Translated by Google) Uniquely in Western Izu, the beach faces due west, and the westerly wind scoops up the seawater, and in synchronization with the swells that send it into Suruga Bay, the waves are quite severe. Despite the blue sky, the severe wind that cuts your cheeks and makes it hard to stand in the middle of winter, and the waves that crash and crash with a roaring sound, sending up spray...The terrifying, rough waves are worth seeing in another sense.

It is said that the family commissioned Toshimitsu Tamura, a plasterer from Gunma, to complete the work, which took about five years, for the purpose of holding a memorial service for his parents. I felt the power of the dragon's work, the imagination of the three-dimensional plaster work, and the descriptive power of the watermark. If it's for a memorial service, we can't help it, but it's a bit of a shame that it's kept in a place where it can't be seen by many people, but we hope it continues to be kept with care.

(Translated by Google) This is a compact temple located in Nishiizu Town. I visited on the middle day of a three-day holiday in October 2024. When I went to the entrance, I was greeted by someone who appeared to be the wife of the temple, and she opened the main hall. The dragon and 500 arhats made of plaster on the ceiling of the main hall are a sight to behold. It is made three-dimensionally in places (reminiscent of a picture book), making it very impressive. The wife explained in great detail the origin of the product. People will be more interested in something if they have knowledge about it rather than looking at it vaguely. When I asked if it was possible to take photos, I was told that it was OK to take a few photos as long as I didn't use a flash on my smartphone. In addition to deterioration over time, due to the characteristics of the building, it is easily damaged, so it seems that efforts are being made to preserve it. There are some spots that look amazing in photos but aren't as good when you go there, but this one was even more amazing than I had imagined. Admission fee is 200 yen. The parking lot is free, so even large vehicles can park there without any hassle. If I had a chance, I would definitely like to visit again.

(Translated by Google) The standard way to visit Dogashima is to take a tour of the Dogashima Cave on a sightseeing boat, but today I decided to take the opportunity to watch the sunset at Dogashima. (Original) 堂ヶ島は、遊覧船での堂ヶ島洞窟巡りが定番ですが、今日は、タイミングで堂ヶ島で夕日を眺めて来ました。

(Translated by Google) Conveniently located in front of the bus stop bound for Shuzenji and Mishima. The Dogashima cruise I was looking forward to was canceled due to strong winds comparable to a typhoon, so I asked them about recommended spots with good views and spots to watch the sunset, and they kindly and accurately advised me. I wanted to eat lunch, so I heard about a restaurant that had good reviews, so I went there, and I'm glad I was able to eat some delicious local food. (Original) 修善寺、三島方面行きバス停の前、便利なロケーションにあり。 楽しみにしていた堂ヶ島クルーズが台風並みの強風で欠航したため、眺めの良いおすすめスポットや夕陽を見るのにおすすめスポットを聞いたところ、親切に的確にアドバイスしていただきました。 ランチを食べたかったので、評判のよいお食事処を聞いて、行ってみましたが、ご当地グルメを美味しく食べることができて良かったです。

(Translated by Google) Among the many hot springs in Nishiizu, Dogashima Onsen is the one that makes you feel glad you came. The Yuru Camp wrapped wagon parked next to the tourist office is a must-see for fans! (Original) 西伊豆の数ある温泉の中でも、堂ヶ島温泉は、「来てよかった」と思わせるところです。観光協会横に停めてあるゆるキャンのラッピングが施されたワゴンは、ファンなら必見！
