Top 50 things to do and attractions in Izu

I came at 11 a.m. on August 15, 2025. I had to wait in line for about 1.5 hours for the chairlift, and it was incredibly hot with strong sun. Be sure to prepare for the long wait by bringing a hat, water, and a UV protection umbrella. Once you're up there, the weather is clear, and the mountain is beautiful. The walk around the mountains takes about 20 to 30 minutes

This is a beautiful mountain(that is pretty small) where, on the top of the mountain, Mt.Fuji is clearly visible. There is a shooting range(bow and arrow) in the crater(with a lot of greenery) and a climbing chairlift from which you can reach the top of the mountain from the bottom. There is also an ice cream shop on the top of the mountain with a small seating area. I do not think it is possible to hike this mountain as it is very steep.

Today was mountain climbing day! And what better mountain to traverse than the mountain that was featured in the anime 'Your Name" Mount Omuro is a very large and fun Mountain filled with lots of great views and places to walk. A full 1 hour walk around and see as far as the sky will allow you. It was a very enjoyable hike which was started and capped with a fun ride on the Rope way. A very popular destination as when leaving, the line had tripled in size! I recommend going early just as the Mount opens to avoid the 1hr wait time some have observed before.

Mt. Omuro (大室山) is a spectacular, extinct volcano in Shizuoka with panoramic views, a crater you can walk around, and fun attractions like archery, gift shops, and tasty snacks. Chairlifts provide access to the summit—just check wind conditions before visiting! At only ¥1000 for the ride, this is one of the best-value scenic spots in Japan. (5/5) Full Review Mt. Omuro: A Volcanic Gem with Views, Value, and a Bit of Wildlife Drama Rating: ★★★★★ (5/5) Few attractions strike the perfect balance between value, beauty, and unique experience quite like Mt. Omuro (大室山) in the Izu Peninsula. This extinct volcano, with its near-perfect symmetry and grass-covered slopes, isn’t just a geological wonder—it's a fully packaged experience, offering unbeatable vistas, delightful snacks, and a slice of adventure with just the right dash of whimsy. Let’s start with a practical note: weather matters. We had to visit twice—on our first attempt, strong winds meant the scenic chairlifts (gondola-style lifts) were grounded. Disappointing, sure, but entirely understandable given the exposed nature of the summit. So here’s my advice: check the wind forecast, and shoot for a clear-skied day to boost your chances of spotting the elusive Mount Fuji on the horizon. When we finally made it up on day two, the experience was well worth the wait. For only ¥1000 per person, the chairlift glides you gently to the top, revealing sweeping views of Ito City, the Pacific Ocean, and rolling hills in every direction. The crater itself is walkable—a 360-degree rim trail that's flat, easy, and endlessly photogenic. And inside the bowl-like crater? A surprising twist: an archery range. Yes, you can channel your inner samurai while literally standing in a volcano. At the base of Mt. Omuro, there’s even a zoo (Izu Shaboten Zoo) and additional attractions to round out your day trip. But the summit is where the real magic happens. I was pleasantly surprised by the gift shops and cafes, which didn’t fall into the usual overpriced tourist trap formula. In fact, Mt. Omuro was running a Yuru Camp collaboration while we were there—a brilliant marketing crossover that gets bonus points in my book. As for the food, it was shockingly good for a mountaintop rest stop. Highlights included: Hokkaido milk ice cream: ultra-creamy, with a beautifully crisp cone. Miso-dipped mochi dango: savory, warm, and satisfyingly chewy. Fluffy meat bun: solid comfort food. Yakisoba: a classic Japanese staple, well-executed. Churrito (mini churro): sweet, crunchy, and worth every yen—until a hawk tried to steal it. Yes, you read that right. A hawk or falcon, clearly a local of the area, launched a bold attempt to snatch my snack. I managed to defend my churrito (barely), but another guest nearby wasn’t as lucky. While the bird doesn’t seem to pose any direct threat to people, it’s laser-focused on open food. It's a minor inconvenience that honestly added a bit of National Geographic excitement to the day. Nature finds a way… to swipe your sweets. In conclusion, Mt. Omuro is a hidden treasure—a destination that blends nature, culture, and lighthearted fun into an affordable, worthwhile visit. Between the panoramic views, quirky attractions, and delicious eats, this is an experience I would happily recommend to tourists and locals alike. Just watch your snacks.

Summer day where Mt Fuji is also visible on Mt. Omuro summit 19/7/2025. Rice Cake with either matcha or red bean paste is a must try (350 yen each)

This is a wonderful place. Mt Fuji in the backdrop- just stunning

The view from the top is simply amazing. Went in February, still winter and it was absolutely freezing! But worth the views and the walk. You can see Mt Fuji from the top, but unfortunately she was hidden by thick clouds on the day that I went. The only way to get up there is by chair lift. There's a direct bus from Ito Station.

Mixed feelings. Let the bigger animals have a bigger home‼️The park itself was better than expected, whole park took 2-3 hours. The staff was friendly & the small animals look reasonably well kept. I would give it 5 stars for the smaller animals but for the larger animals it was depressing!!There was a bear/cat animal that was in one of the indoors enclosure and it was 5 steps for the entire home. Totally messed up. Some of the apes looked depressed. It rained but they provided umbrellas at the entrance & it was totally fine in the rain. I hope more people can speak out about the small enclosures.

I visited Izu Shaboten Zoo by bike on Friday, and it was lively with many tourists and local schoolchildren. In the nocturnal animals’ area, I saw bats for the first time in my life, which was a memorable experience. The zoo has a spacious layout where animals move around freely, and of course the capybaras were a highlight. The best part was the cactus-picking activity, where you choose your own cactus and pot to create a unique arrangement to take home. Although the entrance fee felt a bit high, the experience and atmosphere made it worth it.

If you’ve just ridden the Mt. Omuro cable car (the tram that takes you to the top of the grassy volcano), turn around and walk literally across the road — that’s where you’ll find Izu Shaboten Zoo. It’s the perfect laid-back half-day activity after the view from the summit. This isn’t one of those massive, exhausting zoos. It’s compact, shady, and genuinely cozy. On the weekday I visited, it felt almost private — hardly any crowds, just the sound of gravel underfoot and the occasional peacock screech. Of course, the undisputed stars are the capybaras. They have a huge outdoor area with a hot-spring bath (yes, the capybaras actually soak in an onsen in winter — adorable doesn’t even begin to cover it). Even in summer they’re ridiculously chill, lounging in the water or munching grass while visitors watch in quiet awe. Other highlights: • Free-roaming peacocks that follow you around like they own the place (one decided to walk with me for a solid ten minutes — best escort ever). • A fantastic walk-through bird zone where flamingos, sacred ibis, ducks, geese, and spoonbills wander right past your feet. No cages, just a big netted area — you really feel like you’ve stepped into their world. • Classic zoo lineup done well: cheeky otters, wallabies, antelopes, donkeys, turkeys, parrots, even a few lazy sloths hanging in the greenhouse section. My only tiny disappointment was that the shoebill wasn’t on display the day I went (apparently he sometimes takes “days off” inside). Next time! Everything feels lovingly maintained, the paths are easy, there are plenty of benches in the shade, and the whole vibe is relaxed and happy. Combine it with the cable car and the cactus greenhouse (the “shaboten” part of the name) next door, and you’ve got yourself a perfect easygoing afternoon on the Izu Plateau.

Mixed feelings about this zoo. Coming from Canada where most Zoo's have way more space than this, some of the enclosures felt pretty sad. We were originally going to go to the top of Mount Omoro but it was closed due to weather so we went to the zoo instead. Half of the zoo enclosures were absolutely tiny, and others were fairly large. For example the one with the penguins looked very small and dirty, and same with most of the indoor ones. The gorilla exhibit was also very sad and small. You could see some of the animals pacing around very fast in the small enclosures which is a sign of stress. The owls were also chained to the ground which felt very sad to see, at first I thought they were statues. You could also feed most animals, sometimes through tubes and you could see the animals just essentially begging for the food, although they looked well fed for the most part. Some cleaning and larger enclosures would make this way nicer. However we did absolutely love the capybara parts and being able to feed them. They are so funny! The bird exhibit was also quite cool.

Very special place, lots of animals to see. Cool interactive feeding opportunities. Capybara and Giraffe feeding was super cool. Be careful though Giraffe bit my hand - my mistake though haha

Good experience there. We bought our tickets on klook before we go. They are famous because of the cactus and their capibara(u can take close up picture with them). Tried their cactus ice cream too. There's quite few of activities u can do too

One of the best zoos! You can see the animals up close and it’s so rare to have the chance to feed so many animals. You can buy the food around the park that correspond to the different animals. The new giraffe enclosure is amazing, you can see the giraffes from their height! But the capybaras are always the highlight, no matter how many times we visit ! Try a capybara burger in the restaurant!

One of the most beautiful waterfall sites anywhere on the world. Surrounded by wasabi fields. Plenty of of parking space. Short hike. Interesting shops selling wasabi and rainbow trouts. Very accessible for those travelling with kids. Not packed with people so you can still get a serene atmosphere at the waterfall. Great drive to the location is a plus

Wow this place is a total GEM and must visit. Not only for the waterfall but to see how Wasabi is made! Try the wasabi ice cream at the end (glad I tried but wouldn't again). This place was a highlight for me fromt he view and all. Go and visit!

Beautiful, but too touristy. Can't access the river unless you pay for fishing, which is disappointing. Would have been amazing to sit down on a rock and dip feet in the stream. For those who excuse fencing off the falls by claiming protection of environment from tourists - there are hundreds more waterfalls all over Japan that are open but just as clean, so no made up excuses are necessary.

Go to Izu_Hanto but not stopping by Joren Falls then it is not completely yet. Story of famous Izu dancers by Kawabata, it is here, this location is within the story, the young student with a young girl encounter through out their trips. Parking is large free, right by the way down to Jorell falls is status of the beautiful two famous innocent, light hearts romance standing. The water falls down by 200 more steps but in well maintained and well cared for every one. Down to the falls you will feel the strong of water running and clean air fresh air. Small shop for wasabi, ice cream and sign up if you want to go fishing there. It is one of the main stops in Izu peninsula if you are interested in the beautiful izu Hanto. Going up after visiting the falls then coffee shop Idoriko's coffee shop. Name from the old train used to run at this side. Gifts shops is also carrying many products, fresh wasabi 's available to purchase if you like. This place is good stop and easy to all. We loved to be here. Thank you

The photos don't do it justice, it was more spectacular than I thought, especially in the rain. The surprising bonus was the small wasabi farm also in the gorge, so you can see the waterfall and get your wasabi hit (including buying fresh wasabi) in the same place. There are about 200 steps and no wheelchair accessibility. No toilets in the gorge either.

Nice, cold, easy to reach. Try the wasabi cashews sold down at the waterfall!

Lovely way to the Beautiful water fall and wasabi field which i never saw before

I took the guests on a gondola ride and we walked around the summit area. Although I personally wished I could have relaxed at the terrace café while enjoying the mountain view, the guests took their time and seemed to enjoy themselves. They appeared very pleased with the spectacular view.

The view at the top is breathtaking!! The tranquility and beauty of Mt.Fuji gave me the chills because it is purely beautiful to see and admire. You can choose to hike up the mountain. Because we're travelling with two kids under 4yo -- we opt for the cable car. It is clean, roomy, and very well maintained. Not scary at all~ There are many facilities at the top. There are cafes, some eateries, souvenir shops, a small shrine area, kids playground, a food onsen and plenty photo spots with Mt Fuji as backdrop. My kids went straight to the kids area first (of coz) - climbing ropes, flying foxes, slides, etc. There isn't any soft paddings on the ground.....most are dirt and rocks....so would suggest supervising the younger kids when they are playing. Go make time and get a drink or small snack at the cafe, so that you can enjoy the seating they have near the infinity "pool". There are massive day bed sofas available outside too....which i believe you can rent hourly. The food are delicious and reasonably priced!! Definitely worth visiting when in the area :D Visited back in Oct 2022.

The Izu Panorama Park Ropeway Station is the starting point of a scenic 1.8-kilometer ropeway ride up Mt. Katsuragi in Izunokuni, Shizuoka. The base station itself is well-equipped with a souvenir shop and an Italian restaurant, making it a pleasant stop even before you board the gondola. Each ropeway cabin is spacious, fitting up to six adults comfortably. The 7-minute journey offers breathtaking views of the Izu Peninsula, Suruga Bay, and even Mt. Fuji on clear days. The ride is smooth, relaxing, and perfect for travelers of all ages. At the summit, you’ll arrive at the Ao Terrace, a modern observation deck with cafes, walking trails, and footbaths. It’s a beautifully designed area where visitors can enjoy refreshments while soaking in the panoramic landscape. The ropeway operates year-round, with round-trip fares at ¥2,500 for adults and ¥1,400 for children. The station is wheelchair accessible, and there’s free parking for visitors. The station is also easily reachable by bus from Izu-Nagaoka Station. Whether you’re here for a quick visit or a full day of exploring, the ropeway station sets the tone for a relaxing, scenic experience that highlights the natural beauty of the region.

Very nice here. The ropeway ride is thrilling, especially with steep climbs. On cloudy days like mine, Mt. Fuji might be hidden, but the view is still stunning. The footbath is relaxing (bring your own towel or buy one). Plenty of snacks around—the black beef curry with wasabi is incredible and highly recommended. You can stroll the whole area in under an hour, including a small quiet shrine. Not too crowded. Definitely worth visiting.

An expensive entry fee, but a well maintained boardwalk, and beautiful views of the area.. we were lucky to see Mt Fuji the day we went.

Perfect tourist trap around here becuase you get a wondering view of Mt. Fuji and Shizouka oceans and mountains. One round trip is ￥3500 and it is worth it, there is actually a lot of stuff you can do up there. Cafe and snacks are yummy and the Matcha ice cream is the bomb. The glass noodles are awesome becuase you get to cut it yourself. The Dango is also something to try! There is a nice foot bath for your feet! Please do it and there is towels to use for a small donation. A shrine for a quick prayer. The picture spot at the top of the area. Then they just extended the walk area for more views! Beautiful~ Highly recommended! The gift shop is also awesome as well. Lots of wonderful products and not just weird stuff everything is good quality gifts and snakcs.

Izu Panorama Park truly stands out as one of the best places to view Mount Fuji. My visit was in winter, under a cloudless blue sky, which made the experience even more spectacular. From the mountain top, you get an unparalleled view of the majestic Mount Fuji, but that's not all. The panorama includes Suruga Bay, the rolling hills of the Izu Peninsula, sprawling farmlands, quaint houses, and winding roads, all coming together to paint a breathtaking picture. The clarity of the day was ideal for photography, with Fuji-san standing out against the horizon. However, be prepared for the wind, as it was quite strong during my visit, which is something to consider if you're planning to spend a lot of time soaking in the views. Despite the chilly gusts, the beauty of the landscape made it all worthwhile. The park itself is well-maintained, offering various vantage points to capture the perfect shot or simply to enjoy the natural beauty. Overall, if you're in the area, Izu Panorama Park is a must-visit for anyone looking to see one of Japan's most iconic sights from a unique and beautiful perspective. Just remember to bring a jacket to fend off the wind! Scenery Rating：5.0 Ease of arrival score：4.0

Absolutely phenomenal view of mount fuji via the sea, and views of the coast all around you. However, check the weather as its not a good idea to come when its cloudy or rainy due to limited visibility. Be prepared to walk 10 minutes on quite steep concrete. Nice walk however.

It was the perfect destination to take a couple. Although the place is called “Lover’s Cape,” it’s a wonderful spot for anyone to enjoy. A short 10-minute walk through lush greenery from the parking area leads to a high vantage point overlooking the sea. The area is rich in nature, with the constant song of bush warblers, and the ocean was beautiful.

It’s much more than the description on the website, before I came here, I thought the things I can do there are ringing the bell and drinking a cup of coffee. The truth is there is a big garden and a small mountain, you can enjoy the natural views and do some exercise by climbing the mountain. Moreover, the cats there are actually very cute and popular, many souvenirs are based on them! Kawaii

Nice little walk with spectacular views! You should be able to climb stairs, as there are really plenty of them 😀. Most of the time, you can walk in the forest which was really nice, as the sun was really hot when we came here.

Ring the love's bell and make your own wish for happiness in Love's. Your wish will be granted with your heart as it sayings

Really nice spot. We were there on a warm November day with a nice breeze blowing, and no snow on Mt. Fuji yet. Steep paved hike down and back to a large platform. 10-15 minute walk each way. Gift shop at the top had a few snacks and lots of souvenirs.

Very nice scenic views of the ocean and Mount Fuji. Well worth the trip on a clear day, but may not be worth it on a cloudy day. Steep hill to walk up and down from the free parking lot. Don’t forget to ring the bells with your lover!!

Shunzenji onsen is a beautiful Onsen town. Quiet and charming. However the bamboo forest is overrated. Probably more beautiful and night or in autumn.

Very cute albeit short bamboo path along the river in Shuzenji. Come back at night for the illuminations!

This bamboo "path" is exactly that, a short, beautiful man-made path about 150 feet long....and that's it. Don't expect a forest, don't even expect to break sweat stolling through this "path" but it is pretty and a good photo op. The tourist attractions in the immediate area are worth exploring as well.

This enchanting bamboo grove in Shuzenji carries centuries of history under its towering green canopy. Originally planted during the Edo period to supply material for local crafts, the path once served as a quiet retreat for samurai and monks from nearby temples. Today, it remains one of Izu's most atmospheric walks. The Experience: • Sunlight filtering through rustling bamboo creates ever-changing patterns • The wooden boardwalk preserves the natural terrain while providing easy access • Morning visits offer near-solitude and magical mist effects • Evening illuminations (seasonal) transform it into an otherworldly realm More than just pretty scenery, this forest represents Izu's artisanal heritage - nearby shops still sell bamboo goods made using traditional techniques. The gentle uphill path leads to Shuzenji Temple, completing a perfect cultural-nature combo. Rating: 4.7/5 - Kyoto's Arashiyama has nothing on this intimate, crowd-free alternative. Tip: The small shrine halfway along the path is perfect for quiet reflection. Visit after rainfall for intensified green hues and earthy petrichor scents. Historical Note: Local legend says the grove was expanded in the 1800s to shelter secret meetings between loyalists during turbulent political times. Perfect for: • Meditative walks • Photography at golden hour • Combining with temple visits • Experiencing traditional Japanese landscape aesthetics

I came here when it’s almost the sunset , therefore, I can only tell you my feelings of the path, I have to say with the lights, it looks so beautiful and peaceful! But most stores have closed before I arrived, so I can’t give any comments about the food or other details. By the way, there are many parking lots around the location, if you were driving to this place, you can easily find a parking lots.

Sweet walk along the river, bamboo and bridges add for a nice photo opportunity.

I absolutely loved this place. We were staying nearby at Hostel knot. We walked here at night and enjoyed this beautiful light up spot. It is small but I think it is charming. Nearby bridges make it an adventure to get to. You should totally go at night but daytime is also beautiful. Don’t forget to look up!

On June 21, 2020, I was so happy when we went to Shuzenji Niji no Sato. I am endlessly grateful to the Almighty🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Very helpful that you can bring your cats and dogs with you and the establishment is quite big there are so many places where you could walk to and spend time and you could and also should bring your own food and spend here the whole day. We didn't even manage to see half of it. And then if there are no clouds you will be able to have wonderful views of Mount Fuji however even on a fully sunny day Mount Fuji will still find a bunch of clouds just around itself so that you can see it. If it is important to you make sure to check on the website for the Fuji visibility since it is quite accurate. They serve food but would not recommend Canada village because they didn't put the effort to join the travel coupon Grant and you cannot use your coupons there only at English village Costa coffee. Speaking of that the lady from the British double decker bus Costa coffee was so friendly and nice and understanding and helpful we liked her a lot and also the fact that we could use our travel points there and her pasta being half of expensive as the one in Canada village. There is also a Rose garden with standard basic Rose types, beautiful Japanese garden with pond and traditional arched bridge and there's a road to this park the rooms where Soseki a famous Japanese novelist used to stay and write his books and have a memorial of it where you can get inside and see how it was long ago. For every season they have the seasonal flowers blooming hydrangea wisteria Iris cherry blossom and the red Autumn leaves. In Winter they organize very extensive illuminations scattered in the park but they charge quite much for that entrance ticket and you cannot stay with your daytime ticket you have to get out and buy a new one which is very not practical crazy expensive. It's a small train riding around the park however you have to pay extra for that one too. Toilets are for free though 😂. They have thatched roof old type of buildings and American-Indian village and if Lucky Mount Fuji can be photographed in many places they have installations for your selfie taking operation and even have poles where you could insert your phone and use a self timer to take your selfies.

Speaking of the tourist destination of Shuzenji in Izu, it was "Niji no Sato". I was looking forward to paying the entrance fee and entering the park. The parking lot was also charged. There were very few customers. Are there few flowers blooming in June? The park is very large, but there are very few attractions. If you look forward to seeing the beautiful flowers, you will be disappointed. I simply go to enjoy nature, so if you have one, it would be a good place to take a walk. Several shops were closed, probably because there were few customers. That's too bad.

A very well designed and built UK theme park. I think it’s actually very well done. It may be a little old but I think it is still very aesthetically pleasing. It can be a little creepy because there are very few people around (maybe because of COVID-19). But I am sure when it is during its peak period, it could be more fun. This park is MASSIVE and you should allocated minimally 2-3 hours if you really want to explore the whole park. There is even a view point to see Mt Fuji. There are a lot of food stalls all over the park so you don’t have to worry about being hungry or thirsty. I would definitely go back again if I were to be at this area.

I really enjoyed my trip here. We went there the morning after a big typhoon and so there weren’t many people. If you don’t like bugs or being in nature I don’t recommend it. We started the day on the train and went to the Canadian village where we enjoyed the kaleidoscope museum and learning about their sister city. Next, we walked through the fairy and Japanese garden to go up to the craft village. We had so much fun making a name plate and wine holder. The lady there was so kind and encouraging. Unforgettable experience. It could be expensive, my name plate was around 2000 yen, but if you pick a smaller plate and do just your name I think you could make it for only around 1000 yen. The views were very nice from the village and I fell into the koi pond at the Japanese garden lol. We had so much fun at a restaurant in the Izu village! The British village definitely seemed the most worn out but I think it was fun. Price wise I guess it could be expensive for a place that not even everything is open and stuff. I didn’t think the walk around was that long at all as there were various things to see and do along the way. Walk through the garden to get from one side to another and not on the road. I think that many places need improvement and we’re not the cleanest but it is an old place. If you just namedrop a nearby ryokan like arai they will give you a 400 yen discount lol. For 800 yen I definitely think it was worth it but you have to consider; do you like walking around in nature? Do you mind older facilities? Do you mind dropping money on various things here and there? If you prepare your mind accordingly I think you can have a great time.

Go to see. shuzenji Garden Nishino Sato, a simulated theme park. English village Including the Nada village, a German village And there is also a museum Ancient steam trains and The museum of ancient children's toys as well. Including the back, walking down the stairs from him there is still a Japanese-style garden. There is a shady atmosphere, full of beautiful trees and a pond for ducks and carp. There are restaurants, cafes, shops in the same area. It is a very wide area because it is in the valley so you have to walk a long distance. But here there is a service to sit. The old steam train provided To go down to various points as well, including a vintage British car to sit with.

Lots of beautiful flowers. Nice old train you can ride for 400 yen adult price ticket. Feels like being outside Japan seeing the environment and the old houses.

The museum exhibit and the walk through the tunnel was average. Nothing impressive. We however had fun experiencing the gold panning.

Interesting tour in the gold mine with explanations in English and a small museum at the end. About 30 min. There’s also gold panning additional activity.

A great place to take your children to explore historical gold mines and the history behind it. The mine itself has a really low ceiling so need to be real cautious. There is also an area to experience panning; also a great experience for kids as it’s almost guaranteed you can find some placer gold (it’s artificial). Adult tickets are about 1900 yen for the whole pack experience. Huge parking lot.

Such a cool experience. The majority of the experience is in an air conditioned mine where animatronic robots illustrate the rigors of daily mining life. There is a small museum indoors attached to a gift shop where the record breaking gold bar resides. There is also an indoor gold panning area where you can buy tickets for a timed panning session. People will find little flecks of gold as a nice souvenir.

Interesting history. The mineral mines in this area really made this place prosperous. It was fun learning about the mine and panning for gold. The garden was also very beautiful and picturesque. They have gold foil ice cream. There’s no taste to the gold but the ice cream was delicious. Good place to stop if you’re in the area. Their restaurant is open from 11:00-15:00 with last order at 14:30. There are food trucks in the parking lot.

Creatively illustrated process of gold mining procedures that was carried out in the past here. Apart from the tunnel visit, you also get to experience the process of filtering gold from the ore. It's sort of a back bending activity, however worth trying.

Interesting place to visit, one can understand the gold mining history of Japan from here. The tunnels created for gold mining is kept and maintained for the visitors to walk around and see. Through out the tunnel models are displayed explaining the life of miners. There is a nice museum near, highlights are 12kg and 250kg gold. Visitors can touch and lift it(if you are strong enough). Another attraction is the gold panning, at an extra cost we can try out luck in gold panning at the area provided near the gift shop. One can get some interesting Omiyage from the gift shop here. Overall a good experience worth the time for kids and adults.

Avoid hiking during summer, because there are too many mosquitos.

However, I took the wrong route and ended up going down a valley. If you can go when the rhododendrons are blooming, I think you can understand the significance of being selected as one of the 100 Famous Mountains. Are the toilets unavailable during the winter? It was usable when we visited. There is also a place where you can wash your hiking shoes. Due to a significant decrease in the number of route buses, It's better to go by car.

(Translated by Google) Mt. Amagi (Amagisan) is the collective name for the mountain range also known as Mt. Manjiro and Mt. Manzaburo (highest peak 1406m), and is the highest peak on the Izu Peninsula. There is a folk tale and legend about three Tengu brothers in the Izu region, and there is a theory that the names of these three brothers were borrowed from them. Incidentally, the eldest son is named after Mount Daruma, a mountain in Toda, Numazu City (although unlike the two brothers mentioned above, it is not a proper noun, but a common noun). There are also various theories about the origin of the mountain's name, including one that says it comes from the fact that it is one of the rainiest mountain ranges in Japan, and that it was named "Amagi" because the mountain is covered with trees so thick that it covers the sky. (Original) 天城山(アマギサン)は、別名で、万二郎岳、万三郎岳(最高峰1406M)と呼ばれている連山の総称で、伊豆半島の最高峰です。この、万二郎岳、万三郎岳の名前ですが、伊豆地方には、天狗の三兄弟に関する民話、伝説が伝わっていて、その三兄弟から名前を拝借した説があるのです。ちなみに長男ですが、長男は達磨山という、沼津市の戸田にある達磨山に、(上述した2兄弟と違い、固有名詞ではありませんが)名前(一般名詞)が冠されています。また、別の説では日本有数の雨の多い山域で「雨木」と言うのが山名の由来という説や、天を覆うほどに木々が茂る山だから「天木」だと、山名由来には諸説あるようです。

(Translated by Google) It's hard to find the way back from the summit! The view is better from Mt. Manjiro. (Original) 頂上からの帰り道が分かりづらい！ 景色は万二郎岳の方が良く見れる。

(Translated by Google) I went on the Amagi Mountain (Manjiro-dake and Manzaburo-dake) circular course. On Friday, April 19th, I arrived at the parking lot (Amagi Kogen Hikers' Parking Lot) before 9am. It was a weekday, so the parking lot was empty. It was very nice weather, but the yellow sand made it a little lush, but I think it was an interesting hike. The view wasn't great from the summit, but the contrast between the mountains and the sea along the way was amazing. However, there were places where the ladders and footholds were crumbling and it was difficult to walk (the steps were high), so be careful. The walking distance was 8.4km and 15,000 steps, about 6 hours, and including breaks, it was a full day's course. By the way, the course time on Yamapp is 4 and a half hours. (Original) 天城山（万二郎岳・万三郎岳）周回コースに行ってきました～ 4月19日（金曜日）駐車場（天城高原ハイカー専用駐車場）に9時前に到着、駐車場は平日だったので空いていました～ とても良い天気でしたが、黄砂のせいか少し藻ヤっていましたが、コース的には面白い登山だと思います。 景色は山頂からは今いちですが、途中途中で山と海が見えるコントラスト？最高です。が、はしごや足場が崩れていて歩きにくい（段差が高いです）場所が所々あるので歩行注意です。 歩行距離は8,4km15,000歩 約6時間 、休憩を入れたら丸１日コースでした。 因みにヤマップではコースタイム4時間半となってます。

Orange Beach was a terrific sandy beach ⛱ I live the palm trees. 🌴🌴There weren't many people when I visited in early April even though it was a hot sunshiny🌞 day. Easy access from the Ito train station 🚉

Just before the beginning of the official summer season (mid July to End of August) there are no amenities, but there are also no crowds. The sand is almost black but very soft, almost like sands in Hawaii. Not gravely at all. The water is crystal clear as well and no waves as it is enclosed in a bay. It is also quite warm and not cold. Only 4 stars as you can find pieces of glass periodically that have not worn down and small pieces of pottery with sharp edges in the sand. Maybe with the clean up before the summer season this is taken care of. Also a McDonalds nearby (10 min walk in the direction of marine town) if that is of interest to you

Ito Orange Beach is the best beach we visited in Izu! At high tide it is deep enough to dive under the water, but it’s very calm thanks to the breakwater. The sand is soft and black, though if your feet are sensitive to small pebbles you may want to bring water shoes. If you want to see fish, I recommend coming in the morning and at high tide if possible. I met many kinds of colourful and curious fish near the breakwater, including a small school of cute squid! I did not see any jellyfish. There are free showers that are well-designed, all functioning as a full shower or as a footwash, and draining sand through a grate onto the beach below. There are toilets and trash cans as well. There are restaurants on the beach with seating, though you can also buy food at the nearby Food Shop Aoki. For a fee, you can rent floaties, access the floating slides, or try a banana boat. There is not much shade, however.

Quiet beach. Even though it is nice, it was too lonely. There is no shade so umbrellas are a must. There are bathrooms and faucet to remove the sand.

September the 2nd and all when away already, summer is way longer In japan. All the beach stands should stay for longer…. Anyway I got a great and quiet day in this beach. Not much to do than relax

Loads of rubbish (trash)! We visited in early October. I would not recommend visiting outside of the swimming season. Even the nearby river is polluted. It felt sad to visit.

Ito Explorer is doing very good job. They are volunteer group and keep the beach clean. They also planted flowers (Hibiscus) at the beach entrance! just WoW! Foreigners and Japanese can join the activities too, follow @ito_explorer on Instagram to know upcoming activities!

Quite clean beach with a rescue team during day time. Wave is quite high and wind is strong thus needs certain skill of swimming.

Came here in the morning. The wave is high and no lifeguard. It’s near a hotel and you can wash your foot by outdoor water tap.

Nice beach though water was quite cold a must see place in summers!!!!

(Translated by Google) About 5 minutes walk from Izu-Atagawa Station. As you go down the slope, you can see the sea. You can faintly see Oshima on the opposite shore. The waves look rough. There were a few people surfing. There is a space to park your car in front. (Original) 伊豆熱川駅から徒歩5分程度。 坂を下っていくと海が見えてきます。 対岸の大島がうっすら見えます。 波が荒い印象。 サーフィンをする方がちらほらいました。 目の前に車を駐車するスペースがあります。

(Translated by Google) [Report before the beach opens on Saturday, June 28, 2025] - Location of the free showers Free showers are installed outside the building of the "public toilets" between Atagawakan and Hotel Setas Royal. There are two in total, one on the men's side and one on the women's side. The beach is about 300m long, so no matter where you sit, the distance to the showers is close and there is no problem. - About the parking lot at the beach The guide at the T-junction of Hotel Setas Royal states "Public parking lot 260m", but as far as I walked around the area, there was no place clearly marked as "public parking lot", so I was not sure. Does it refer to the area near the "Takaiso public toilet" at the northernmost part of the beach and the parking space along the coast south of the Atagawa coastal embankment? The other parking spaces along the beach have colored contact lenses with the hotel name in front of them, so it seemed like general cars could not be parked. It seems that there will be a shortage of parking spaces when the beach opens. - Distance from the station and surrounding hotels About a 5-minute walk from Izu Atagawa Station. The way there is easy as it is downhill, but the way back is a steep uphill climb and a bit tough if you have heavy luggage. I walked from the beach to the only convenience store in Atagawa, Family Mart along National Route 135 (the route goes from Atagawa Ocean Resort to Banana Crocodile Park without using stairs) for about 15 minutes, but I was sweating even with empty hands. It is possible to walk to hotels along the national route (Atagawa Prince or Itoen, etc.), but it is difficult to walk back after playing in the sea. ・About the foot bath (Atagawa Hot Park) It is located along the river in front of Hotel Shinayoshi. There is a foot washing area, and there is a notice to wash off the sand before entering. There is no shade, so I guess almost no one enters in the summer. I think it is useful when you want to wash your feet when returning to the hotel from the beach. (Original) 【2025/6/28(土)海開き前のレポート】 ・無料シャワーの位置について 熱川館とホテルセタスロイヤルの間にある「公衆トイレ」の建物外側に無料シャワーが設置されています。男性側に1基、女性側に1基の合計2基です。長さ300mくらいのビーチなので、どこに陣取ってもシャワーまでの距離は近く問題ありません。 ・ビーチの駐車場について ホテルセタスロイヤルのＴ字路の案内には「一般駐車場260m」と記載されていましたが、周辺を歩いた限りでは「一般駐車場」と明示された場所は無く、良く分かりませんでした。ビーチ最北側の「高磯公衆トイレ」付近と、熱川海岸堤防より南側の海岸沿い駐車スペースを指しているのか？その他のビーチ沿いの駐車スペースは、目の前にあるホテル名のカラコンがそれぞれ立てられており、一般車は止められない感じでした。海開き時は駐車スペースが不足しそうです。 ・駅や周辺ホテルからの距離感 伊豆熱川駅からは徒歩約5分。行きは下りでラクですが、帰りは急な上り坂で荷物が重いと少しキツいです。ビーチから熱川唯一のコンビニ、国道135号沿いのファミマまで歩いたところ《熱川オーシャンリゾート→バナナワニ園前を通るルートで階段は使わず》約15分弱、手ぶらでも汗だくになり厳しかったです。国道沿いのホテル（熱川プリンスや伊東園など）まで歩くのは、行きは何とかなっても、海で遊んで疲れた帰り道は厳しいと思います。 ・足湯（熱川ほっとぱぁーく）について ホテル志なよしの前の川沿いにあります。足洗い場があり、砂を落としてから入るよう説明が掲示されていました。日陰が無いので、夏はほぼ入る人はいないのでは？ビーチからホテルに帰る際に足を洗いたいときには使えると思います。

(Translated by Google) I visited on the day the beach opens in 2025. The sea is beautiful. There are areas with waves and areas that are calm, so it's fun whether you go with friends or family. There's not much trash on the beach, maybe because it's beach opening day. The good thing about this place is that there aren't many people, but there are many lifeguards, so it feels very safe. There are also free showers and toilets. There is only one beach hut, and no changing rooms or lockers. There was also one shop that felt more like a food stall. The menu isn't very extensive. They do have rental life jackets for around 1,000 yen. It cost 300 yen to inflate the life jackets. Rather than having a lively party, I think it's best to just bring a lunch bucket and a picnic blanket and relax. (Original) 2025年海開きの当日に訪問。 海は綺麗です。 波もあるところと穏やかなところがあるので、友達と行っても家族と行っても楽しめます。 砂浜も海開きの日だからかもだけど、ゴミは目立ちません。 ここの良いところは、人が少ないけどライフセーバーの人が多くてとても安心できます。 無料のシャワー、トイレもあります。 海の家は一つある程度で、更衣室とかロッカーは無しです。 あと屋台的な感じのも1店舗ありました。 メニューは多くはないです。 貸浮輪とかはあって、1000円とかです。 浮輪の空気入れは300円でした。 わいわいというより、ランチバケットとレジャーシート持ってゆっくり過ごすのがおすすめだと思いました。

(Translated by Google) There are few sandy beaches in East Izu, with Ito, Kawana, Atagawa, and Imaihama being the only ones. Others are more famous, and this is a hidden gem, as it was originally an artificial beach made of gravel. The water is cleaner than Ito or Kawana. It's within walking distance from the station, and there's a parking lot along the beach. In season, there are parking spaces for hotel guests, beach huts, and headquarters, so there are fewer spaces, but you can still park for free. The toilets are clean, and it's nice that there's another shower (with cold water) on either side. Facing the sea, there's also a footbath at the back left, so use it if you get cold. (Original) 東伊豆では、砂のビーチが少なく伊東、川奈、熱川、今井浜。他が有名なのと、元がゴロタの人工砂浜なのもあり中々の穴場。 伊東や川奈より水が綺麗。 駅からも徒歩圏内、ビーチ沿いが駐車場でシーズンだと並びの宿泊客用や、海の家や本部が出来て少ないが無料で停めれる。 トイレも綺麗で両サイドにシャワー（水）もう一箇所あるのも有り難い。海正面にして左奥に足湯もあるので冷えたらどーぞ

Lake Ippeki (一碧湖) is a calm and scenic spot best suited for locals or slow-paced travelers with time to spare. While peaceful and photogenic in its own right, it lacks standout features to justify a detour for most tourists. (2/5) Full Review Lake Ippeki: A Quiet Pause, But Not a Destination Rating: ★★☆☆☆ (2/5) Not every attraction in Japan needs to dazzle or overwhelm. Some, like Lake Ippeki (一碧湖), offer a softer appeal—a whisper rather than a shout. Tucked away in the Izu Peninsula, this lake exudes a quiet serenity that locals no doubt treasure. For travelers who enjoy wandering through lesser-known corners of Japan, this location might serve as a pleasant interlude. But for most tourists, especially those navigating a tight itinerary, this may not be a worthwhile stop. There are a few charming touches: the ability to take a small boat onto the lake to reach a tiny island, for instance, does offer a touch of novelty. The forest trail that rings the lake provides a shaded, tranquil setting for a contemplative walk or picnic. In the right season—perhaps a crisp autumn afternoon or early spring morning—it could very well feel like a peaceful escape from the crowds. But the key word here is could. For the average tourist, especially those looking to maximize their time and experience, Lake Ippeki simply doesn’t stand out. The views, while pretty, lack the grandeur of more dramatic lake destinations like Kawaguchiko or Ashi. The facilities are minimal, the signage isn’t particularly tourist-friendly, and unless you’re armed with a car and a leisurely attitude, getting here can feel more like a detour than a discovery. That said, I don’t mean to diminish its worth entirely. For residents of the Izu area or frequent travelers to Japan looking for something quiet, off the beaten path, this could be a delightful spot to recharge. Sometimes, a place doesn’t need to be thrilling—it just needs to be still. Lake Ippeki offers stillness in spades. But for those weighing opportunity costs—the time, transport, effort—it’s difficult to recommend this site above other regional highlights. It’s a place that asks for time, and gives you calm in return. If that’s your travel style, you might find value here. Otherwise, I’d suggest allocating your hours elsewhere. Verdict: Lake Ippeki is a local gem, not a tourist must-see. Peaceful and lightly photogenic, it works well for those with time to spare—but may leave others wondering what else they could’ve done instead.

Beautiful lake surrounded by forests. Pleasnatly quiet and great for a stroll. There's a small parking spot nearby, however you can also drop off at a nearby local bus stop. You can also rent a small paddle boat.

A small crater lake, 6km south of Ito city. The circumference is only 4 km, but this is the largest lake in Izu Peninsula where there are very few lakes and ponds. There are twelve islands, and the beautiful scene reflecting the Amagi Mountains on the lake is known as the ”the eye of Izu”. There are 250 cherry trees planted along the lake, with campsites. The lake is stocked with carp, black bass and bluegill, and is popular for fishers as well as people riding boats.

There are a few cafes along the lake. It’s beautiful but there is nothing much to do.

Some steps but not terribly difficult to walk a loop around the lake. We had fun spotting the giant koi fishes in the lake as well.

A quiet and easy walking trail, suitable for families with children.

A tranquil lake, but not very beautiful.

You can drive through it! Looks narrow and is quite long so not sure what you'd do if another vehicle comes th other way. Just do it, you only live once!

You would love this place especially if you have watched the movie or read the novel.

Tunnel is closed to vehicle for repairs (opens end of September 2020) but go walk the tunnel instead of driving. It's nice.

Take care if you drive there, the road is not well maintained

It’s a tunnel.

Quiet calm place!

One of the coolest places. Feels like a real lost place. You'll walk up a street that has a little incline for quite some time and end up in front of the old tunnel. The tunnel itself has light inside but there's nobody around and, as far as I could see, no cars pass through it. Quite a spooky experience.

Where else can you ride up a volcano and take in views that feel like they’re straight out of a cartoon? The scenery is stunning, the experience is unique, and the whole place has a surreal, almost storybook quality. Absolutely worth it.

What a cool place! Take the bus from the Izu Train Station and you will be there I. Approx 45 mins. An adult return ticket will cost you 1000 Yen. Board the chair lift and enjoy the fun and the stunning views of the coast line, Mt Fuji and walk around the tip of an ancient volcano. Be early as there wait in line will be a long one.

100% worth doing!! One of the more unique sights I’ve seen, it was easy, well equipped, clean & well staffed. There’s dango for purchase at the top and walking the whole loop took 30ish minutes~ Came on a rainy day, super windy & the cable car would be scary for someone who is scared of heights.

Worth the wait! We waited about two hours, but the view from the top is absolutely spectacular and made every minute worthwhile. Once you're up there, plan for about 30 minutes to take it all in. Highly recommend!

Great place to walk around, only thing I would advise is to bring a UV umbrella, the sun is super hot up there during daytime. There are coin lockers at the bottom, highly recommend storing anything hefty.

A short and pleasant experience. The lift ride is quick, and the 1 km walk around the top offers beautiful views all the way. Great for a short stop.

Well worth it, though the walk around the crater has some very steep sections. It was also very windy at the top and you needed something warm. Fantastic views and a fun chair-lift ride.

Nice little old temple, decorated with red maple trees were pretty picturesque!

The Shuzenji Temple is just a stone throw away from the footpath and the historical outdoor onsen. Unfortunately, when we visited the temple there was a group of Chinese tourists talking inadequately loud, yelling and screaming and not behaving at all in a way that other people could enjoy a peaceful atmosphere. So I tried to get away from there without having had the chance to discover the beauty of this place. Very sad.

This temple and whole town around it is really adorable. We tried some wasabi ice cream, and the hop&cold spring

The temple is located within a very picturesque village. It’s within walking distance of red bridges, a bamboo walking path, river, hot foot bath, boutique shops, cafe’s and ryokans. It would be stunning in the autumn because of the numerous Japanese maple trees located within and surrounding the temple. I’ll be sure to visit again during momiji season 🍁

Nice temple with a museum, onsen-water for purifying your hands, and a collection of very nice Goshuin.

Quiet and beautiful temple, good to walk around the street, riverside and the bamboo forest path.

After a full week in Japan, we found the atmosphere we were looking for right here in Shuzenji on a chance trip. Serene, lovely nature - absolutely brilliant.

Well, for a recognized and designated world heritage structure, it didn't really exude any of the "wow" factor. And to be honest it was a lot smaller than I expected, details and information around the furnace were quite lacking for visitors The tourist center did put up some decent exhibits (all in Japanese though) and information in regards to the history of the industrial revolution in Japan and how the furnace was a symbol of Japan's initial attempts at kick-starting the steel/metal industry. The surrounding area is surprisingly nice. With a tea plantation terrace nearby, and nestled in a quiet, quaint neighborhood.

Great history of Japan and craftsmanship. It is a small historical museum where they made cannons and insightful how it was made. The time it took to make the cannon and also to bore hole in the cannon made it time consuming. Good historical site.

World Heritage sight. Worth to visit with thinking how people in Edo era protect Japan from external countries.

Since becoming a world heritage site, there have been lots of upgrades and it's now a lovely tourist attraction which won't suck your wallet dry overwhelm even the oldest member of your party.

I was treated very kindly when I came I to the Nirayama Reverberatory Furnaces Historical site. I do not speak any Japanese and the employees were so helpful by giving me an English brochure to learn more about this very important site to mark the beginning of the Japanese industrial revolution. The video was in Japanese but I understood the iron smelting process. Fascinating! I like history.

A bit disappointing From a customer’s point of view, the admission fee should be reduced while it’s being restored. I could not see anything.

I visited this site lovely place and good staff I wasn’t disappointed at all

Wonderful walk along the river, gorgeous waterfalls. Mostly easy walking but some areas with lots (lots) of stairs. Can dip feet to cool down, one fall has a spring to help cool down. If you enjoy yourself at a leisurely pace, will take several hours. Or can be done quickly in probably just over an hour. If you find the hidden restaurant, go have barracuda or snapper!

A nice walk in the woods past 7 waterfalls. Most of the waterfalls are fairly small, and river access is prohibited in most areas. Not wheelchair friendly, but not a strenuous hike either. It was a nice enough stop, but wouldn't recommend going out of your way to see it either.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely breathtaking! Kawazu Seven Waterfalls is one of the most beautiful and peaceful spots in Izu. The trail is easy to walk and perfectly maintained, winding through lush forest and crystal-clear streams. Each of the seven waterfalls has its own charm — from small cascades hidden among mossy rocks to the majestic final fall that feels straight out of a movie. The sound of rushing water, birds singing, and the fresh mountain air make it such a relaxing experience. Along the way, there are lovely cafés and small onsen inns where you can stop and enjoy a break with coffee or soft-serve ice cream. It’s also a great place to visit year-round — vibrant green in summer, fiery red leaves in autumn, and tranquil beauty in winter. If you’re in Izu, this is a must-see destination. Highly recommended for nature lovers, photographers, and anyone looking to unwind in Japan’s natural beauty. 🌿💧

Its very beautiful and serene but its quite a treck. Lovely views overall and quite a nice shift from the busy citylife. The village where the waterfalls are is also quite cozy with a very friendly shop and an amazing udon/soba restaurant serving cheap and amazingly delicious food. If you have physical limitations or similar it could be dificult to treck through but its very beautiful for those who apreciate nature.

A wonderful series of waterfalls that are very easy to access. The trail is very well kept mostly concrete and very easy for almost any one to complete. There are a few areas with some steep steps and a wooden bridge. The falls and river are beautiful and make this well worth a visit. You can complete it easily in under an hour even if you linger a while. There is a cool area where you can attempt to land some small stones on a rock out in the river for your wish to come true. Each fall has an associated diety a story and a stamp so be sure to bring a notebook to collect the stamps! You cannot get in the water though while we were there a tour group walking the river and going over some of the falls was going by. If you are in Shimoda or any nearby town this would make an excellent trip.

It was nice to walk through the path visiting the 7 waterfalls and the volcanic rocks. I visited the walk from uphill to down starting from north toward south. It seems easier than the reverse.

I read reviews that recommended taking the bus to the top fall and walking the trail backwards/down. This is good advice for most people. The tourist office guide in Kawazu at the bus stop saw my cane. I am 76 and have knee and hip replacements. She told me to get off at the first stop, see falls 1 to 3, backtrack and see falls 4 and 5. I did NOT follow her advice and went to the top fall to walk down. I was wrong: she was correct. The upper trail starts out nice but then there are a million steps down. I spent all my concentration on not tripping or falling. It interfered with my ability to enjoy nature. My wife and i made it. But if you are elderly with mobility issues do what the Kawazu tourist lady tried so hard to communicate to me. You are old and impaired. Accept it and enjoy what you can. Multiply picture by at least 30 times.

The museum is so cute, it has a good mix of actual history on teddy bears and then unique/cute ones. Some amazing displays as well and a build a bear style workshop. There is also a really good selection of Ghibli items and scenes. Plenty of photo opportunities and they have a great bakery with some really cool cookies and sweets. Unfortunately I didn’t get to their tea room in enough time to try anything but the menu looks good.

If you love teddy bears or plushies in general this is a great museum! There are many vintage and rare bears and the displays on the first floor are very detailed, interesting and cute! The top floor has a Totoro exhibition when I visited and there is also a workshop where you can make your own teddy bear. The highlight for me was seeing the vintage bears and also the garden cafe was very cute. You can have tea with a teddy and there’s also a small couch for a plushie you brought or bought to sit with you while you enjoy the cafe too!

This was a delight, plenty of Toto for Ghibli fans, cute cafe where a teddy is sat waiting for you, pudding was delicious, brownie tiny but quite dark chocolate. Lots of photo oops too. If you want to build a Totoro check timings for the workshops, think there was 3 a day. There's two gifts shops, the first upstairs then down to the next one. Really good quality gifts, reasonably priced. Very pleasant way to spend a couple of hours on Izu, especially on a rainy day. Three teenagers all enjoyed it.

a must go if you are into cute toys. it is cute that many people love teddy bears enough to make a museum for it. you get to see teddy bear exhibitions + a whole section for totoro. entry is 200yen cheaper if you present your mount omuro chairlift ticket to the cashier. there’s also a teddy bear making workshop but unfortunately i didn’t participate. there’s also a souvenir shop with various cartoon characters and a baked goods shop. i spent around 30-45 minutes here in total. a small museum but still very interesting and cute!

Fantastic little Muesum full of plushies much older than this little guy. Many of the Teddies have names and history which is quite fun to read. And the floor above is a fun little Ghibli plushie exhibit, great for fun photos. Lots of fun

We loved the gardens and the shop! You need to make a reservation to build your own Totoro, but that was a big highlight for our daughters. Well worth the price for a custom stuffed toy.

The Izu Teddy Bear Museum is easily accessible, with no waiting time since you can buy tickets on-site for just 1,400 yen per adult. It’s an affordable and fun stop if you're in the area, featuring a variety of bears in sizes ranging from mini to large. There’s also a small bear shop and a cafeteria, though we only visited the museum and picked up some cards and a mini plush toy as souvenirs. Parking is free and access is simple. You can pay with MasterCard or Visa, but having cash on hand can be helpful. Google Translate is useful for purchasing tickets, and Google Maps can guide you to nearby attractions. Definitely worth a visit!

The walking bridges within the village are vermillion red and super cute! All are connected with a small bamboo forest, a picturesque river, hot foot baths, cafes and ryokans. It’s easy to walk around the small village - everything is very close.

Connects the Shuzenji Temple to the Bamboo forest

The view around this bridge was stubbing. If you come here in spring or autumn, you may find the cherry blossom or autumn colour

Almost one and only spot which can be called landmark or something like that in Shuzenji. Located at the center so couldn't pass it at all. Plus a public onsen usually for feet theraphy which are free for everyone! You'd better try this for sure even though it's totally HOT!

Nice shot

It is just a bridge. But the place is nice.

GBSA-091 Travel with friend

I brought my Shiba Inu here for the first time in summer. Quiet, peaceful, there is a park next to the beach, restrooms, parking, clean water near the beach, clear water, cool. Unfortunately, the sea view is not so beautiful.

Free beach with easy access. Had lot of fun with kids. Free flushing water and parking

Nice beach even during the off season where you can enjoy the beautiful sunset

How about investing some money in renovating the beach, town, roads, bridges?

Nice place

(Translated by Google) Visited on a Saturday in August. I stayed at an inn right across the street and was woken up early in the morning by the voices of the lifeguards practicing. Thank you for your hard work. It was a very large beach and the waves were calm. The water was a little murky due to the typhoon, but by the afternoon it was clear enough that you could see the fish swimming. The water was shallow and we were able to go quite far back. It seemed like the kids were enjoying the scenery while floating on their swim rings. There are free showers and changing rooms, as well as disabled toilets and beach huts, so families can enjoy themselves without any problems. There were many lifeguards and a well-maintained monitoring system, so we were able to enjoy swimming in the sea with peace of mind. I'll definitely go again next year. (Original) 8月の土曜日に訪問。 目の前の宿に宿泊し朝方ライフセーバーの方達の朝練の声で目が覚めました。 ご苦労様です。 とても大きな海水浴場で波も穏やかでした。 台風の影響で少し濁っていたが午後からは透明度が上がって泳いでいる魚が見えるほどでした。 遠浅でかなり奥まで行くことが出来ました。 子供たちも浮き輪で浮かびながら景色を楽しんでいたようです。 ここは無料のシャワーや脱衣所が完備されており、障害者トイレや海の家もあるので家族連れでも問題なく楽しめます。 ライフセーバーの方達の人数も多く、監視体制が整っているので安心して海水浴を楽しむことが出来ました。 また来年も行こうと思います。

(Translated by Google) My family and I visited Toi Beach. While the water isn't particularly clear, the coast is clean and very pleasant. One of the best things about this beach is the Toi Onsen Maru, a converted boat that doubles as a hot spring bathhouse. Rinse-off in the hot spring after a swim—it was incredibly relaxing. The shallow waters are wide, so kids can play safely. The waves are calm, making it a perfect family destination. The nearby parking lot, which is free for two hours, was also a great help. It wasn't too crowded, so we enjoyed the stress-free experience. What impressed us most was the friendliness of the people, both locals and tourists. They greeted each other, were kind to our children, and the warm atmosphere was soothing. This beach is highly recommended for those looking for a relaxing time or a safe and enjoyable experience with their families. (Original) 土肥海水浴場に家族で訪れました。海の透明度はそれほど高くはありませんが、海岸は清潔感があり、とても気持ちよく過ごせます。 特に良かったのが「土肥温泉丸」という、船を改装した温泉の洗い場。海水浴のあとに温泉で体を流せるのは最高で、快適そのものでした。 浅瀬が広がっているので、子供たちも安心して遊べます。波も穏やかで、家族連れにはぴったりの場所だと感じました。 また、近くに2時間無料の駐車場があるのも助かりました。混雑もそれほどなく、ストレスフリーで利用できたのも好印象。 何より印象的だったのは、地元の方や観光客を含めて「人が良い」こと。挨拶を交わしたり、子供に優しくしてくれたりと、温かい雰囲気に癒されました。 のんびり過ごしたい方や、家族で安心して楽しみたい方にとてもおすすめの海水浴場です。

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!

If you're keen into fishing at night and enjoy swimming in a calm white sand beach, this is your place. Mihama beach is a bay while the other side it has rocky coastal area for fishing. You can also join the fishing boat trip from the nearby store.

It's a good beach with almost clear water, no heavy waves and a lifeguard on standby. The entrance fee of ¥1500 for a kei car with 1 person was too expensive. Little or no shade so bring your tents and tarpaulins. Due to covid-19, they sectioned off spaces for social distancing. Only 2 restrooms available and only 2 shops with limited food choices.

Anti main stream spot. Really beautiful. Public transport a little bit incovenient but it’s worth it to visit. Kids friendly

I honestly wasn't sure what I would find here; it was more about the journey than the destination for me. The road I cycled to get to Heda (Prefectural Highway 17) offered a refreshing dearth of traffic, even in the middle of summer, and absolutely stunning views along the Izu coastline. Heda itself is a charming little fishing village. There's an aquarium and a shipbuilding museum there, both of which were closed when I went (on Wednesday).

Beautiful and a great beach

It is nice calm and clear water, protected by the harbor. But also, protected by a net. And so, the space to swim is not that big. Good for small kids but adults may be disappointed.

Quite beach with no waves and water is not clear. You can enjoy it if you want relaxed place but don’t recommend if you like ocean waves.

Lovely, serene place to see, especially if you are interested in local production & wasabi. The roads leading there can be narrow lot of curves where one cannot see behind. There are parking places where you can leave your car for max 10 minutes. The opening hours published on Google maps are a bit misleading. The area is opened 24/7, there is no gate to close.

Road is very narrow and uphill. There are woods fell down which may be stuck on the wheels

If you think this place is underwhelming you didnt go far enough!! The wasabi fields span up and down the entire mountain area. Take a walk around the corner!

Literally nothing to do or buy here, just some wasabi fields. Go Joren Falls instead, they have a shop selling wasabi products there and also some wasabi fields near the falls.

Wasabi terrace field in Ikadaba, this portion of a long section of wasabi cultivation was breathtaking. Recognized as an UNESCO Global Geopark, the fresh spring water flowing from Mt. Amagi is the only optimal setting for growing wasabi. If you visit, take your time to enjoy the fresh air and beauty of the delicate wasabi. There is a little offshoot area to pull off your car to, but you can only park for 10 min. Be careful driving here as the roads are very narrow up and down the mountain.

An interesting thing to see if you're really into Wasabi. Beware of some roads leading up to the area (I was going East) as they are narrow for two cars so there is a bit of that stress of having to figure things out every time a car comes from opposite direction.

Traditional wasabi cultivation in Shizuoka is a recognized Globally Important Agricultural Heritage System. Here, wasabi is grown sustainably by the “tatamiishi” method that features a piles of rocks and pebbles within a terraced landscape to control water temperature and ensure the adequate flow of spring water down the entire field. The wasabi fields pictured here are relatively large—as you wind up and down the densely forested mountains, you can find smaller fields wherever there is a creek or stream. Unless you have a car or motorbike, this would be a very difficult place to visit. There is a place to park along the roadside for up to 10 minutes, but for most people, this is enough time to take in the views and appreciate the area.

Actually quite disappointed. For the price charged the food was only mediocre. The wasabi chicken missed all the salt and did not have much wasabi aroma. The miso pork loin was basically the same. Both dishes are quite pricey compared to the surrounding. The staff was accommodating and friendly. The restaurant menu for local wines is too small unless you want to buy bottles.

Very unprofessional, don't bother coming. Staff did not label or mark tastings the way normal wineries do, and they were reluctant to give me paper to make my own notes. Also didn't want to give me a tray to carry my samples to a table. Wines were sour and poor quality. Cashier couldn't properly add up the cost of my tastings and tried to give me 1,000 Yen less change than was correct. Very pretty and nice view of Mt Fuji. Japanese language only, this place is not for tourists. Not very friendly or welcoming staff.

Nice place to take some photos. But if you're not a wine person, nothing much gonna make you excited here.

Really amazing & calm places! Must visit when you are in Japan! you can have really fantastic time with all nature & sauna & horse riding

Although it's a little out of the way, there is a shuttle bus from Shuzenji station if you don't have a car. They have wine tasting, they do wedding ceremonies and parties, and they have a tour of their facilities. They have horses you can ride, but they're a bit expensive.

Good value for light lunch. Magnificent winery view. Fantastic experience for a relaxing afternoon.

A unique combination of an imitation of European winery and church, but nice place for lunch and wines overlooking vineyard.

The view is otherworldly.. Looks like mountains from Swiss. But only a few shade to rest from sunlight. The view will be prettier on sunny day as u can see the Mt Fuji from there. My advice is bring protection from sun and a lot of sunscreen.

A great hiking course which you can choose to do 1 to 4 hrs depending on your energy level and available time. Easiest to go by car with some parking space in each entrance but you can also go by bus to a couple of entry point. This time we walked from Hetatouge, parked our car there, and walked about 2.5 hrs to Darumayama and returned to Hetatouge. Amazing view and cool breeze which is blowing below the hill. Can be quite windy and has up and down...so long sleeve t-shirt even in middle of summer, bottle of water and good shoes are highly recommend. No vending machine nor shop near by so make sure you bring your own supply. Love this place in all season bit especially in hot and humid Japanese summer.

Check out my latest video 3-minute video on the Pix4Japan YouTube video which features photos and video taken on Kinkanzan and Darumayama--two scenic mountains located on the Izu Peninsula in Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan. Darumayama (Mt. Daruma) stands at a height of 982 meters and is known for its winding trails among kuma bamboo grass. Darumayama offer visitors a chance to experience the natural beauty of the Izu Peninsula, views of the Suruga Bay Coastline, and on a clear day, a fantastic view of Mt. Fuji. The trailhead to Mt. Darumayama can be easily accessed from the Asebigahara Parking Lot located about 220 meters away on the Nishi-Izu Skyline toll road. On this photo shoot, my border collie and I hiked directly from Mt. Kinkan to Mt. Darumayama via Mt. Kodarumayama, which took me about 2 hours. Be forewarned that the trails for Mt. Kodarumayama and Mt. Darumayama include many wooden staircases going straight up the side of the mountain. No special hiking gear is required, but be sure to bring enough water with you since you will work up a sweat climbing all those stairs!

Beautiful view of Mt. Fuji on a clear sunny day in November.

Full view of Mt. Fuji

(Translated by Google) The climb from the Toda Pass parking lot takes about an hour one way. The path is well-maintained with stairs, so you can proceed with confidence. It's said to be for beginners, but the final section is steep, and my legs and hips were sore. Underestimating the 982m is a shame. 💦 Along the way, you can enjoy clear views of Toda Port, plants (thistles, gentians, etc.), and jojo-like trees (many of which are leaning to one side, perhaps due to strong winds). From the summit, you can see both Suruga Bay and Sagami Bay, but unfortunately, Mount Fuji was obscured by haze. (Original) 戸田峠駐車場から、片道約1時間の登山。 道は階段が良く整備されており、安心して進む事が出来ます。初心者向けとの事でしたが、終盤の勾配キツく、足腰バキバキ。982m甘く見ていると後悔します💦 道中、戸田港がよく見え、植物（アザミ・リンドウ等）やJOJO立ちする木（余程の強風が吹き付けるのか、一方向に傾いた木が多数）等、楽しめます。 頂上は、駿河湾・相模湾共に望めるのですが、霞がかり富士山見えず残念。

The beautiful bamboo-covered grass path, challenging ups and downs, and the sweeping views of Mt. Fuji are breathtaking. It's popular with beginners, so it's recommended for those making their mountain climbing debut. It's also attractive because it's part of the Izu Trail Journey trail running course.

They say it's the oldest wooden structure in Izu. The history of this place is very interesting, and I highly recommend coming at night for the illuminations!

The face of the Buddha statue is so merciful and peaceful. Noted on my wonder-tips site.

A hidden treasure. The bamboo store next to it also very nice

(Translated by Google) A Buddhist temple built by Masako Hojo, also known as the Nun Shogun, to pray for the repose of the soul of the second Shogun Yoriie. It is said to be the oldest building in Izu. Since he is the son of Yoritomo and Masako, I thought it would be quite big, but it turned out to be quite simple and quiet. About 5 minutes walk from Shuzenji. There are no big stairs and you can get there quickly. Fans of “Kamakura-dono no 13” should definitely check it out. (Original) 尼将軍こと北条政子が二代将軍頼家の冥福を祈って建てた経堂。 伊豆最古の建築物だそうです。 頼朝と政子の息子なだけに、さぞやデカいものかと思っていたら、かなり質素で周囲も静かでした。 修善寺からは徒歩5分程度。 大した階段もなくすぐに着きます。 「鎌倉殿の13人」ファンは是非。

(Translated by Google) Everyone who visits Shuzenji Temple goes to the Bamboo Path, but don't forget to visit Shigetsuden Hall. There is an absolutely amazing Buddha statue. A seated statue of Shaka Nyorai. It is a rare statue holding a lotus flower in its hand. The lotus flower blooms in paradise, and perhaps Hojo Masako, his mother, mourned Yoriie's death and prayed for his eternal paradise. A place of prayer where buildings and a Buddhist statue from the Kamakura period remain. Yoriie's grave is also there. Thinking about his untimely death and slowly putting your hands together in prayer adds depth to your visit to Shuzenji. While you're there, be sure to drive to the Okunoin, where Kobo Daishi trained. A historical picture scroll is displayed here (Original) 修善寺観光はみんな竹の小径修善寺に行きますがこの指月殿を忘れないで。 とにかく素晴らしい仏像がある。釈迦如来坐像。手に蓮の花をもっている珍しい像。蓮の花は極楽に咲く花、母北条政子は頼家公の死を悼んで、極楽往生を願ったのかもしれません。 鎌倉時代の建物と仏像残った祈りの場。頼家公のお墓もあります。 非業の死に想いを馳せ、ゆっくり手を合わせることが、修善寺を訪れることに深みをもたせてくれます。 合わせて弘法大師が修行をした奥の院も車で寄ってください。 歴史絵巻が開かれますぞ

(Translated by Google) [Izu/Shuzenji "A Tour of Michelin Green Guide Japan Two-Star Sites - Part 1"] Go through the park and follow the signs up the hill to Shigetsuden, just 70 meters away. As you walk up the charming stone-paved slope, you'll come across Wasabi Unagi Tsujimura on the corner, enticed by the fragrant aroma of eel. They serve the finest eel, "Deshiko," a new brand of eel from Lake Hamana, which is de-mudded and prepared in spring water from wasabi fields. I couldn't help but feel a sense of familiarity with the restaurant's use of local Lake Hamana eel. There are two stone staircases leading to Shigetsuden. Since this one narrows, continue further back and take the other stone staircase. Shigetsuden, a Historic Site Associated with Hojo Masako Shigetsuden is a sutra hall donated to Shuzenji Temple by Hojo Masako to commemorate the soul of Minamoto no Yoriie, the second shogun of the Kamakura shogunate. This wooden Buddhist hall, constructed in the early Kamakura period, is the oldest wooden structure in Izu, and its quiet presence exudes a tranquil atmosphere, as if time has stood still. The wooden seated statue of Shaka Nyorai enshrined in the hall is an ancient Buddha statue believed to have been made in the Kamakura period and is a designated cultural property of Shizuoka Prefecture. Standing 203cm tall with knees split 169cm, it is made of inlaid wood, primarily cedar and pine, and is unusual in its appearance, holding a lotus flower in its right hand. The Grave of Minamoto no Yoriie, the Unfortunate Shogun Who Died at Shuzenji Temple Minamoto no Yoriie, who died at the young age of 23 at Shuzenji Temple, is depicted as the second Lord of Kamakura in the historical drama "The Thirteen Lords of the Kamakura," and it seems that the number of people visiting his grave is on the rise.

(Translated by Google) This temple commemorates Minamoto no Yoriie, the second shogun of the Kamakura shogunate. It's pronounced "Shigetsuden." When I typed "Shizukiden" into Google Maps, a Kyoto-based company came up. (^^;) It was apparently built by Hojo Masako in memory of the assassinated Yoriie. A large Buddha statue is enshrined in a small shrine. Yoriie's grave is located behind it. It's a great place to quietly reflect on history. There's no admission fee.

(Translated by Google) Amagisan Kodo-ji Temple is a Soto Zen temple whose principal image is the Bodhisattva Kannon. This ancient temple was founded during the Tensho era (1573-1592) of the Muromachi period and was called Fukuju-an. The principal image is a statue said to have been created by the high priest Gyoki. The temple has been destroyed by several fires, and its records were also lost, so details about the temple are unknown. The temple is known as the place where American envoy (Consul in Shimoda) Townsend Harris and his interpreter Henry Heusken stayed in 1857.

I visited the park on 17/2 and Tohi cherry blossoms 🌸 are gorgeous. Seems like the falling flowers have just begun. There is so windy on the day of visit. There is a 2-hours parking for free.

Can enjoy seeing a local early bird Sakura in early February

One must visit this place and enjoy the foot hot spring on the road side free. Also you can enjoy the sun set at beach side, within few meters walk

Nice beach and parking lot. Even equipped with showers (outside) and toilet.

Nice park close to the beach. There's a foot bath too.

Small but beautiful park for relaxation

Earliest sakura

It’s a nice stop if you’re in the area to observe the beautiful scenery. It’s a great place to watch the sunset with your loved one. As other people mentioned, there aren’t any facilities available.

Nice observation deck between Toi and Mizima, only worth going to if you are touring around the coast

Very nice view point!

The views are really good from this observation point. However, it is just a stop. There are no facilities available at all. Don't expect anything besides the panoramic views. There is a statue there, but I would say it serves only as a landmark to find the place; not very remarkable on it's own.

A short ten minute walk up the road from the Toi beach side. Makes for a good view over the bay. Not a must but a good lookout to kill a few minutes.

Nice stop for a short rest from a long drive

Pro: Nice walk with a splendid view on the coast. Con: Few options for dining in the area (if any).

Falls is relatively small but place is very quite.. This fall is near to rechamp. So car parking is not a issue. Public Toilets are near by. Regarding steps point of view; number of steps are very less when compared to other.Totally you can enjoy nature nicely

Clean and well-maintained. The waterfall and its rock formations are very beautiful, and the place is very peaceful. Definitely worth the trip out.

A nice waterfall a bit off so we where alone exploring it. At some point in time you were able to walk behind the fall but the path had collapsed.

They preserved the nature and see a beautiful fall. Not seems like huge tourist attraction and it was very nice to visit

This waterfall was great! Easily accessible. Kawaii heart rock 🪨

It's pretty relaxing , you can feel the nature-connection in this place. The view is amazing and the scenery is pure natural.

Very nice fall. I like this one more than Jyoren no taki（淨蓮の滝）. Also you can walk along a river. I've never been there for the season for camping but there are camp sites, too.

Beautiful park! I really would love to come back to see the maples change color, but even now (early April) it was beautiful. I had a clear view of Fujisan from the top as well! There is open grassy areas too, would be great for a picnic or just a fine way to spend a morning relaxing in nature.

We should go there in falls because there are many red leaves trees. We’ve seen the Mt . Fuji with cap.

you can see fuji moutain from this view

Visited here in June. Only a park with green leaves and a viewing platform of Fuji Mountain.

On a nice sunny day, you can get a great view of Mt Fuji. I visited at the end of November, but it was a bit too late for the peak of fall colors.

Amazing view of mt Fuji!

Beautiful park with a waling trail leading to the Darumayama hiking area.

(Translated by Google) He gained a lot of public recognition through the taiga drama ``The 13 People of Kamakura-dono''. Yoritomo's younger brother and Yoshitsune's older brother. That's why my impression is so weak. A poor man who incurred the displeasure of Yoritomo, who was strict with his family, and was purged. It seems that Noriyori's grave is not in the precincts of a temple, but secluded on a hill. Less than 10 minutes walk from Shuzenji. Although there are slopes, there are no stairs, so it's okay even if you're not confident in your physical strength. (Original) 大河ドラマ「鎌倉殿の13人」で一般認知度もだいぶ高くなった人。 頼朝の弟で義経の兄。 だから印象がどうしても薄い。 身内に厳しい頼朝の不興を買い、粛正された可哀想な人。 お墓はお寺の境内などではなく、高台にひっそりとあるのが範頼らしい。 修善寺から歩いて10分以内。 坂道はあるものの、階段はないので体力に自信が無くても大丈夫。

(Translated by Google) He was the younger brother of Minamoto no Yoritomo, Shogun of the Kamakura Shogunate. Known as the "Kamo no Kanja," Noriyori had a kind and straightforward personality, including affection for his younger brother Yoshitsune and consideration for his brother's wife (Hojo Masako). This led to a misunderstanding by Yoritomo, who imprisoned him here and met a tragic end. *This is an explanation from the Shuzenji Tourist Association. In the end, Yoritomo killed his own family members out of suspicion, and "and then there was no one left." It was a very sad story. (Original) 鎌倉幕府将軍　源 頼朝の弟。蒲冠者と呼ばれた範頼は、弟義経への情愛や兄嫁（北条政子）への気遣いなど、優しく率直な性格であったがゆえに頼朝の誤解を招き、この地に幽閉され悲しい最期を遂げました。※｢修善寺観光協会｣の説明文です。結局、頼朝は自分の身内を猜疑心から殺してゆき、｢そして誰もいなくなった｣状態になるのです。とても哀しい気持ちになりました。

(Translated by Google) [Visited on Sunday, October 27, 2024] ``The grave of Minamoto no Noriyori'' includes ``Shuzenji'' → ``The grave of Minamoto no Noriie'' and the grave of 13 Yoriie vassals, ``The Thirteen Samurai (13 samurai)''. I visited this place after touring the grave of the deceased and the bamboo forest path. It is located on a hill a little far from Shuzenji Temple, but within walking distance 🚶 There are signs (display signs) along the way, so I think you can find it. Minamoto no Noriyori was the sixth son of Minamoto no Yoshitomo, and was called Gamanokaja. His mother was a prostitute in Ikeda-shuku, Totomi Province (present-day Iwata City, Shizuoka Prefecture), and he was born in Gamanomikuriya (present-day Hamamatsu City) near Ikeda, giving him the name Gama. It is said that he was raised by Fujiwara (Takakura) Suenori, a mid-ranking aristocrat in Kyoto, and that he acquired that character and took the name Noriyori. In 1180, when Yoshinaka and his older brother Yoritomo had a conflict, he and his younger brother Yoshitsune defeated Yoshinaka, and then defeated the Taira clan at the Battle of Ichinotani, becoming the governor of Mikawa (Mikawa no kami) by virtue of his efforts. I was appointed as Mikawa no Kami). After that, the relationship between Yoritomo and Yoshitsune deteriorated, and Yoritomo ordered Noriyori to subjugate Yoshitsune, but he refused, so Yoritomo became suspicious of him. During the Soga brothers' revenge in 1193, a false report of Yoritomo's death was reported, and a grieving Masako was told, ``As long as Noriyori is here, you can rest assured.'' '', Noriyori tried to make excuses, but in the end he was imprisoned in Shuzenji Temple. It is said that he was attacked by Kajiwara Kagetoki, and committed suicide at Shinko-in Temple under Hie Shrine. Noriyori, who together with Yoshitsune did his best for his older brother Yoritomo, was forced to commit suicide by Yoritomo in the end...I'm sure he must have regretted it😢 What a cruel time the Kamakura period was, when people had to doubt their parents, children, and even siblings. We visited around noon on a Sunday, and there was no one else there except for the two of us.

(Translated by Google) Minamoto no Yorinori's grave is located in Shuzenji, Izu City, Shizuoka Prefecture. Minamoto [Mikawa no kami] Yorinori was the younger brother of Minamoto no Yoritomo, the military commander. My younger brother played an active role in hunting down the Heike clan... When the relationship between Minamoto no Yoritomo and his other younger brother, Minamoto no Yoshitsune, deteriorated, Minamoto no Yoritomo ordered Minamoto no Yorinori to defeat Yoshitsune. However, Minamoto no Yorinori refused this life. This made Minamoto no Yoritomo suspicious. Afterwards, Yoritomo's safety was unknown due to an assassination attempt on Minamoto no Yoritomo during Makigari, and at that time, Yorinori said to Masako Hojo, ``As long as Yorinori is here, there is no need to worry,'' which led to Yorinori losing the position of Kamakura-dono. It was suspected that he was targeting her, and he was accused of conspiracy. I wonder if there's some slanderous comments from Yoritomo's retainers in the outfield... When his older brother, Minamoto no Yoritomo, safely survived the assassination attempt and returned to Kamakura, he imprisoned Minamoto no Yorinori in Shuzenji Temple. Yorinori may have had no intention of treason. However, misunderstandings lead to misunderstandings, and he is abandoned by his brother and imprisoned...and Yoritomo forces Kajiwara Kagetoki to succeed. That's pitiful. Minamoto no Yoritomo must have been tormented by doubts because he was at the top...the pressure of being chased from behind, the position where his life was threatened, and the possibility that his current position might be replaced. How sad that two of the most trusted brothers would kill each other... I guess the era I lived in made me that way. The cemetery is located on a hill that is very difficult to find. Main street of Shuzenji? From there, you enter through a very narrow road, but there is a small stone monument at the entrance that guides you to the cemetery. Don't miss it. We quietly joined hands and offered sake. Please feel free to stop by and bring something as an offering. I think Yorinori-sama will be happy too. By the way, there is a coin parking lot with the lowest price in the area diagonally across from the entrance to the Minamoto no Yorihan Tomb. It's a bit of a walk (about 700m?) to Shuzenji, but it's close enough that you can park your car and go for a tour. Just for reference. (Original) 静岡県伊豆市は修善寺に有ります「源頼範の墓」です。源【三河守】頼範は武衛•源頼朝の弟です。 平家追討などでは活躍をした弟ですが… 源頼朝ともう一人の弟•源義経との関係が悪化すると、源頼朝は源頼範に義経成敗を命じました。 しかし、源頼範はこの命を断ります。その事から源頼朝を疑心暗鬼にさせる事になります。 その後、巻狩中の源頼朝暗殺未遂事件で頼朝の安否が分からなくなり、その際に北条政子に「頼範有る限りご心配には及びません」と発言した事で、頼範は鎌倉殿の座を狙っているのではないか…とされ、謀反の疑い有りと嫌疑を掛けられてしまいます。外野の頼朝家臣の讒言とかも有るのかな… 兄の源頼朝は無事に暗殺未遂事件を乗り切り鎌倉に帰還すると、源頼範を修善寺へと幽閉しました。 頼範には謀反などとそんな気はサラサラ無かったのかもしれません。しかし誤解が誤解を生み兄から見放され幽閉され…そして頼朝は梶原景時に成敗をさせます。可哀想な事です。 源頼朝はトップに立つことで…後ろから追い立てられる様なプレッシャー、また命を狙われる立場や、今の自分の地位を取って代わられるかもという事から疑心暗鬼に苛まれていたのでしょう。もっとも信頼出来る兄弟で殺し合うとは…なんと悲しい事でしょう。生きた時代がそうさせてしまったのでしょう。 墓所は非常に分かりづらい高台に有ります。 修善寺のメインストリート？から、非常に狭い道を入りますが、入り口には小さな墓所案内の石碑が有ります。見逃さない様に。 静かに手を合わせて日本酒をお供えして参りました。 是非にブラリと訪れて何かお供えしてあげましょう。頼範様も喜ぶかと思います。 因みに源頼範墓所入口の斜向い辺りに、地域最安値のコインパーキング有ります。修善寺までは少し（700mぐらい？）歩きますが、そのまま車を止めて見学に行ける距離では有ります。参考まで。

(Translated by Google) It is located about a 5-minute walk from Prefectural Route 188 Shuzenji Toda Line toward the hill. It takes about 15 minutes on foot from Shuzenji Onsen town, but there is a small parking lot (charged) nearby. You climb up the side of a private house towards the hill, but there are some stairs along the way. There are two roads and you can go either way. The grave has a rest space and a pond, and the view from the hill is good. It was clean and well maintained. Next to the grave is the tea hermitage Fuyo, and there is a shop where you can soothe your tiredness after climbing up the mountain. There are no toilets in the grave, so it's best to approach the front when you climb up. (Original) 県道188号線　修善寺戸田線より高台に向かい徒歩5分ぐらいの場所にあります。修善寺温泉街からは徒歩15分ぐらいかかりますが近くに小山駐車場(有料)があります。民家の脇を高台に向かい登りますが途中は階段もあります。道が2本あり、どちらでも行けます。お墓には休憩スペースや池があり高台からの眺めも良いです。綺麗に掃除され管理もしっかり行なわれていました。お墓の隣には茶庵　芙蓉があり上ってきた疲れを癒してくれるお店があります。お墓にはトイレは無いので登ると前に寄って来たほうが良いです。

(Translated by Google) This is the tomb of Minamoto no Noriyori, also known as the ``Gama-kusha'', who became famous as one of the 13 members of the taiga drama Kamakura-dono. This place is far away from the hot spring town of Tokko no Yu and Shuzenji Temple, so there are few visitors. Also, since the tomb is located on the south slope, it is brighter than the Shizuki-dono in Minamoto no Yoriie-den. The pond here is also a paradise for newts. (Original) 大河ドラマ鎌倉殿の13人で一躍その名を知らしめた蒲冠者こと源範頼殿のお墓です。ここは温泉街の独鈷の湯や修禅寺から離れている事もあり、お参り人もまばらです。またお墓は南斜面にあるため、源頼家殿の指月殿よりも明るい感じです。またここにある池はイモリ君たちのパラダイスとなっています。

(Translated by Google) There is a sign that says "approach" on the road leading from the prefectural road, so it should be easy to find. Cars are not allowed, so you have to walk there. (Original) 県道から入る道のところには参道と書かれた案内板がありますのでわかりやすいと思います。車は入れないので徒歩で行くことになります。

Nice waterfall and shrine, unpersoned. You can climb a few stairs to take a close look and the geology is interesting. Free toilet. Good stop before hitting the highway out of Izu. Free parking.

The waterfalls were quite impressive. They were much higher than I expected from the pictures I had seen. Maybe 100 m tall. It rained a couple of days ago, but there wasn’t a lot of water coming over the waterfall. The Ohira shrine may be a better destination for Google maps. I got in a dreaded Infiniti loop going round and round on narrow roads to go to point A that you can see in one of the photos. Point A is probably a few hundred yards from the actual waterfall but is the wrong place! to go to to see the waterfall we literally went in the same circle two or three times in different directions and I gave up and use some other maps system. A nice place to hang out and have a snack or picnic. There are toilets there and a sink with running water. We saw a tree frog and a big what I would call bullfrog the shrine is very nice.

The wonderful falls near Baird Beer!

Nice point to stop if you go with your bike 😊

A very cute place to be passing by if you are in need of a break when taking a car trip through the peninsula

Great on a rainy day!

A beautiful and unusual falls just a few hundred meters from busstop on the highway that runs from Shuzenji south to Kawazu. (The road to the falls passes immediately beside the fire station.) I was the only person there when I visited about 4:30 PM on a weekday in June. Water levels were not so high when visited, but the falls was still impressive. Only about 10 minutes from Shuzenji by car. The bus also stops here at Asahitaki 旭滝 . There are restroom/washroom/wc facilities, a shelter, and a small parking lot.

(Translated by Google) I don't know where the money comes from to put on such an exhibition, but it's not a for-profit organization. However, the exhibits are very nice, and the buried cedar and cypress trees are on display, and they have a wonderful fragrance. I think it's very valuable, but there's a bit of advertising involved, as it's a non-profit. Admission is of course free. There are a lot of pamphlets available. (Original) これだけの展示をするのにどこからお金が出ているのか、、営利団体じゃないからね。しかし展示物はとてもよろしくて、埋もれていた杉の木やヒノキの木が展示されていますが、香りが素晴らしく良い。すごく貴重なものだと思うのですが、ちょっと宣伝がね、非営利だから。入場はもちろん無料。パンフレット類がとても豊富。

Why not release it for free first? (Original) ジオパークの…何なのかがまずわからない。 建物の大きさからすると小さそう。 入場有料、というちょっと残念な作り。 まず無料開放してみたらどうでしょう。

Interesting spot, the Daruma temple sports one of the largest Daruma monk statues in Japan. Once you go through the temple and pray to various Daruma idols you go into the souvenir area where you can drink a wonderful herbal tea for free. Delicious! Expect to spend a bit of change at this temple.

(Translated by Google) This is a temple that caught my attention when I visited this area before. This time I decided to stop by and give it a try. When I entered the parking lot 🅿️, an old man said, ``Welcome.'' There were no cars in the parking lot 🅿️. As I followed the old man's instructions, I immediately came to the stairs, and there was an old woman and an old man cleaning the temple grounds. When I went up the stairs, an old lady explained to me in a way that I couldn't quite understand, speaking too fast, using a dialect, and having a bad tongue. Apparently there is an admission fee to enter the main hall and pray. For some reason they deducted 100 yen from the 500 yen price, so we paid 800 yen for the two of us. We were a little confused as we had expected to be able to pray easily, but since it was a temple, we thought it would be rude to refuse, so we entered the main hall. The old lady followed me the whole time and explained things to me. In the main hall, wishes from celebrities and singers are pasted under the daruma. When we paid the admission fee, we each received two sticks of incense sticks, and there was also a stick of incense sticks in the main hall with a sign saying ¥100. There's no place to walk around inside, just look at the daruma doll and you're done. The old lady said, ``Please feel free to take photos,'' and asked, ``Shall I take a photo?'' and took a picture of us. Immediately I reached the exit and opened the door to find that it was a shop that was twice as large as the main hall! ️A female clerk came and explained about the Daruma doll, and an old lady also explained it to us. At first, I was thinking of buying a Daruma doll and going home, but I got fed up with the businessmanship and ended up buying just a bell keychain that made a good sound. I had no idea that there was a temple that looked like a treasure house in the countryside. Of course I won't be visiting again. (Original) 以前、こちら方面に出向いた際に気になっていたお寺です。今回はぜひ寄ってみようということで立ち寄りました。駐車場🅿️に入るとおじいさんが「いらっしゃいませ」。駐車場🅿️には車は1台もありませんでした。おじいさんの指示に沿って歩くとすぐに階段があり境内にはおばあさんと掃除をしているおじいさんがいらっしゃいました。階段を上がるとおばあさんがよく聞き取れない早口と方言と滑舌の悪さで説明をしてくれます。どうやら本堂に入ってお参りするには拝観料なるものがいるようです。￥500のところなぜか￥100引いてくださり2人で￥800を支払いました。私たちも簡単にお参りが出来るものと思っていたので少々困惑しましたが、お寺ということもあり断るのも失礼と本堂に入りました。おばあさんはずっとついて回り説明をしてくれました。本堂には芸能人や歌手などの願掛けがだるまの下に貼り付けています。拝観料を支払った時にお線香を2本ずついただきましたが本堂にも￥100と書いてお線香が置いてありました。中は歩いて回るところがあるわけでもなくだるまを見て終わりです。おばあさんが「写真は自由に撮ってください」と言い「撮りましょうか❓」と私たちを撮ってくださいました。すぐに出口となり扉を開けると何とそこは本堂の2倍くらい広い売店だったのです‼️女店員さんが1人いらっしゃってだるまの置物の説明をしてくださりおばあさんも説明をしてくださいました。当初はだるまでも買って帰ろうかなと思っていましたが、あまりの商売根性に嫌気が差し音の良い鈴のキーホルダーのみ購入し帰りました。田舎の秘宝館の様なお寺があるとは思いませんでした。再訪はもちろんありません。

(Translated by Google) You can see the Daruma Temple of Mount Fuji. You need a ticket to enter the main hall. The Daruma here looks different from other Darumas. It is very solemn and special. I highly recommend it to everyone. (Original) 可以看得到富士山的達摩寺，進入正殿需要門票，這裡的達摩跟其他的達摩長得不一樣，非常莊嚴，而且很特別，很推薦給大家

(Translated by Google) You can enter by paying the admission fee. Instead of 400 yen, they changed it to 300 yen. I was very grateful for Daruma-sama's kind explanations and photos. However, they are so kind and polite that I feel like they don't feel sorry if I don't buy something from them. The Bodhidharma inside was a highlight, and I was also surprised by the Bodhidharma written in the Heart Sutra. (Original) 拝観料を払うと中に入れます。400円のところ300円にして下さいました。達磨様の色んな説明や、写真などを撮って下さり、親切でありがたかったです。ただ、あまりにも親切丁寧なので、何か買わないと申し訳ない無いような気がします。 中の達磨様は圧巻で、また、般若心経で書かれた達磨様には驚きました。

(Translated by Google) The temple suddenly appeared on the side of the wall around the curve of the road, so I almost passed it before I realized it. It is a free zone outside the building, but there is an admission fee to see the Daruma Daishi statue. Since I went in the evening, the entrance fee was 400 yen. It felt more like a theme park inspired by a temple than a temple. There is a stamp (Original) 道路のカーブを曲がった壁側に突如現れられるお寺なので気がつくと通り越してしまいそうでした。建物の外までは無料ゾーンですが達磨大師像を拝見するのには入館料がかかります。夕方に行ったので入館料400円でした。お寺と言うよりはお寺をイメージしたテーマパークって感じでした。御朱印あります

(Translated by Google) There is an admission fee, but I recommend entering the main hall. Smashing plates is also fun. (Original) 拝観料は必要ですが本堂に入ることをオススメします お皿割りも楽しいてます

(Translated by Google) There was a thorough explanation and I learned a lot. I was allowed to take photos freely, so I took lots. I also got some beans from the bean-throwing ceremony the other day. (Original) 丁寧な説明があって、勉強になりました。写真も自由に撮っていいということで、たくさんとりました。 先日の豆まきの豆も、いただきました。

(Translated by Google) The large camphor tree is magnificent and gives you a sense of power. If you pay the admission fee, you can see Mabuyu. As I walked past the Jizo statue and entered the mine shaft, I instantly felt like I was in another world, and it felt a bit unsettling. It is said that it is good to pour hot water over the part of your body that you would like to heal. I spent it all over the place. Although it was short, I felt even more uncomfortable as I went inside, but I paid close attention to it. (Original) 大きなクスノキが立派でパワーを感じられます。拝観料を払うとまぶ湯が見られます。お地蔵様の脇を通って進み、坑道を入ると一瞬で別世界の様で、ちょっとむっとする感じでした。お地蔵様に、自分の治したい部分へお湯をかけると良いそうです。あちこちかけてしまいました。短いですが、奥へ入ると更にムッとしましたが、念入りにお参りさせて頂きました。

(Translated by Google) Kichijozan Anraku-ji Temple is a Soto Zen temple with a Shaka Nyorai statue as its principal image, making it an ancient Soto Zen temple. The hot springs that originated from Toi Onsen, which spring from within the Toi Gold Mine, are located within the Anraku-ji Temple grounds and are also known as "Mabuyu." Legend has it that the temple dates back to 663, when the high priest Gyoki Bodhisattva visited the area and founded Iozan Daisen-ji Temple, which enshrines a Medicine Buddha statue that he had carved himself. The temple has experienced periods of prosperity and decline, but in 1534, Zen Master Daiyo Seiken, the eighth abbot of Saisho-in Temple (the third temple of the sacred site), renovated the temple buildings, converted the religion, and renamed it, and it has remained as it is today. (Original) 吉祥山安楽寺といい曹洞宗のお寺で御本尊は釈迦如来になり曹洞宗の古刹になります。 土肥金山の中より湧き出した土肥温泉発祥の湯で、安楽寺の境内にあり別称で「まぶゆ」と呼ばれます。 白雉十四年(663年)にこの地を訪れた高僧の行基菩薩が自ら刻んだ薬師如来を祀る医王山大泉寺を創建したのが始まりであると伝わります、寺は隆盛と荒廃を繰り返した後天文三年(1534年)に最勝院(霊場第三番札所)第八世の大用精賢禅師により伽藍の整備・改宗・改称が行われて今日に至っている。

(Translated by Google) When I went to the main hall to pay the entrance fee for Mabuyu, I found it to be a splendid temple with a large bowl of kusu. At this age, I can't help but feel grateful just to hear the name of this temple. (Original) まぶ湯の見学料を払おうとほんどう本堂に行ったら、大クスと共に立派なお寺でした。 この歳になると、こちらのお寺の名前だけでも、ありがたく思えちゃって仕方ありません😅

(Translated by Google) It's a small temple, and Mabuyu passes through the right side of the front gate. You can pay the entrance fee and receive a stamp at the entrance of the temple. There was also a fortune teller in the main hall. Mabuyu is located right after you go through the tunnel with a narrow ceiling. Pour hot water over the part of the Jizo statue that you want to heal and pray. It seemed like it would be beneficial. (Original) 小さいお寺で、まぶ湯は門前の右側を通って行きます。お寺の玄関で拝観料の支払いと御朱印をもらえます。本堂にはおみくじもありました。まぶ湯は天井の狭い坑道の中を進むとすぐにあります。熱めのお湯をお地蔵様の治したい部位にかけてお参りをします。ご利益ありそうでした。

(Translated by Google) The mabuyu here was good. If you go to the right in front of the main hall, you will find a cave where Mabuyu is gushing out. It seems to be the source of Toi Onsen, and is said to cure injuries and illnesses. The 1000-year-old camphor tree is also spectacular. Parking is free, but the road to get there is narrow, so be careful. (Original) ここのまぶ湯は良かったです。本堂の手前を右手に進むと洞窟があってそこにまぶ湯が、湧き出ています。土肥温泉の源泉みたいで怪我や病を治すとの事です。1000年の樹齢の楠木も見事です。駐車場は無料ですが行く迄の道は狭いので注意です。

(Translated by Google) A large camphor tree, designated as a natural monument by the prefecture, is located in front of the gate, and the magnificent 1,000-year-old tree welcomes you. It is a Soto sect temple with a well-maintained grounds and a nice atmosphere. Also try the Mabuyu in the back. (Original) 県指定天然記念物の大楠が門前にあり、樹齢1000年ととてつもなく壮大な樹木が迎えてくれます。曹洞宗で境内も手入れがされており雰囲気の良いお寺です。 裏手のまぶ湯にも是非。

(Translated by Google) The main attractions are Mabuyu and Oksu. The Daikusu stands in front of the Sanmon gate, not within the temple grounds, so it is easy to spot and serves as a landmark when heading towards Anrakuji Temple. (Original) 鉱湯(まぶゆ)と大クスが見どころ。 大クスは境内ではなく山門の前にそびえてるので安楽寺へ向かう際は目印にもなり分かり易い。

I only spent 13 minutes in here (glad it’s free) on my way to catch a bus, but it was very interesting. There was a 7 minute video that teaches the origins of the Izu peninsula and it was fascinating.

Absolutely incredible museum. Anyone keen to learn about the geological history of Japan, the Mt Fuji region and the Izu Peninsula should visit here. Not only does Shuzenji have a quaint town with lovely hot springs, but also a rich history formed over millions of years. The museum is a single large room, but don’t let that put you off as it is packed full of extremely informative and interesting displays and hands on exhibits. Information throughout is both in Japanese and English, even the introduction video which was excellent. Expect to spend a couple of hours here to take it all in, and an hour if you’re just browsing. Enjoy this wonderful place that is also free! It is a global UNESCO GeoPark.

To learn about geological history of Izu, this place so good both of local and tourist, foreign people friendly. Many things also written by English.

This is a good place to visit if you are interested in the geological history of the Izu Peninsula. It is small but admission is free.

good!

(Translated by Google) This free-to-enter facility uses the latest projection mapping, videos, and explanatory panels to clearly explain the formation of the Izu Peninsula, which moved from the south on the movement of tectonic plates and collided with Honshu, leaving only land, as well as its mysterious topography and the history of volcanic activity. With some knowledge of geology, it was easy to understand for me, but I felt it might be a little difficult for others. It's well worth knowing that about 20 million years ago, the Izu Peninsula was located far south of Honshu, several hundred kilometers from the mainland, and was a group of volcanoes submerged on the floor of the Pacific Ocean. However, as the Philippine Sea Plate moved northward, it approached Honshu and collided with it about 1 million years ago, resulting in the peninsula's current shape. (Original) プレートの動きに乗っかって南から移動してきて、本州に衝突して大地として残った伊豆半島の成り立ち、地形の不思議、火山活動の変遷などを最新のプロジェクションマッピングや映像、説明パネルで分かりやすく解説している無料で見学できる施設です。 地質学に多少の知識があった自分には分かりやすかったですが、そうでないと少し難しいのではと感じました。 伊豆半島が、約2,000万年前には本州から数百km先の遥か南にあって、太平洋の海底に沈む火山群だったものがフィリピン海プレートの北上の動きに合わせて、 本州に接近、約100万年前に衝突して現在の半島の形になったということは知っておいて損はないと思います。

(Translated by Google) Although it is just a facility located in the basement of Shuzenji General Hall, you can feel the passion of the staff at the exhibits. The content is so comprehensive that it feels a shame to offer it for free. There is also a guide to the whole of Izu. Highly recommended! (Original) 修善寺総合会館の地下にある一施設なのに、係員の方の熱量を感じる展示内容。 無料では申し訳ない位に就実した内容です。 伊豆全体の案内もあります。 オススメ！

You spent a lot of money to bring the sand, but you didn't spend a penny to make it nice and more developed..the ugly useless green fences should be removed and if you are worried that the sand flyes away then build a 1.5meter walking wall at the beginning of the beach basically just after the parking space and make the top in wood with lights so people can walk on it and get down to the sand. Also a Beach volley pitch, some game for kids and some palm trees on the beach would make it more esotic. Also it should be cleaned and put a big sign at the entrance with written Odoi Beach and eventually also from Toi an other sign with the directions to this beach. Also clean it and put some nice low volume music in summer instead of bothering people with the microphone message at each hour...

It’s a pretty good beach with free parking. A bit debris ridden and I didn’t see anywhere to rinse off but in the grand scheme of beaches in this area, it’s alright, worth spending time here.

Beautiful beach

(Translated by Google) It's the best! Toi Beach was also good, but the water was clearer and the waves were calmer here. The beach wasn't too crowded, and parking was free. There are also free showers and toilets. The water gets a little steep, so please be careful with children. (Original) 最高です！土肥ビーチもよかったですが、より透明度も高く波も穏やかで楽しめました。ビーチもそんなに混んでないし、駐車場も無料です。無料のシャワー、トイレもあります。少し急深になるので、子どもは気を付けてください。

(Translated by Google) I found this place on a blog more than 10 years ago, and ever since then, this is the only place I use for swimming. From this year, a simple small shop has been opened a 1-minute walk from the parking lot, and the facilities have become even better. (There is also an outdoor eat-in area at the shop, where you can find food such as pizza (homemade pot-grilled), drinks, shaved ice, fries, etc., rental goods such as floats and mats, and hot showers available for 300 yen.) *Parking lot is 1000 yen for regular cars. (It's close to the parking lot from the beach. It's not that big of a parking lot, so you'll have to wait for a space around noon.) *The water is fresh and cold, but you can use the two showers and changing rooms for free. *Toilets are nearby *There is a lifesaver And best of all, even though it's a sandy beach, the seawater is so beautiful! ! There are no beach huts, BBQs, etc. are prohibited, and no loud music is played, so there are no groups or couples making too much noise, and it is relatively empty, so you can play on the shore and observe creatures near the river mouth. It's a wonderful and fun place to bring your snorkel and underwater glasses. just There are sea urchins and sea urchins near the wave-dissipating block and on the reef, so be careful. (Original) もうかれこれ10年以上前にとあるブログでここを見つけて以来、海水浴にはここしか利用していません 今年からは駐車場から徒歩1分の場所に簡易的な小さな売店ができて、ますます設備が充実していました （売店には屋外イートインもあり、ピザ(手作り釜焼き)やドリンク、カキ氷、ポテトetcの食べ物や、浮き輪やござ等の貸出グッズや、300円で利用できる温水シャワーがある） ＊駐車場は普通車1000円 (浜から駐車場まで近い。そんなには大きな駐車場ではないので、昼頃には空き待ち) ＊真水で冷たいですが、2基あるシャワーと更衣室が無料で使える ＊トイレがすぐ近くにある ＊ライフセイバーがいる そして何より、砂浜なのに海水が凄く綺麗！！ 海の家的なものは無くBBQ等は禁止でうるさい音楽等も流れていないので、変に騒ぐようなグループやカップルはおらず、比較的空いていて、磯遊びや河口付近の生き物観察もでき、シュノーケルや水中メガネ等を持って行くと素晴らしく楽しい場所です ただ 波消しブロック付近や岩礁には、ウニやゴンズイも居るので注意が必要

(Translated by Google) The day we visited was calm and peaceful. We arrived late at night, but it seemed like many people arrived early in the morning. The parking lot is large, so there was no need to worry about finding a spot. We're not sure what the swimming season will be like. There were a few fishermen there, but it wasn't crowded. The toilets were clean and there was a water source where you could wash your feet. There were also places to eat. (Original) 行った日は凪で穏やかでした。深夜に到着しましたが、早朝に来る人が多かったように思います。駐車場は広く、停められないという心配はなさそうです。海水浴シーズンはどうなるか分かりません。 釣り人も数人いましたが、混んでなかったです。 トイレもきれいで足を洗える水場もあります。 食事するところもありました。

(Translated by Google) Odoi Beach Arrived before 9am during the long summer holidays. The parking lot is already about half full. There is still space to pitch a tent. Parking lot: 1000 yen for light/regular cars, 500 yen for motorcycles Simple changing room free of charge. Free shower. There are public toilets. When I paid, they didn't give me any specific directions, and when I parked, I was told to go further in. So, I was told that if I parked the car, I wouldn't be able to get out because the exit direction was fixed. I would like you to guide me from the beginning. The shower is cold with fresh water, and there is no enclosure, so you can't take off your swimsuit and wash it, so you can't get the sand off. We recommend the hot shower room at the nearby food stall village for 300 yen. You can also take a shower and change your clothes. There are only two showers and two changing rooms, so it gets crowded quickly. The waves were a little high and I enjoyed it, probably because of the weather, but if you were in shallow water, you would get pulled in quite a bit after the waves came. The water gets deep as soon as you enter the water, so children under elementary school age should be careful. There is a lifesaver, who smiles and kindly warns parents with children, giving the impression that they are in good hands. It's not crowded and you can enjoy swimming in the sea. If you leave your car for something like food on the way and want to come back, just ask the receptionist and they will reserve a parking spot for you (not necessarily in the same spot).When re-entering, please show your receipt. show. (Original) おどい海水浴場 夏の大型連休中、9時前に到着。既に駐車場は半分近く埋まっている。 テントを張るスペースはまだある。 駐車場 軽・普通車1000円、二輪車500円 簡易更衣室無料。 シャワー無料。 公衆トイレあり。 金を払うと特に案内してくれなくて、停めたらもっと奥行けって。で、停めたら出る方向が決まっているので出られなくなるって言われた。 最初から案内してほしい。 シャワーは真水で冷たく、囲いなどがないので、水着を脱いで洗うことが出来ない為、砂が落とし切れない。 近くの屋台村の温水シャワー室300円のほうがおススメ。 シャワーを浴びて着替えも出来る。 シャワーも更衣室も2つしかないので、すぐ混雑する。 波は天候のせいか、ちょっと高めで楽しめたが、浅瀬にいると、波が来た後結構引き込まれる。 海に入るとすぐ深くなるので、小学生以下は注意が必要。 ライフセーバーがいて、お子様連れの親には笑顔で優しく注意を促していて、しっかりしている印象。 ぎゅうぎゅうに混んでいなくて、程よく海水浴を楽しめる。 途中でご飯などで車で出て、また戻りたい場合は、受付に声を掛けて行くと、駐車場を確保しておいてくれる（同じ場所とは限らない）再入場する際は、領収証を見せる。

(Translated by Google) I stopped by when I stayed overnight at Toi Onsen the other day. There is a fish tank for horse mackerel and sea bream, and it is fun to be able to fish on the sea. I caught the horse mackerel in an instant and brought it home to Nyan's as a souvenir. Horse mackerel is 350 yen per horse and they will even drain the blood for you. (Original) 先日土肥温泉に一泊した際に立ち寄りました。鯵と鯛の生け簀があって、海の上で釣りが出来るのが楽しいですね。鯵は一瞬で釣れて、ニャンズにもお土産で持って帰りました。鯵は1匹350円で血抜きまでやってくれます。

(Translated by Google) *Resuming operations from April 2024* Although I had no experience in fishing, I visited the company in June after it reopened because I had participated in a crowdfunding campaign to revive the company. There is a fish tank mainly for horse mackerel and another fish tank mainly for larger fish, and when I asked the husband of the staff about the type of fish, he found that there were a lot of porgies swimming around that day. There were also schools of porgies swimming outside the float, attracted by the food sprinkled in the fish tank. The sea was highly transparent, so I could clearly see the fish swimming close to the surface, and as someone with no fishing experience, it was fun to see if they would bite or not. As soon as you hang your rod outside the small fish cage, a school of fish will come and attack your bait. Is this what you call eating? Although my husband carefully taught me how to attach the bait, I was still inexperienced, and although I caught a few fish a few times, most of them ended up with the bait taken away. There was more than I expected in one pack of frozen shrimp bait, and I thoroughly enjoyed my first experience fishing for just under three hours in the morning. The porgies outside the float didn't pay any attention to me, so I'd like to do some preparation and try again so I can get them to bite. (Original) ＊2024.4月から営業再開しています＊ 釣りは未経験なのですが、復活を目指すクラウドファンディングに参加したご縁で再開後の6月にお伺いしました。 アジがメインの生簀とより大きな魚がメインの生簀があり、スタッフの旦那さんに魚の種類をお伺いしたところこの日はメジナがたくさん泳いでいました。 生け簀に撒かれるエサに誘き寄せられてフロートの外側にも同じくメジナが群れで泳いでいました。 海の透明度が高いので海面近くを泳いでいる魚がはっきりと見えて、釣り未経験者としては食いつくかどうかが見られて楽しかったです。 小型魚の生け簀の外側で竿を垂らすとすぐに魚の群れがやってきて餌を突いてきます。これが入れ食いというやつでしょうか…！ 旦那さんに餌の付け方から丁寧に教えていただいたもののやはり未経験者、2,3回釣れはしましたがほとんどは餌を持っていかれて終わってしまいました。 餌の冷凍小エビ1パックが思った以上に量があり、午前中の3時間弱、初体験の釣りを目一杯楽しませていただきました。 フロートの外のメジナに見向きもされなかったので、食いついてもらえるように予習をしてまた挑戦したいです。

(Translated by Google) Additional information for outdoor anglers. I learned this from the site manager. I hope it helps someone. The following are the regulations. Unpublished regulations - Bringing your own fishing rod (outdoor fishing) costs 2,500 yen. - Rods must be 3m or shorter, and only one rod is permitted. - Only foot-based fishing, such as bottom fishing and pulse fishing, is permitted. - The end time for outdoor fishing includes the time until the rod is put away. Prohibited behaviors - Casting from above - Fishing methods that disturb divers, such as lures and live bait fishing - Fishing in the fish tanks using a fishing rod you brought with you (you can borrow a rod from the site manager). (Original) 外釣り者向けの追加情報です。管理人の方から伺いました。 誰かの役に立てば。以下レギュレーション等。 公表されていないレギュレーション等 ・竿の持ち込み(外釣り)は2,500円。 ・竿は3m以下・竿は1本まで。 ・胴付き・脈釣り等足元での釣りのみ許可。 ・外釣り終了の時間は納竿まで含めた時間。 NG行動 ・上からのキャスティング ・ルアー・泳がせ釣り等ダイバーに迷惑がかかるような釣り方 ・持ち込み竿を使用しての生簀での釣り(管理人に言えば竿を貸し出してくれます)

(Translated by Google) We went with our family, including our children. I thought we would need a fishing rod per person, but that wasn't the case, so I thought one rod would be enough. We caught fish almost in no time. It was a feeding frenzy, so be careful not to overfish, as you are not allowed to release the fish you catch. However, they bled them for us, so we were able to bring them home fresh and delicious. However, it was hot, so it's essential to take precautions against heatstroke and the heat. I think it would be useful to bring a parasol or something. (Original) 子供連れで家族で利用させてもらいました。釣り竿は一人1本必要かと思っていたらそんな事ないので、1本あれば十分かなと思いました。ほぼ入れ食いですぐに釣れてしまいました。釣り上げた魚はリリース禁止なので釣り過ぎ注意です。ただ血抜きをしてもらえたので自宅まで新鮮な状態で持ち帰れて美味しく頂くことができました。ただ、暑いので熱中症対策、暑さ対策は必須です。日傘等はあると便利かなと思います。

(Translated by Google) My fishing enthusiast friend took me there and we had a great time. It wasn't raining and we were able to catch some fish. (Original) 釣り趣味のツレが連れてくれてもらい、ソコに楽しめました。雨天もなく無事釣れました

(Translated by Google) It's fun because even children can catch it right away. The pace is about 6 horse mackerel in 15 minutes! (Original) 子どもでもすぐ釣れるので楽しいです。 15分でアジ6匹位のペースです！

You can see everything from here. Day or night it is beautiful.

Nice environment

This charming red bridge spanning the Katsura River in Shuzenji has been one of Izu's most photographed spots since the Edo period. Originally built in 1834 as part of the Tokaido highway network, the current structure faithfully replicates the traditional design after careful reconstruction. What makes it special: • Vibrant vermilion hue that pops against the surrounding greenery • Perfect arched reflection in the river's calm waters • Adjacent to Shuzenji Temple and bamboo forest for easy combining • Evening illuminations that create magical views The bridge's name ("Kokei" meaning "Scenic View") was bestowed by a passing scholar who declared it one of Japan's most beautiful crossings. Its raised center arch once accommodated boat traffic carrying tea and silk to nearby hot spring inns. More than just a crossing, it's a living postcard of old Japan. Tip: Visit at sunrise when morning mist swirls around the bridge's pillars. The small teahouse at its foot serves excellent matcha with bridge views. Historical Note: The original bridge was washed away in an 1870 flood. Local craftsmen rebuilt it using traditional techniques in 1875, maintaining the distinctive curvature that makes it so photogenic. Perfect for: • Photography enthusiasts • History buffs • Romantic strolls • Autumn color viewing (the surrounding maples are spectacular) Don't Miss: The nearby "Bridge of Love" where couples traditionally attach padlocks - a modern tradition contrasting beautifully with Kokei's ancient heritage.

(Translated by Google) Also known as Akogare Bridge, it is a bridge where love is fulfilled and is a popular photo spot. (Original) 別名あこがれ橋と呼ばれており、恋愛成就の橋 記念撮影場所として人気です

(Translated by Google) The area isn't particularly large, but it's just the right distance for a leisurely stroll. It's lit up at night, so it's not too dark and you don't have to worry. However, I think it would be better if the lighting was a little more striking. (Original) 周辺は広くはないものののんびり散策するのにちょうどよい距離。 夜もライトアップされているので暗くもなく安心。 ただライトアップももう少し映える感じにすると良いのかな〜とも。

(Translated by Google) This park is on the way to Shuzenji, and is well maintained and beautiful. There is a tennis court and a field right next to it, so the whole family can enjoy it. There are some playground equipment in the park, so I think it is just right for children in the lower grades or up to kindergarten age. There are benches in the shade of the trees, so it is comfortable to spend time there, and you can see all around, so you can keep an eye on your children, which is reassuring. There is a convenience store right across the traffic light in front of it, so it was convenient.

The cherry blossoms bloom from late March to early April, and you can enjoy cherry blossom viewing. When Kensaku Shimaki visited Shuzenji Onsen in 1944 to recuperate from an illness, he saw a red frog trying to cross from the middle of the Katsura River to the other bank, and this was the subject of his short story, ``Aka Frog.'' It is said that a small park was built in this place and called Red Frog Park. I think it's a good place to cool down because the wind blows out in some places. 2022.07.Used.

(Translated by Google) The park is named after the title of a novel by author Kensaku Shimaki. The park's description reads: "He was staying at a hot spring inn in Shuzenji to recuperate from a chest ailment. While gazing at the river nearby, he spotted a red frog. The frog swam desperately to get to the other side, but was swept away and repeatedly crawled out, until finally it ran out of energy and was swallowed up into the whirlpool. Kensaku, who was near death, looked at the frog's efforts to live with deep sympathy and emotion, and was deeply moved by the tranquility of the frog, which possesses only those things that are obedient to fate. After returning to Tokyo, he wrote the famous short story "Red Frog." It was published after his death in 1946, and is said to be his posthumous work." (Original) 作家 島木健作氏の小説タイトルが公園名になってます 公園の解説には 胸部疾患の療養のため修善寺の温泉宿に滞在していた。この付近で川を見つめていると一匹の赤蛙が目に入った。蛙は向こう岸へ渡ろうとして一生懸命に泳ぎ、押し流されて、這い上がることを繰り返しているうち、ついに精魂尽きて渦の中へ飲み込まれてしまった。死期の近かった健作は、蛙の生への努力を共感をもって感慨深く眺め、運命に従順なものだけをもつ静けさに強く感動し、帰京後、有名な短編「赤蛙」を書いた。発表は彼の死後の昭和21年で遺稿とも言われている。

(Translated by Google) -English below- Although it's a small park, you can enjoy beautiful scenery with cherry blossoms in spring, fireflies in summer, and colorful leaves in autumn.

(Translated by Google) This is a small park on the banks of Takishita Bridge at the west end of the Shuzenji hot spring town, and is said to be where the writer Kensaku Shimaki got the idea for his short story ``Akafrog.''

I ate Shuzenji pudding that I bought while walking around Shuzenji, and took a nap while listening to the sound of the river.

(Translated by Google) Akakaeru Park in Shuzenji, Shizuoka Prefecture. A famous spot to see Genji fireflies. You can see Genji fireflies here. There is a biotope in the park along the Katsura River where fireflies live. From late May to mid-June, they hold an event called "Firefly Evening." Hotel guests can watch the fireflies in yukata robes. The park is lit up at night, so you can just drop by. I went there in mid-June, and blue lights were shining in the biotope. I was happy because it was my first time seeing Genji fireflies. I thought the color of their light was bluer than that of Heike fireflies. By the way, Heike fireflies emit a yellow-green light. And Heike fireflies are about half the size of Genji fireflies. The name Akakaeru Park comes from the location of the novel "Akakaeru" by the author Kensaku Shimagi. The author was inspired to write the novel when he saw a red-breasted frog trying to cross the Katsura River while recuperating at Shuzenji Onsen. This was written on a signboard in the park. Recommended for watching fireflies. You can easily see fireflies.

A tinytiny shabby temple with closed door—— can't see any buddhist statues. Only two Cherry Blossom Tree in the yard.

(Translated by Google) It's about a 10 minute walk from Matsubara Park. Although the scale was small, the Toi cherry blossoms 🌸 were blooming beautifully. Visited on 2025.01.30 The flowering status was close to full bloom. (Original) 松原公園から徒歩10分ぐらいです。 規模は小さいながら見事に土肥桜🌸が咲いてました。 2025.01.30訪問 開花状況は満開に近かったです。

Let's stay clean and quiet. (Original) 住宅地の中にあります。見事な土肥桜が一本、ふらりと眺めて所要時間15分ほど。 解放して下さっているお寺に感謝！ 綺麗に静かに過ごしましょう。

(Translated by Google) In the garden of the temple of the Otani sect of Shinshu Buddhism, there is an old Doi cherry tree that is over 50 years old and blooms with beautiful red-pink flowers. There is a parking lot, but the entrance from Prefectural Route 17 (Numazu Toi Line) is narrow and only small cars can enter. Approximately 5 to 6 cars can be parked. You can leave your car at Matsubara Park and walk there in about 10 minutes. The logs of the Toi cherry tree are on the right side as you go down the stairs of the management office of Maruyama Sports Park, but I thought that the Toi cherry tree of Manpukuji Temple is older and closer to the log. Although it was just one tree, it was very beautiful and combined with Manpuku-ji Temple, it really became a picture. (Original) 真宗大谷派の寺院の庭には樹齢50年以上の土肥桜の古木が一本あり見事な紅いピンク色の花を咲かせています。駐車場はありますが県道17号線(沼津土肥線)からの入り口が狭く小型車しか入れませんでした。5〜6台ぐらいは停められます。松原公園に車を置き、徒歩で10分ぐらいで行けます。土肥桜の原木が丸山スポーツ公園の管理事務所階段を降り右側にありますが萬福寺の土肥桜の方が古く原木に近いのではと思いました。一本ですがとても綺麗で萬福寺と相まって凄く絵に成っていました。

(Translated by Google) There is a spectacular Doi cherry tree that is worth seeing. The Toi cherry blossoms here are probably the earliest to reach their peak. They will already start to disperse in February. The entrance is marked by a red mailbox. There is no parking lot (the space in front is private land). Leave it in the parking lot near Flower Clock Park and walk. (Original) 見事な見応えある土肥桜があります。 ここの土肥桜が、おそらく一番見頃になるのが早いでしょう。 ２月にはもう散り始めてしまいます。 入口は、赤いポストが目印。駐車場なしです（前の空間は民地です）。花時計公園のところの駐車場に置いて歩きましょう。

(Translated by Google) Although it is only one Doi cherry tree, it is dignified and beautiful. When I visited the shrine at the end of January 2019, it was in full bloom. Many photographers also visit the shrine, making it one of the famous spots for viewing Toi cherry blossoms. It's hard to find if you're driving, but if you enter the alley next to the store with the mailbox, there is a small parking space in front of the temple. (Original) たった一本の土肥桜ですが、凛として美しいです。2019年の1月末に参拝したところ満開でした。カメラマンの方もたくさん参拝されており、土肥桜の名所の一つといえます。車だと見つけるのが大変ですが、郵便ポストのある商店の脇の小道を入るとお寺の前に若干の駐車スペースがあります。

(Translated by Google) I visited on January 22, 2023 for the cherry blossom stamp rally. It looked like an ordinary house's garden, so I was a little confused as to whether I could enter. It was very quiet and quaint, and I felt like time was passing slowly, which was soothing. Even at this time of year, the cherry blossoms were blooming beautifully! There were other people taking pictures with cameras besides us, and it was a great sight to see them sitting and relaxing! (Original) 2023年1月22日に桜スタンプラリーで訪れました。 普通の家のお庭とゆう感じで、入っていいのか少し戸惑いました。 とても静かで趣があって時間がゆっくり流れている感じがして癒されました。この時期なのに桜も綺麗に咲いていました！ 私たちの他にもカメラで写真を撮っている方がいて、座ってのんびりしている光景がとても良かったです！

Came for the ferry rides to the underground caves. Unfortunately no ships was available. Reason stated was bad weather for the day, though was sunny with very calm seas. Park around the area was quite pretty so all was not lost

An interesting cave to explore, but it feels a bit overrated. While the natural formations are nice, it might not be as impressive as expected. Still, worth a quick visit if you're in the area and enjoy cave exploring.

A rare case when the cave below is accessible by boat and the above is accessible by trail. A natural beauty..

This place is good. We get free car parking. Unfortunately, due to high tied we could not get on the ferry. Overall, love this place

Must visit spot when in Izu ♥️ Ticket cost ¥1200 for adult and ¥600 for children The ride took almost 20mins with explanation of each landscape in Japanese. The ride through the cave where the sunlight above head slides inside is the main attraction and the most spectacular spot. There is a walking course to the top of one of the caves, but unfortunately there was some work under progress and was closed. Bus stop is near by and there is also a convenient store.

Amazing Mother Nature beauty experience!!

Amazing gift from nature. You can take the cruise for 15-20mins inside the cave. The water is crystal clean. Very pretty sight here.

(Translated by Google) 🐕️OK. There is a dog run. Basically it is a natural park with just a little bit of grass and playground equipment. Because of that, only about half of the mountain path behind the playground equipment was maintained, and it was a treasure trove of ticks. I was surprised when I got home 😵 I immediately shampooed and gave it medicine. Be careful... There were more than 10 of them... From the big ones that you can only find in natural parks to the small ones that are normal size 😣😣😣 Of course they also attach to people, so I think it's better not to go in shorts or sandals that expose your bare feet 😱 (Original) 🐕️OK。ドッグランあり。 基本的に芝生と遊具がちょっとあるだけの自然公園です。 その為、遊具の奥にある山の小道は半分ほどしか手入れが届いておらず、マダニの宝庫となっていました。 帰ってビックリ😵即シャンプー＆薬投下。 お気を付けて。。。 10匹以上は付いてた、、、 自然公園ならではのビックサイズから、通常サイズの小さいのまで😣😣😣 人にも当然付ますので、素足が出る短パン、サンダルでは行かない方が良いと思います😱

There is a mix of grass, soil, and wood chips. There are ups and downs so dogs can enjoy it. There are also benches. There are toilets and water. There are no showers or trash cans. The dog run was reserved on weekdays with a large parking lot. If you are going to Izu Kogen or Shuzenji area, it is a good idea to stop by.

(Translated by Google) This is a large municipal park. In addition to the lawn area and walking path, there is a free dog run, but there is a single door at the entrance, so be careful when entering and exiting. I get the impression that there are many small ones in the morning, and a glimpse of larger ones in the afternoon. There are also regular members and they are very friendly. The walking path is lined with hydrangeas, autumn leaves, and cherry blossoms, so you can enjoy a walk that suits each season. (Original) 市営の広い公園です。芝生広場や散策路の他に無料ドッグランがありますが、入り口は1枚扉なので出入りには注意が必要です。午前中は小型が多く、午後は大型の子もチラホラ集まる印象です。レギュラーメンバーの方もいてとてもフレンドリーです。散策路は紫陽花や紅葉、桜もあるのでそれぞれの季節に合わせた散歩も楽しめます。

There is also a dog run, which is nice for a light walk on the mountain path. (Original) 天気が良い日に来れば紅葉の赤がもっと映えたかな。また、富士山も、はっきり見えます。ドッグランもあり、軽い山道散歩には良い感じです。

(Translated by Google) There are play equipment for children and a dog run, and many people from surrounding cities come here on weekends to play. You can see Mt.
