Top 21 things to do and attractions in Nishiizu-cho

I recommend visiting before sunset. The way Mt. Fuji reflects the changing colors is truly mesmerizing, shifting every few minutes like a living painting. The warm, gentle sunset light also casts a golden glow on the rocks, making the scene even more breathtaking.

Beautiful park on the coast. On a clear day you can see Mt fuji from here. Parking is free.and there a small gift shop with restrooms.

Beautiful cliff tops and a short walk. It’s not far off the main road and 100% worth the detour.

A very beautiful place to visit if you’re in this area. It has a very unique horse shape and it’s not too hard to walk the steps going across it. There is a beautiful view from the top and I liked the beautiful blue water on the far end. The best part is, it won’t cost you anything to visit so take advantage if you’re around. Not too many people so maybe it’s not too well known.

Went several times with my friends from gotemba. Takes about 2hrs from the road. The natural view of ocean and mountains are so beautiful. Very peaceful and the natural beauty make you calm there. You can see the horse like structure natural rock mountain in a blue ocean. The sunset is very beautiful. And when the sky is clear, you can also able to see Mt Fuji as well. Very beautiful place to visit.

Beautiful place! We went in Sept and the sea was so nice.

Cool horse shaped rock. A few short walks you can do Friday down to the water and dive center. Cafe nearby. Free parking.

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.

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

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.

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!!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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!

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

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

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

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

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

Beautiful beach 😁

Super 👍👍👍

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

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

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

Love this place!

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

Very nice place

(Translated by Google) 3.8 ・Even though a typhoon was approaching, the visibility was better than I expected. ・There were a few large fish, including snapper fish and others, searching the sand with their antennae for food. The snapper fish swam nearby for a while without fleeing, allowing for careful observation. I enjoyed seeing butterflyfish and vibrant blue and yellow fish. Smaller fish were found around the rock face on the right side facing the ocean, while larger fish seemed to be circling the entire area. The most exciting thing was a school of about 30 squids, each about 15cm long. They were very wary and fled when I got too close. ・There were almost no corals or sea anemones. ・Parking is by reservation only. Check availability on the website, print a ticket form from the Ticket Pia machine at a 7-Eleven, and pay at the register. The road to the parking lot is quite narrow. There's an old man at the entrance to the parking lot, so hand over your ticket. The ticket is large, so I folded it up, but it wasn't a problem at all. - The beach is full of large stones, making it difficult to walk on. If you're using a tent, it's a good idea to bring a thick picnic blanket or chair. The nearby kayaking tour took you to the island across the shore, where swimming is not prohibited. It's unclear whether snorkeling is permitted. There are three free outdoor showers, which is very convenient. (Original) 3.8 ・台風が近くまで来ていたが透明度は思ったよりもあった。 ・タイ系や触覚で砂地を探りながら食べ物を探している大型の魚が数は多くないがいた。タイのような魚は、逃げることなくしばらく近くを泳いでくれたので、じっくり観察ができた。 チョウチョウウオやブルーや黄色い鮮やかな魚などいて楽しめた。小型魚は海へ向かって右側の岩盤あたりで大型魚は全体を回遊しているようだった。 一番うれしかったのは15cm程度のイカの30匹くらいの群れ。こちらは警戒心が高く、近づくと逃げられた。 ・サンゴ、イソギンチャク系はほぼいない。 ・駐車場は完全予約制。ホームページで空きを確認し、セブンイレブンのコピー機のチケットぴあからチケットを購入するための用紙を印刷しレジで精算する流れ。 現地駐車場いくまではかなり道が狭い。駐車場入り口におじさんがいるのでチケットを渡す。チケットは大きいので折りたたんで持っていったが全く問題なかった。 ・ビーチは大きな石だらけで歩きづらい。テントを使用するなら厚めのレジャーシートか椅子があったほうがいい。 近くにあるカヤックのツアーであれば、遊泳禁止外の対岸の島へ上陸していた。シュノーケリングもできるのかは不明。 ・無料のシャワーが屋外に3台あり、非常にありがたい。

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

(Translated by Google) A Relaxing and Beautiful Beach on Weekdays🏖️ English bellows [A beautiful beach where you can relax and enjoy weekdays 🏖️] I went there with my family on July 31st. Since it was a weekday, there weren't many people, so I had a great time with my family. The beach is moderately shallow up to about 20 meters from the shore, and then suddenly becomes deep enough to barely reach the height of an adult's feet. Please be careful about the depth, especially if you are playing with children. If you are a small child or someone who is not used to water and cannot swim, we recommend wearing a life jacket or floatation device that will help you float. There are also rescues, but parents should always stay close to their small children. There is a man-made rocky area near where the stream flows. The footing may be slippery or bumpy, so please be careful not to get injured. I took my 2nd grade elementary school child there, and the sea water was very warm around 2pm, and the sun was setting in the evening, making it a magical and beautiful place. Parking fee is 1000 yen. Please specify your parking location. Also, you can use the shower for 3 minutes for 100 yen, so you can wash yourself thoroughly when you get out of the sea. Nishi-Izu is such a beautiful place, and it's a great place to go from Tokyo or Saitama in about 3 and a half hours. We recommend leaving a little early in the morning and arriving by around 10am.

Great walk

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

(Translated by Google) Uniquely in Western Izu, the beach faces due west, and the westerly wind scoops up the seawater, and in synchronization with the swells that send it into Suruga Bay, the waves are quite severe. Despite the blue sky, the severe wind that cuts your cheeks and makes it hard to stand in the middle of winter, and the waves that crash and crash with a roaring sound, sending up spray...The terrifying, rough waves are worth seeing in another sense. (Original) 西伊豆だけに真西に面した海水浴場で西風がまともに海水をすくい、駿河湾に送り込むうねりとシンクロして中々厳しい波が押し寄せるのだ。青空にも関わらず、頬を切り真冬のまともに受けたら立って居られない厳しい風と共に、轟音を伴い押し寄せ砕けて飛沫をあげる…その恐ろしい荒波は別の意味で一見の価値がある。

(Translated by Google) Even though it was the season, there weren't many people and it was a hidden gem. There was no inconvenience at all. It was a wonderful beach. (Original) シーズンなのに、そんなに人も多くなく、穴場でした。不便は全くありません。素敵な海です。

(Translated by Google) The waves were better than I expected, so it was great for surfing. It's not a place for families to enjoy swimming, though. There were also toilets and showers, which was nice. (Original) 思った以上にいい波もあってサーフィンするのには良かった。 ただ家族で海水浴を楽しむ所ではないけど。 トイレとシャワーもあって良かった。

(Translated by Google) The scenery was beautiful and the sea water was clean! Be careful though, the waves are rough! (Original) 景色が綺麗だし海も綺麗な水でよかった！ 波は荒いから要注意！

A truly beautiful and well-organized place for a family trip. The availability of halal food and a dedicated prayer area for Muslims 🤲 exceeded all expectations — it was beyond imagination.

One of the best and most underrated place of Japan.Full of natural beauty and beautiful oceanic view. There is natural mountain rock whose shape is just like Elephant and tortoise. The parking is huge and free of cost. However its far from main town area like Shizuoka. Access is very inconvenient coz only few local buses runs there. You have to pay a transportation charges in two stops so make sure to bring a changes when you go there. We didn't knew about that but some how we able to manage to pay the road tax. You can also observe the canyons via ships. You have to pay some amount of yen and then you can see the rocks,oceans via ship. The ship takes about 20-30min to complete its trip and worth to its price as well. Really a beautiful place to visit. Highly recommended.

This place is cool but at night it’s amazing and beautiful! It’s full of lights and for some reason, no people. It was just me there last night and I was in love with the beauty

A good trekking and sunset spot close to the sea.

Absolutely beautiful area. We loved our visit here.

This place is accessible by bus from Izukyu Shimoda station. Bus is on limited time only. Better to get bus pass from Shimoda station itself. You can go by your own vehicle also. Boat ride was closed when we wet there. Its just a small park around sea shore. You can get food here. Parking is available. Convenience store also available. Place needs maximum 1 hour to see all places.

Climbing up to the see the view is a must.

(Translated by Google) This photo is near the mouth of the Ukusu River, which flows right next to the beach, and it has a very mysterious color. I think the sulfur concentration is high because there is a mine upstream. However, the water quality at the beach is rated AA, so there shouldn't be any problems. (Original) 海水浴場のすぐ隣を流れる宇久須川河口付近の写真ですが、すごく神秘的な色をしてます。上流に鉱山がある関係か硫黄濃度が高いのだと思います。ですが、海水浴場の水質はAAでクリアしているので問題はないはずです。

(Translated by Google) There are not many people even in the summer, so it feels like a private beach. At the entrance to the beach, there is a free parking lot (there is only room for 10 cars) and showers. The beach is not wide and has many stones. Water clarity is good. (Original) 夏でも人が少ないのでプライベートビーチの様な感じです。砂浜入り口には無料駐車場（台数は10台停めれないくらい）、シャワーもある。砂浜は広くはなく石が多いビーチです。水の透明度はいいです。

(Translated by Google) A small beach in the mountains. It is safe for children as there is a wave shield. Adjacent to campsite (Original) 山間にある小さな海水浴場。波除があるので子供には安心。キャンプ場隣接

(Translated by Google) Summer 2024: The beach is closed as a precaution against the Nankai Trough earthquake. Originally, there were no lifeguards even during the swimming period. (Original) 2024夏　南海トラフ地震の警戒で、海水浴場としては閉鎖中です。 元々、海水浴期間でもライフセーバーはいません。

(Translated by Google) It's not the season for swimming I pulled out a chair and looked at the sea The wind was calm and it was comfortable. (Original) 海水浴の季節ではないので イスを出して海を眺めてた 風も穏やかで過ごしやすかった

(Translated by Google) The inside of the port is sandy and deep, and there are several levees extending into the port. There is a rich variety of fish throughout the year. (Original) 港内が砂地で、フトコロが深く、港には数本の堤防が伸びている。 １年を通じて魚種豊富。

(Translated by Google) I went there thinking the water quality would be beautiful, but maybe it was after the typhoon or because the weather was bad, the water quality was poor and no one was swimming~😥 (Original) 水質が綺麗と思い行ったけど、台風の後のせいか、天気が悪いせいなのか、水質も悪いし誰も泳いでいませんでした~😥

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Spacious hotel with good quality spring water!

The place is literally falling apart.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

(Translated by Google) Yukio Mishima's literary monument is located on the south side of the parking lot. An excerpt from the novel ``The Game of Beasts,'' written by Yukio Mishima while staying at an inn in Asari, is engraved here.

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

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

(Translated by Google) This cove is a mecca for diving, where you can meet lots of fish, and the regulator air bubbles up from the water. Campgrounds and outdoor concerts are also held in the area, and it was fun to anchor here and take a bath from time to time. (Original) この入り江はダイビングのメッカでたくさんのお魚さんと出会える為か、水中からブクブクとレギュレータエアが泡立ってくるのだ。一帯はキャンプ場や野外コンサートなども開催され、時々ここにアンカリングして水浴びをするのが楽しみだった。

(Translated by Google) The beach is about 3 minutes away from the parking lot. There is a toilet on the way and a water source in front of the beach, which is appreciated. However, although the toilet and water source are close, the rocky slope of the beach is a little difficult to walk with luggage because of the loose stones. The beach is small and the waves are gentle, and although there were not many fish, there were blue fish and cute fish, and the water was clear, so it was fun to snorkel leisurely. It gets deep quickly, so be careful with children. (Original) 駐車場から3分ほど降りたらビーチ。その途中にトイレ、ビーチ前に水場があってありがたい。ただ、トイレも水場も近いけどビーチの石ゴロゴロ坂ゾーンが石ぐらぐらしたりで荷物持って歩くのがキツイ。ビーチはこじんまりして穏やかな波、魚少なめだったけど青い魚や可愛いお魚が居て透明度も高くてのんびりシュノーケル は楽しかった。すぐ深いのでお子さまは注意です。

(Translated by Google) Photographed Koganezaki Beach! Koganezaki looks beautiful. Many people use the beach for camping. I saw many couples and families enjoying swimming. The sea was fresh, clean, and vibrant. (Original) 黄金崎海水浴場を撮影！黄金崎が綺麗に写りますね キャンプで利用されている方が多いです 海水浴を楽しんでいる夫婦や子持ち家族の方が多く見かけました。 海は鮮度よく、綺麗で鮮やかでした

(Translated by Google) August 17, 2024 Although it was right after a typhoon, the visibility was good. However, compared to Hirizo, the number of fish is not so good. However, I enjoyed it. There were also clownfish and mitsuboshi. (Original) 2024年8月17日 台風の直後でしたが透明度は良かった。 ただ、ヒリゾに比べると魚影がいまいち、、、 ですが、楽しめました。 クマノミもミツボシも居ましたよ～

(Translated by Google) Visited in July 2023. I moved from Ukishima Coast. There is a large free parking lot above the Koganezaki campsite near the coast, and you can reach the coast in less than 5 minutes. There is a drinking fountain and shaded bench by the entrance toilet. There are no showers or shops, so be sure to buy food and drinks in advance. The coast is a stone beach similar to Ukishima Beach, and there is no sandy beach. Be careful of small children by holding their hands to prevent them from falling. The sea was so beautiful! ✨ I went snorkeling, and there were spots where there were hundreds to thousands of beautiful fish, depending on the location, so it was a great experience. (Original) 2023年7月に来訪。浮島海岸から移動してきました。海岸そばの黄金崎キャンプ場の上に無料の広い駐車場があり、5分も下れば海岸に着きます。 入り口のトイレのそばに水飲み場と日陰のベンチがあります。シャワー、売店はないので、飲食物は事前に買ってきましょう。 海岸は浮島海岸と同様にごろた石の浜で、砂浜はありません。小さいお子さんは転ばないよう手を引いて注意しましょう。 海は最高にキレイでした！✨ シュノーケリングしに行ったのですが、きれいな魚が場所により、数百〜数千匹かたまっているスポットもあり、とてもいい体験ができました。

Best kept secret in Nishiizu!

(Translated by Google) I couldn't reach The bridge in front of the campsite was aging and stopped vehicles from passing through. I will stop in front of the bridge I walked east (upstream) next to the fish farm on the opposite bank of the campsite. Beyond that, there are some monsters in the wilderness of Japanese pampas grass, but I couldn't proceed. (T_T) I searched with a drone, but it's probably a different waterfall (T_T) Not a tourist destination at all I can't find the sign It doesn't seem to be a place for amateurs like me to visit I think that those who go should check it carefully. m (_ _) m (Original) たどり着けませんでした キャンプ場手前の橋は老朽化で車両通過止めでした 橋手前に停めさせていただき キャンプ場の対岸 魚の養殖場の横を東(上流)に歩いて行きました その先は枯れススキの原野で けもの道的なものはあるんですが進めませんでした (T_T) ドローンで検索しましたが 多分違う滝です (T_T) 全く観光地化されてません 看板も見当たりません 私のような素人が訪れるところではないようです 行かれる方はよくよくお調べになられた方がいいかと存じます m(_ _)m

(Translated by Google) As you head towards "Nature Village Otaki" from Prefectural Route 59, the road will split into two. Take the unpaved road on the right, cross the bridge, and it will turn into a concrete paved road. If you continue further, you will be near the waterfall. I was able to go all the way. There was originally a parking space for 2-3 cars, but there was a fallen tree and there was only space for one car to turn around. I had no choice but to turn the car around, reverse it up to the top of the forest road, and park the car. If multiple cars are parked, the car above you won't be able to get out until the car below you leaves, so it's best to arrive with plenty of time to spare. Also, the forest road is narrow and there are many falling rocks, so please be careful when driving. If you are not confident in driving, I think it is a good idea to park your car near the fork in the road and walk. You can walk from the parking space to the waterfall for about 5 to 10 minutes, but please be careful where you step. It took a little effort to reach the waterfall, but it was worth seeing (*´∀`)♪ (Original) 県道59号線から｢ネイチャービレッジおおたき｣方面に進むと道が２手に別れるので、右側の未舗装の道を進んで橋を渡るとコンクリートで舗装された道に変わるので更に進むと滝の近く迄行けました。本来ならば2～3台駐車出来るスペースがありましたが倒木が置かれていて、車１台が方向転換出来るスペースがあるだけでした。仕方がないので車を方向転換させてバックで林道の上の方に車を進めて駐車しました。車が複数台停まった場合は下の車が出ないと上の車は出られなくなるので、時間に余裕を持って訪れた方が良さそうです。また、林道は狭くて落石も多数あるので運転には十分気を付けて下さい。運転に自信が無い場合は二股に別れた付近に車を停めて歩くのも良いかと思います。駐車スペースから滝までは5～10分位歩けば行けますが、足元には注意して下さい。少し苦労して辿り着いた滝は見応えがありました(*´∀`)♪

(Translated by Google) The work, which took five years to complete in the early Taisho period, is worth seeing. The temple's wife (?) gave a detailed explanation. (Original) 大正初期に五年の歳月を費やし完成した作品は一見の価値あり。お寺の奥様（？）が丁寧に説明してくださいました。

(Translated by Google) Tofukuji Temple 500 Arhats This is my second visit. I came here because I wanted to show the plaster watermark to a different companion than last time. I paid an admission fee of 200 yen and a stamp of 300 yen. You can listen to the explanation from the old lady and enjoy as much as time allows. It is said that the family commissioned Toshimitsu Tamura, a plasterer from Gunma, to complete the work, which took about five years, for the purpose of holding a memorial service for his parents. I felt the power of the dragon's work, the imagination of the three-dimensional plaster work, and the descriptive power of the watermark. If it's for a memorial service, we can't help it, but it's a bit of a shame that it's kept in a place where it can't be seen by many people, but we hope it continues to be kept with care.

(Translated by Google) This is a compact temple located in Nishiizu Town. I visited on the middle day of a three-day holiday in October 2024. When I went to the entrance, I was greeted by someone who appeared to be the wife of the temple, and she opened the main hall. The dragon and 500 arhats made of plaster on the ceiling of the main hall are a sight to behold. It is made three-dimensionally in places (reminiscent of a picture book), making it very impressive. The wife explained in great detail the origin of the product. People will be more interested in something if they have knowledge about it rather than looking at it vaguely. When I asked if it was possible to take photos, I was told that it was OK to take a few photos as long as I didn't use a flash on my smartphone. In addition to deterioration over time, due to the characteristics of the building, it is easily damaged, so it seems that efforts are being made to preserve it. There are some spots that look amazing in photos but aren't as good when you go there, but this one was even more amazing than I had imagined. Admission fee is 200 yen. The parking lot is free, so even large vehicles can park there without any hassle. If I had a chance, I would definitely like to visit again. (Original) 西伊豆町にあるコンパクトサイズのお寺です。 2024年10月、3連休の中日に訪れました。 玄関へ行くとお寺の奥さまらしき方に声を掛けて頂き、本堂を開けてくれました。 本堂の天井に広がる漆喰で作られた龍や五百羅漢は圧巻です。ところどころ立体的（仕掛け絵本のイメージ）に作られており、迫力ある作りです。 作られた由来など、奥さまにとても丁寧に説明して頂きました。漠然と眺めるよりも知識があった方が関心が高まりますね。 写真撮影の可否を尋ねてみるとスマホでフラッシュを焚かなければ数枚程度はOKとのこと。 経年劣化に加え建物の特性上、傷みやすいので保存には苦心されているようです。 写真ではスゴかったのに行ってみたらイマイチ…なスポットもありますが、コチラは想像していたよりずっと素晴らしかったです。 拝観料は200円。駐車場は無料で、大型車でも苦にならず停めることができるかと思います。 機会があれば是非またお参りさせて頂きたいと思いました。
