izu_20171222161556

About 100km southwest of Tōkyō, the Izu-hantō is a popular weekend getaway from the capital.

The more developed eastern coast has:

  • the town of Atami, with a shinkansen station, a small beach and onsen hotels.
  • the attractive hot springs town of Ito.
  • the southern city of Shimoda, known for its onsen, beaches & surfing.

The southern and western coasts are less developed and better known for their rugged coastlines, especially at the southern point of Cape Irozaki and Dogashima on the west coast.
