Izu Peninsula
No. 2 of Best Things to Do in Tokai region

Izu Peninsula

7.7
5.0/5
4 reviews

Izu Peninsula is a peninsula formed by volcanic activity. Two of the world's rare volcanic arcs converge here, creating a diverse landscape interwoven with hot springs, volcanic rock coasts, and mountain valleys. The peninsula is surrounded by the sea on three sides, offering a rich variety of scenery, from rugged coastlines to the dense forests and deep valleys of the Amagi Mountains. Hot springs are Izu's signature attraction. Shuzenji Onsen is said to have been established over 1,000 years ago and is a historic hot spring town on the peninsula. The hot spring street is built along the Katsura River, featuring the serene and deep Bamboo Forest Path, with Tokko-no-yu resting quietly in between. Atami and Ito on the east coast offer a different vacation atmosphere, where hotels stand by the sea, allowing you to enjoy ocean views while soaking in the hot springs. Traces of volcanic activity can be found all over the peninsula. Jogasaki Coast is a volcanic rock coast formed after lava from the eruption of Mt. Omuro approx. 4,000 years ago flowed into the sea, cooled, and was eroded by waves over many years. It spans approx. 9 km, and the Kadowaki Suspension Bridge hangs over the cliffs. Mt. Omuro itself is a perfectly round volcanic cone, and you can see a panoramic view of Izu from the summit. Dogashima on the west coast is famous for its sea caves; when you take a boat into Tensodo Cave, light pours down from the gap in the ceiling onto the water, creating a blue glow. Seafood is also a major feature of Izu. Being surrounded by the sea on three sides makes the local seafood exceptionally fresh. Splendid alfonsino is a representative local fish species, commonly found in hot spring hotels and coastal restaurants.

Shimoda Marine Aquarium is a unique aquarium located in a beautiful inlet in Shimoda City, Shizuoka Prefecture, making full use of the natural sea. Unlike typical aquariums, it features a "bay-type" exhibit that utilizes the actual ocean as is, allowing visitors to observe marine life living vibrantly in an environment close to its natural habitat up close. Inside the aquarium, you can encounter popular animals such as dolphins, sea lions, and penguins, with the dolphin performance being a particular highlight. The dynamic jumps and synchronized routines with trainers, performed on a spacious ocean stage, are breathtaking and captivate many visitors. There are also plenty of interactive programs where you can get up close and personal with the dolphins, creating unforgettable memories. Furthermore, the aquarium features a tank area displaying a variety of marine life, including fish and jellyfish, allowing visitors to leisurely enjoy viewing them in a fantastical setting. In the touch pool, visitors can actually touch starfish, sea cucumbers, and other marine creatures, making it a rich collection of interactive exhibits that children and adults alike can enjoy and learn from. One of its biggest attractions is its location surrounded by nature, allowing visitors to leisurely stroll through the grounds while enjoying the sea breeze. The facility also has a restaurant and a gift shop where you can enjoy Izu's unique cuisine and souvenirs. Shimoda Marine Aquarium, where you can experience the allure of the sea while connecting with nature, is a recommended spot not only for family trips but also for couples and friends. Why not escape from everyday life and spend some time relaxing in the world of the sea?

I really like the scenery, quietness and hot springs of the Izu Peninsula, and of course the restaurants with pure Japanese menus. Although it is a bit embarrassing, it is super exciting; I look forward to visiting in three weeks.

To Yidou, you must take the Yidou Scenic Trolley Bus to get off the field line. Fortunately, you can also take the Black Boat Theme number. This car is different from other ordinary trolley buses because it can ride facing the sea and enjoy the sea view of Yidou from a huge windshield on a soft seat.

The cactus zoo at the foot of Mount Omuro is incredibly soothing. Over a thousand different cacti of varying shapes and sizes grow in the greenhouse, creating a spectacular sight. Most of the animals roam freely, and the most endearing are the Kapibala, who relax in the hot springs with a gentle and docile demeanor. You can even hand-feed the red pandas and alpacas. This unique blend of flora and fauna is gentle and healing, making it an unforgettable and tender memory of your trip to Izu.

It’s really nice to come to Mount Omuro when the weather is nice. It takes just a few minutes to reach the top of the mountain by cable car, and you can see endless scenery as far as the eye can see. If you have time, you can also go to the shrine or go to the archery range at the bottom of the valley. There are souvenir shops at the bottom of the mountain and Shizuoka Prefecture’s famous Wasabi ice cream.

This is a truly delightful aquarium. You can interact with dolphins up close, feed sea turtles, sea lions, and seals, watch dolphins fly overhead, and even swim and snorkel with them. It's a perfect destination for family trips. Although the aquarium is small and the facilities are basic, the interactivity and fun are top-notch, making it worth spending at least half a day there. For transportation, you can take a taxi directly from Izukyu Shimoda Station for 1100 yen one way. If you miss the bus on the return trip, you can ask the aquarium staff to help you call a taxi; you won't be able to get a ride through ride-hailing apps.

The hotel we stayed in was right on the Shirahama coast. The second and third photos were taken when we climbed to the roof of the hotel. The coast view was very beautiful. The sea water was very clear. The sand on the beach was not only fine and soft, but the entire coast was very clean.

I thought it was a wonderful facility. It's well-maintained and clean. I think it's a paradise for reptile lovers. I was surprised to see the famous director at the entrance. I couldn't see the turtle race because of the timing, but I'd like to see it next time. The ticket also includes admission to Kawazoo, the frog exhibit. There were many rare frogs there as well, and it was well worth seeing. It's about a 20-minute drive away. If you buy tickets in advance through trip.com, you can get them for 200 yen less than the regular price, and if you show the app, the staff will issue a paper ticket on the spot.

Not only can you see crocodiles, but you can also see Amazonian manatees and red pandas, which are found nowhere else. The desserts are all made with bananas harvested here and are delicious.
