🌊【Recommended Izu Coastlines】
🌟 Izu has numerous coastlines, big and small. Here are some of the most popular and representative ones.

✅ East Izu: Jogasaki Coast
A must-visit spot with the iconic Kadowaki Suspension Bridge and volcanic cliffs—perfect for photography.

One of the few white sand beaches in the Kanto region, offering a variety of water activities for all ages.

One of Izu’s most famous coastlines, where you can capture views of Mt. Fuji. It’s also a renowned snorkeling spot with crystal-clear waters and fewer crowds due to limited transportation.

❤️【Tips】
✅ Always check the weather in advance—overcast skies can make the ocean look dull in photos.
