A Love Letter to the Ocean: The Gentle Charm Between Mountains and Sea in Izu

Izu's natural beauty allows you to completely unwind ✨

A two-day journey, from the ocean to the mountains, experiencing the romance of nature to the fullest.

Trip Highlights:

Hachijo Cape & Nanrō Cape - Feel the sea breeze, gaze at the endless blue
Walking towards the coast, the rocky terrain of Hachijo Cape intertwines with the azure sea, and the salty sea breeze greets you. At Nanrō Cape, standing at the edge of the cape, you can gaze out at the boundless Pacific Ocean, feeling as if you've reached the end of the world.

Shirahama Shrine - A red torii gate guarding wishes by the waves
Shirahama Shrine is unique, with its red torii gate standing by the sea, backed by endless waves. Though small, the shrine exudes a sense of solemnity and purity. Making a wish here feels as if it will be safeguarded by the power of the ocean.

Swimming in the Sea & Sunrise - Golden hues over the horizon
Waking up early to watch the sunrise, the sky gradually turns red, and sunlight spills over the horizon, painting the world in golden tones. Unable to resist, I took a swim in the sea; the cool water washed away all fatigue, making me truly feel "free in the sea, free at heart."

Heart-Shaped Ryugu Sea Cave - The ocean's secret garden
A naturally formed heart-shaped cave, where the sea and sunlight create romantic light and shadows, as if stepping into the ocean's secret garden.

Mount Omuro - A 360° view surrounded by volcanic greenery
Izu is not just about the ocean; it also bears the marks of volcanoes. Mount Omuro is a small, green, bowl-shaped mountain. Reaching the summit offers a panoramic 360-degree view, with Mount Fuji and the Izu coastline in sight. The volcanic crater below has now become a grassy path, making a walk around it uniquely enjoyable.

Kadowaki Coast - A symphony of waves and cliffs
The final stop is Kadowaki Coast, where volcanic lava has formed spectacular and unique coastal erosion landscapes. The waves crashing against the rocks create a deafening sound. Walking along the coastal trail, your mind feels completely refreshed.

✨ This journey, with its combination of sea and mountains, showcases the natural charm of Izu to the fullest. Watching the sunrise in the morning, swimming in the sea during the day, and hiking in the evening to enjoy the view—it's the perfect travel rhythm.
