Rules
Within 30 km, closest first.
Kawazu Town, Izu Peninsula — outside Izu City. A walking route linking seven waterfalls, including Shokeidaru. Routes differ in length and difficulty; check which sections are currently accessible before attempting the full circuit.
A hillside park in southern Izu overlooking Shimoda Bay, with coastal viewpoints and paths known for hydrangeas in June. Allow for slopes and steps.
Izu City / Kawazu boundary, Amagi Pass. A historic stone road tunnel associated with the old Amagi route and The Izu Dancer. Mountain approaches require checking road and trail conditions before travel.
A seaside ryokan at Hokkawa Onsen on Izu’s east coast, known for expansive Pacific views, hot-spring bathing and a quiet overnight stay above the water. It works as an accommodation base rather than a brief sightseeing stop.
Izu City (伊豆市), Amagi. A waterfall dropping from a basalt cliff into a wooded gorge. The approach includes steps; nearby wasabi cultivation reflects the clear mountain water.
A 580-metre extinct volcano above Ito and Izu Kogen. A chairlift reaches the rim, where an easy loop circles the bowl-shaped crater with views toward Mount Fuji, Izu Oshima and the Pacific. Walking up the protected grass slope is not permitted.
An animal and cactus park in Ito on the Izu Peninsula. Check the operator for animal activities and visitor rules.
Lava cliffs and coastal walking paths on eastern Izu, with the Kadowaki suspension bridge as a recognizable landmark. Routes include rough terrain and exposed sections; choose a walk suited to your group.
