Experience the wild edge of Japan. From the volcanic suspension bridges to the crystal sands of Shimoda.
A masterpiece formed by Mount Omuro's ancient eruption.
Walk 23 meters above the crashing Pacific on this famous suspension bridge. The jagged basalt cliffs beneath you were formed 4,000 years ago.
An extinct volcano shaped like an inverted rice bowl. Take the chairlift to the rim for a 360° view of Mt. Fuji and the Izu Islands.
Shimoda offers the clearest water in mainland Japan. White sand beaches like Shirahama feel more like Okinawa than Shizuoka.
Izu is the birthplace of wasabi cultivation. Unlike the paste in tubes, real wasabi is grated on sharkskin and grown in the pure, spring-fed streams of Amagi.
Visit the Daio Wasabi Farm or the hidden fields of Joren Falls. Taste Wasabi Ice Cream a local specialty that is surprisingly sweet with a cold, sharp finish.

The oldest onsen town on the peninsula, tucked in a bamboo forest with a river running through its heart.
Classic seaside resort vibes with spectacular fireworks displays over the water.
