Jogasaki Coastline

A day along the jagged coast of the Izu Peninsula

Beautiful coastline

It seems to have been opened with a sword

The water is so clear!

Many pine trees on top of the cliffs

Basalt columns, and Oshima in the distance

Another view of the trees and the cliffs

There's a 9 km long hiking trail along this beautiful jagged coast with many view points on the top of cliffs formed by lava and eroded by the sea. My two favorite spots are the suspension bridge (48m long and 23m high) and the lighthouse from the top of which you have an impressive view of the entire coastline. The Jogasaki coast can be easily reached by taking the Izu Kyuko Line from Ito. Get off the train at Izukogen station and take a bus towards the sea (about 10 minutes).
