As a Tokyo resident, I love to escape to Izu in summer. There is so much to see and do especially if you like sea related activities like scuba diving. At the southernmost point of Izu there a very special ryokan called ryugu which is pretty hidden, awesome experience.

You're welcome! Glad you enjoyed it!

I'd also recommed Dogashima in western Izu and mt. Omuro at Izu-kogen.

Don’t forget to visit the must see MOA museum in Atami. Beautiful as always!!

These videos always hit me right in the feels. Izu Peninsula has been on my list for a bit now, it may just make an appearance this year… Thanks as always JG.

次は夏に西伊豆へ行ってみて下さいな、沖縄級に海が綺麗なので

with the success of the Shogun tv show, Izu's bound to draw more foreign tourists:)

Perfectionist video. Looking forward for more videos

I love traveling by train.

guys, pls do more coverage on Tohoku region (Akita, Aomori, Iwate, Miyagi, and Yamagata)

❤❤❤❤❤

Hey, that's a nice video! But you should do another video of the west coast of Izu!! It's way more spectacular than the more developed east coast. However, that means renting a car, but it's so worth! :D

Hi, it was an informative guide to Izu. Just a question, is it a good time to visit Izu during the winter because most of the videos I seen refers Izu as the summer escape?

👍👍👍👍

How far in advance should one book the Izukyu Hotel or something alike?

Nice trip, but the video should mention prices. How much was the ryokan and electric bikes rental?

@japanguide

4 ай бұрын

Thank you! We try to avoid mentioning prices since they change from one year to another and also sometimes vary depending on the season. The hotel rooms go from around 6,000 yen without meals to 40,000 yen with 2 meals. The bicycle rental go from 1,000 yen for an hour, 3,000 yen for 4 hours and 5,000 yen for a full day. Hope this helps!

Do you have to reserve the bikes, hotel, shuttle in advance if you arrive in Tokyo 2nd week of May?? First time Japan travelers here.

After looking it up, is it possible that there is a mistake at 6:03? The Shimoda Treaty was between Japan and Russia, and the treaty that Perry signed, which first opened japan to foreign trade was signed in Kanagawa. Edit: I find conflicting information about the Treaty of Amity and Commerce, also known as Harris Treaty, which was either signed at Ryosen-ji in Shimoda or on his ship in the bay of Tokyo. Ryosen-ji also served as Perry's residence when he was visiting Shimoda after the Treaty of Kanagawa was signed.

Excellent video! However, how did you get to the Jogasaki Coast trail? It is a long distance from the nearest train station. Can you please explain. Thank you.

@japanguide

Thank you so much! To get to the Jogasaki Coast trail, we took a train from Izukyu Shimoda Station to Izu Kogen Station, where we took a bus bound for Kaiyo Koen (海洋公園) and got off at Izu Kaiyo Koen. Here is more information on the Jogasaki Coast and access: www.japan-guide.com/e/e6308.html Hope this helps!

Is the strep a situation a problem?

First time I know about Izu Peninsula is from Yuru Camp anime series

I'm curious. What would a traveler do with their luggage during this itinerary since they don't check into their hotel until 3 towns in?

@japanguide

3 ай бұрын

Travelers could use coin lockers at the stations, or - because this is just an overnight trip from Tokyo - leave their big bags in Tokyo and bring just a small bag. Those making this trip not as a side trip from Tokyo could consider shipping their large suitcase to a future base and just use a small bag for the Izu side trip. More about luggage in Japan: www.japan-guide.com/e/e2274.html

What if I can't ride a bike?

Good question! There are hourly buses from Kawazu Station that will take you directly to the upper or lower ends of the trail that leads past the waterfalls. If you need more information regarding access: www.japan-guide.com/e/e6313.html Hope this helps!

Having such advanc3d and maintained train system, the tickets system seems so convoluted. Why require a passport, youre already in the country, you showed it in the airport.

Locals cannot buy the pass which is sold at a discount. It's exclusive for foreigners only, that's why need to show passport
