The Jogasaki Coast in the south east side of the Izu Peninsula was certainly a much needed peaceful respite from hectic Tokyo. The whole area is peaceful as it is stunning with breath taking views of the coast and its pristine water. We visited in the late morning and we almost have exclusive use of this place as only a handful of people were there. Even HD pictures don't do justice for the beautiful scenery and you've to be there to experience it. Despite the mid Summer temperature, the trail from the start, through to the interesting long wooden bridge to the bottom of the rocky coast was relatively easy with plenty of cool fresh air and gentle wind and you never felt uncomfortable or sweaty but good walking shoes are recommended.

We had never seen any landscape as beautiful as the Jogasaki coast! It is a relatively easy hike (although good shoes are recommended if you want to climb down closer to the water), and there was hardly anyone on the trail, even on a busy summer afternoon. The trail itself is shaded and gorgeous, with spectacular views of the rocky coastline every few meters. The lighthouse and suspension bridge are neat and offer some different views. The whole thing is free and easy to get to, and we recommend taking a bus and asking a station attendant which stops you should get off and return on (as we had trouble reading the schedule). Definitely worth the trip!!

We spent a fun afternoon at the cliffs. I wanna make sure though that this is NOT A BEACH. There are cliffs all around the water and the current is so strong that there is no way you can go into that water! We had fun climbing on top of the cliffs and get away from
Some of the tourist to take some
Great pictures. Defs worth a visit and a fun way to spend half a day.
