Izu Peninsula

A goldmine of beaches and hot springs with an enticing history to go along with it
Jutting out to the south of Fuji Hakone National Park sits the Izu Peninsula in Shizuoka Prefecture. It’s a popular getaway for locals and gaining attention from international travelers looking for a beachy escape within reasonable traveling distance from Tokyo. Izu Peninsula is a diverse landscape, home to plenty of resorts to the north, old-world ryokans, mountains down the middle, pristine beaches to the south, and wild coastlines to the west.

The region is teeming with nature—soaring mountains, gushing rivers, pounding waterfalls, windblown coastlines, white-sand beaches, and glorious hot springs. Fascinating local history and folklore add a layer of cultural exploration for visitors in addition to taking in the jaw-dropping scenery.

Izu's mountains and highlands are big draws for trekkers and other nature lovers, and you can dine on wild boar and mountain vegetables. This area has also played a considerable role in international relations, as the first official U.S. consulate general negotiated a trade treaty here, effectively ending Japan's extended period of isolation from the outside world.
