2025 Minamiizu Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in June)

Ishimuro Shrine is about a 45-minute bus ride away from Shimoda Station. The shrine is located on the cliffs of Irozaki, and is quite astonishing. If you look closely, you can see that a single mast supports the main shrine building. The view from the tip of Irozaki is simply amazing. On a clear day, you can see the Izu Seven Islands. ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ ❥❥ Ishimuro Shrine 🚌🚏Shimoda Station →🚏Irozaki Ocean Park →🚶‍♀️About 7 minutes ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ #Ishimuro Shrine #Shrine Tour #Shrines and Temples #Shizuoka Trip #Shizuoka Tourism

Minami no Sakura and Rapeseed Blossom Festival Roadside Station Shimogamo Onsen Yunohana 157-1 Shimogamo, Minamiizu-cho, Kamo-gun, Shizuoka Prefecture 415-0303 I went to see the Kawazu cherry blossoms in Minamiizu. I left at midnight and arrived at the roadside station at about 5:30 in the morning. By that time, the parking lot at the roadside station was almost full. The morning mist and fog enveloped the full-bloomed Kawazu cherry blossoms and rape blossoms, creating a wonderful atmosphere. All the deep pink Kawazu cherry blossoms were in full bloom, and rape blossoms were blooming under the cherry blossoms, making me happy that spring had finally come after winter. #ShizuokaTourism #Minamiizu #Izu #KawazuCherryBlossoms

Located near the Aono River and the Minami Sakura and Nanohana Festival venue, the farm produce shop "Yunohana" sells fresh produce and local specialties from Minamiizu Town and the surrounding areas. There are so many varieties of the famous mandarin oranges that you'll have a hard time deciding which one to buy. The famous Herahera Mochi is popular, so it's a good idea to buy it early. #ShizuokaTourism #trip2023

I went to the Minami Sakura and Nanohana Festival, which is held in Minamiizu Town every year from February to late March. 🌸 About 800 Kawazu cherry blossoms and nanohana flowers bloom on the bank, and the contrast between pink and yellow is very beautiful. ♬ The main Kawazu Sakura Festival is crowded, so if you want to enjoy it at a leisurely pace, this is recommended. #ShizuokaTourism #trip2023

The southernmost point of the Izu Peninsula, "Irozaki". The highlight is the cliffs with the violent waves crashing against them, but since it's hard to see from the land, we took a pleasure boat. Normally, we would take Course A, the "Oku Irozaki (Hirizo Coast) Course", but the weather wasn't very good that day, so we took Course B, the "Minokakeya Course". I'm sure Course A is the main course, but even with Course B we were able to experience the dynamic sea 🌟 And there were no other customers, so we had the boat to ourselves ❣️They were very considerate and set sail even though there was only one other group ☺️ 📍55 Irozaki, Minamiizu-cho, Shizuoka Prefecture #breathtakingview #Izutrip #cruising #trip2022

The food, rooms, and hot springs at Kiichiyu are all of high quality. The beautiful sea of ​​Yumigahama is right in front of the hotel, making it a highly recommended place for families to visit. In the evening, you can enjoy a course meal of seafood in a completely private room. It was a place I would like to visit again 😌 #Izu#Breathtaking view#Kiichiyu#Yumigahama

I went to "Hirizo Beach" in Izu, Shizuoka! It can only be reached by boat, so it's a place where nature has been preserved as it is🛥 You can enjoy diving and snorkeling in the crystal clear water🏖 Please come and visit us sometime~ #Seasideview #Izu #Supporttourism #Amazingview

#0yentrip Due to weather conditions, we couldn't go to Hirizo Beach, so we played at Togai Beach☺️💗 We bought snorkeling gear at a nearby store and went diving and relaxed😌 The tetrapods just before heading towards Hirizo Beach gave us a nice youthful look✨📍 Spot introduction━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━Location: Togai BeachAccess: 1590 Iruma, Minamiizu-cho, Kamo-gun, Shizuoka 415-0312Characteristics: Beach

Located in Minamiizu Town, Shizuoka Prefecture, Yumigahama Beach is a stunning 1.2-kilometer stretch of white sand, gracefully curving like a bow as its name suggests. Known for its crystal-clear waters and gentle waves, this serene spot is perfect not only for swimming but also for peaceful morning and evening strolls. The sunrise and sunset here are particularly spectacular! The sky and sea blend into a gradient of colors, creating a picturesque view that looks like a painting. The area also boasts numerous hot spring inns and cafes, making it an ideal place for a leisurely stay. It takes about 3.5 hours from Tokyo by car or a combination of train and bus.

Shizuoka Prefecture 2024.02 The cherry blossom season is coming soon this year🌸 Sharing recommended spots for early-blooming Kawazu cherry blossoms🫧 A Kawazu cherry blossom spot in Minamiizu, Shizuoka. The best time to see Kawazu cherry blossoms is usually the end of February, but due to the warm winter, they are in full bloom in Izu, 1-2 weeks earlier, in mid-month😮! There are many wonderful Kawazu cherry blossom spots in Tokyo, but my favorite is the vast cherry blossom line in Minamiizu🩷 Also, there are fewer people than in Kawazu Town, also in Shizuoka, so you can enjoy it at your own pace◎ 📍Spot Minami no Sakura and Nanohana Festival 🚃Access Take the Tokai Bus from Izukyu-Shimoda Station to Kujobashi Station 🅿︎Parking lot Free parking available 📷Photo taken on 2024.2.17 #0 yen trip January 2025 #Kawazu cherry blossoms

🚤Irozaki, known as the last secret place in Minami-Izu, is one of the most popular scenic spots in Minami-Izu, with its magnificent rocky coast, white lighthouse, and mountain and sea shrine. 🚤It is recommended to sit on the left side of the bus to Irozaki and on the right side on the way back, so you can see the long coastline. 🚤After getting off the bus, you will arrive directly at the visitor center, where souvenirs and light meals are sold. Go through here and continue along the road to the sea, and you will reach the lighthouse. The lighthouse is not high, and you can walk around it in a few steps. From here, you can see the vast sea near Irozaki. Compared to the sea at Cape Tsumekizaki, the sea at Irozaki is a deeper blue. The sea water constantly hits the rocky cliffs of the coast, giving you a sense of the original power of the sea. 🚤Continue along the approach to the shrine, and you will reach Kumano Shrine, which stands on a rock at the end of Irozaki and is a place to pray for marriage. Next to the shrine, you can see the Izu Seven Islands. 🚤Return to the visitor center, take a short break, wait for the return bus, and end your trip to Irozaki. 🚃Transportation in Izu is not very convenient, but it is not complicated once you understand it, as long as you check the timetable in advance. The main transportation in Izu is the Izu Kyuko Line, which runs from north to south. The southernmost terminal is Izukyu-Shimoda Station, which is a transfer station, and you need to take a bus from here to various locations along the coast, and there are no bus routes between the coastal stations, so you have to return to Izukyu-Shimoda Station to transfer. 🚌To Irozaki: One way ¥1,190 Shimoda Station (Timetable: 8:00, 9:00, 10:00, 10:40, 11:30, 12:10, 12:35, 13:20, 14:25, 15:10, 16:00, 16:40…) ↓ Tokai Bus: 45 stops, 45 min Irozaki Ocean Park Station (Return: 10:15, 11:23, 12:25, 13:00, 14:10, 15:15, 16:00)

It is a cape located in Minamiizu Town, Kamo County, the southernmost tip of the Izu Peninsula in Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan, and is also a tourist attraction.

It is the southernmost lighthouse on the Izu Peninsula and is also a very important lighthouse for controlling the Izu Waterway. #2024TravelReview

#TravelWithMe This is the Izu Shimoda Cherry Blossom Festival, held every year in late February. As the name suggests, the cherry blossoms bloom early. This is because it coincides with the early-blooming Kawazu cherry blossoms. Not only the cherry blossoms, but the rape blossoms are also beautiful, and the whole area looks like a yellow carpet, which is a wonderful sight.

The scenic spots we will introduce this time are! 📍 Minami Izu in Shizuoka Prefecture, where the "Minami Sakura and Rapeseed Flower Festival" is held 🚗🌊 This place is said to be "the place where you can feel spring the earliest in Honshu", and 800 Kawazu cherry trees bloom along the 2km stretch of the Aono River, and at the same time, rape blossoms bloom all over the bank.

Introducing Hirizo Beach in Minamiizu ✨ There are lots of fish, making it a great snorkeling spot 🤿 It's in the direction of Minamiizu, so it's about 3 hours from Chigasaki 🚗 There is limited parking, so it is often full on weekends! On this day, we left in the middle of the night the day before and arrived just after 3am! Hirizo Beach is about a 10-minute ride away on a small ferry ☺️It was very crowded because it was the weekend! The ferry is convenient because there are many regular departures both to and from work ⛴ It is recommended to go on a weekday when there are fewer people ☝🏼✨ It is very beautiful and I think it is great for those who like snorkeling! Please go and check it out 🌈 #summertrip #tourismsupport #gw2022jp #summerweekendtrip #minamiizu

Kiichiyu Ryokan is located in Shimoda, a famous hot spring and tourist resort in Izu, Japan. Jiyiyu Hot Spring has different types of hot springs with different functions, as well as open-air hot springs. The dinner that day was Kaiseki cuisine with my favorite seafood, which was really rich and delicious. Opposite the hotel is the endless sea, the scenery is really beautiful #Overseas Travel #Japan #Hot Spring Hotel 

Lower Hemao, located in the southwest of Shimoda Station, seems to have no fame relative to Hejin Station. Due to the inconvenient traffic, it can be said that it is sparsely populated, but the cherry trees here are older and denser than Hejin. The cherry guardian of the Kyoto era, Sato Fukui, who is the guardian of the Kyoto era, said: "There are too many people watching flowers in places like Ueno Park in Tokyo! So many people are shouting around the cherry blossoms, how confusing the cherry blossoms will be! I think If the cherry blossoms can also talk, they will say: Trouble and quiet! What are you doing here? Can you put it honestly?" If this is the case, I think, under the Hemao, this person is sparsely populated, this drizzle This quiet and peaceful, perhaps the most "ideal" in line with cherry blossoms?
