Seafood bowl 📍 Ito A seafood bowl with lots of toppings ✨ I enjoyed it with the local orange beer! It was very delicious. Shaboten Park 📍 Izu You can interact with the animals up close, something you can't experience at a normal zoo 💕 It was relaxing ✨I want to go again! Shirahama Ohama Beach 📍 Shimoda The water was so clear that it felt like I was overseas ✨ It seems like the waves can be high on some days, so be careful! #summerweekendtrip

Izu Shirahama Beach is always crowded with surfers and beachgoers every year. This time, I stopped by Shirahama Beach after going to eat some seafood rice bowls! I put on my favorite KEEN sandals and walked along the beach. White beach and blue sea. It was so beautiful! I recommend you go there too! #Seasideview #Shizuoka #ShirahamaBeach #Amazingnature #Breathtakingview

🌊 Izu is one of Japan's most popular travel destinations, and what makes it truly unforgettable is its unique combination of mountain and ocean views. Today, we’re dedicating a special feature to Izu’s stunning seaside scenery. 🚆【Special Ocean View Trains】 1⃣ Kurofune (Black Ship) Train: A retro black design inspired by the historical event of the "Black Ships" arrival in Japan. 2⃣ Kinmedai (Golden Eye Snapper) Train: A vibrant red train, named after a local specialty fish in Izu. ✅ Simply tap your Suica card to board, or purchase a train ticket. ✅ Seat reservations are not required—all seats are non-reserved. ✅ Check the timetable and seat layout on the "Izu Kyuko" official website. ✅ Even if you don’t take the ocean view train, you can still enjoy the sea views—just with a different seating arrangement. 🌊【Recommended Izu Coastlines】 🌟 Izu has numerous coastlines, big and small. Here are some of the most popular and representative ones. ✅ East Izu: Jogasaki Coast A must-visit spot with the iconic Kadowaki Suspension Bridge and volcanic cliffs—perfect for photography. ✅ South Izu: Shirahama Beach One of the few white sand beaches in the Kanto region, offering a variety of water activities for all ages. ✅ West Izu: Koganezaki One of Izu’s most famous coastlines, where you can capture views of Mt. Fuji. It’s also a renowned snorkeling spot with crystal-clear waters and fewer crowds due to limited transportation. ❤️【Tips】 ✅ Always check the weather in advance—overcast skies can make the ocean look dull in photos. ✅ Bring sunscreen and water gear. ✅ When riding the ocean view train, consider the time of day for seat selection—sunlight angles and window reflections can affect photo quality. ✅ Pair fireworks festivals with beach activities—most Izu fireworks displays are free, so just check the schedule ahead. ✅ Public transport in Izu isn’t very convenient. To visit multiple spots, consider renting a car or hiring a private vehicle.

Every cities in Japan brings you to totally different kind of vibes and experiences. Took us 2 whole weeks, moved from city to another city, starting at dawn till midnight every single day with countless miles of walking, cycling, interchange of trains, and 1 domestic flight to cover up the whole trips, but still not enough to see Japan in whole. Hiked in Nachikatsuura to see the famous Seiganto Pagoda & Nachi falls, then Hashiigawa Rocks is a must, Cycling in miles to Shirahama beach & Sandanbeki Cave, being touristy in Arashiyaama Bamboo Forest & experiencing Nagano Train. Undeniably that natures always hold better scenery than the city, but Glico billboard & USJ is a must too! Short visit to Nara park just for its mochi? Worthy!! Detour to the famous Shibuya Crossing cos you gotta get at least 1 pic. Always travel like the locals cos that’s how memories stay on. #siblingstrip #travel #wakayama_prefec #kyoto #osaka #shibuya

#FuriTabi We went to Shimoda Beach, known as the Shirahama of Izu, in Izu City, Shizuoka Prefecture for 2 days and 1 night 🚗 We stayed at Step Inn Shirahama - a beachside condominium This can accommodate up to 4 people and is divided into 2 floors, with 2 beds on the 1st and 2nd floors for a total of 4👏🏻 This time we stayed with 3 people, but the price was about 6,800 yen per person, which was quite a bargain✨ If you stay with 4 people, you can stay even cheaper🙌🏻😆 Kitchen and cooking utensils It was also equipped with a hotpot, so we bought some groceries at a large supermarket near the station and had a simple hotpot in the room, even though it was summer🍲 Shimoda Beach was within a 4-hour drive from Shibuya☺️ As expected, unlike the sea in Shonan, it was very clear and the water was clean and ocean blue🩵 There were no jellyfish and the waves were a little high, but it was fun🌊 The sand was smooth and didn't hurt even when walking barefoot💗 It was the best summer vacation ever, being able to enjoy the beautiful sea for two days☀️🍉

#100 Ways to Travel The sky realm is in Izu Shirahama. Izu Shirahama Beach (also known as Chicken of the Sea) is not only for swimming but also for surfing. The whole family can spend an afternoon here. The outdoor torii can be reached behind Shirahama Shrine or directly from the beach. The most special thing about this residence is the sunset view, where you can also see reflections. You can swim, take photos, surf and do sand-building activities.

It took a long time to drive away from Oita city. The sun is very sunny today. It is a rare sunny day after several consecutive rainy days. The temperature also increased Last night I looked for this sea route in Oita on the map for a long time but could not find the specific location. The only information we have is that it is near a place called Kurohama. There is a beautiful coast here and two Couple Rocks. Until I came here the next day When I came to this coast and saw the blue water and the bright sky, it was another destination that made me feel that my trip was worthwhile. I was sitting on the beach taking photos for a long time. I passed by a local resident, an old lady, who looked very kind and gave me the courage to ask about the sea route. The grandma patiently explained it in detail. Later, based on the grandma’s explanation, I finally found this magical sea route. Location details: sea ​​route About 600 meters northeast of Konoura Shirahama Beach along Prefectural Road 635, Oita City, Oita Prefecture #Japanese and Korean Spring Good Places

A place full of mystery - Shirahama Shrine! This shrine is located in Japan and is famous for its beautiful architecture and unique atmosphere. In this sacred place, I personally experienced the mysterious rituals and sacred atmosphere, and explored a sacred realm connected to the gods. ⛩️🌊🙏 When I walked through the torii gate of Shirahama Shrine, I immediately felt a special atmosphere. The shrine has a unique architectural style and is full of traditional Japanese elements. The red color of the torii gate and the white walls of the shrine form a sharp contrast, giving it a mysterious and elegant feel. I walked through the shrine grounds, feeling the sacred energy and harmony of nature. ⛩️🍃🌸 Shirahama Shrine is also a place for ceremonies and festivals, during which the clergy offer prayers and performances and the public gather to celebrate. This moment was filled with joy and sacredness, and I felt the power of being connected to the divine. 🎉🙏✨ Shirahama Shrine is not only a religious site, but also a place where people can feel the beauty of nature. The shrine is surrounded by beautiful nature, with beaches and forests not far away. I took a walk along the beach near the shrine, enjoying the stunning sea views and golden sand. This natural and sacred environment made me feel calm and peaceful, as if I was one with nature and the gods. ⛩️🌊🌳 Shirahama Shrine is a place where I can feel the traditional culture and mysterious power of Japan. Here you can experience the traditional sacrificial rituals and sacred atmosphere, while also appreciating the unique combination of natural beauty. If you are interested in mystery and Japanese culture, and want to find a sacred place connected with the gods, I strongly recommend you to come to Shirahama Shrine and pursue a mysterious journey! ⛩️🌊🙏 #Japanese and Korean urban attractions

There is a place where you can leave your luggage and take a shower, but only in the summer. There are also several food stalls. It goes without saying that the sea and the beach are beautiful, and the waves are just right for bodyboarding beginners.

Shirahama Beach is a recommended beach in the Kanto area 🌊 As the name suggests, the sand is white, so it contrasts beautifully with the blue sea ✨ Ikonahime Shrine (Shirahama Shrine) on the beach was also beautiful with its vermilion torii gates shining against the blue sky ⛩ It's close to the Izu and Shimoda areas, so it's recommended for summer vacation outings! It's also nice to go to the famous Shuzenji Temple! It's easier to access by car, but if you're taking the train, take the Super View Odoriko from Shinjuku to Izukyu-Shimoda Station 🚈 It can be accessed by bus in about 20 minutes from Izukyu-Shimoda Station 🚌 #Domestic travel #Swimming #How to spend summer vacation #Shirahama Beach #Izu Shimoda #Shizuoka sightseeing
