About Izu Area

Izu area, a healing paradise of sea and hot springs

The Izu area in Shizuoka Prefecture is known as a nature-rich resort area surrounded by the sea and mountains. With its beautiful coastline, areas such as Shimoda and Atami are very popular among tourists for snorkeling, diving, and beach resorts.

Izu is also a treasure trove of hot springs, with many hot spring resorts and open-air baths offering spectacular views. In the “Izu Peninsula Geopark,” visitors can fully enjoy the oddly shaped rocks, caves, and other landforms created by nature, as well as gourmet seafood and fresh wasabi.

The combination of relaxation and activity makes this the perfect resort for foreign visitors.
