Ito Marinetown (Shizuoka)
Ito Marinetown is set directly along the coast of Shizuoka Prefecture, offering expansive ocean views where fishing boats and pleasure craft are often seen bobbing at the docks. Its relaxed harbor atmosphere is like no other roadside stop in Japan.
The open layout and waterfront promenade make it an appealing stop for travelers exploring the Izu Peninsula, whether arriving by car, train, or even boat. As the name implies, Ito Marinetown is nearby the city of Ito in Shizuoka, famous for seaside attractions like the Kadowaki Bridge suspended over dynamic waters, as well as other natural panoramas like the lush green Mount Omuro.
