As dynamic and varied in it’s natural beauty as the powerful volcanic forces that shaped it Izu Peninsula has a perfect blend of ancient Japan and modern convenience. Located just 1 1/2 hours south of Tokyo the Izu Peninsula is easily accessible by train or car. Situated between beautiful Suruga Bay and Sagami Bay with the Amagi Mountain Range running down the center the Izu Peninsula provides lush semi-tropical mountain forests for great hiking, mountain biking, and for the truly adventurous, para-sailing. Surfers, sunbathers, and beachcombing families will love the white sandy beaches. Fantastic hot spring resorts along the coast and in the mountains with both traditional Japanese and Western style accommodations are the perfect way to relax after an exciting day enjoying all of the activities. The Izu Peninsula has been designated a Geopark and to that end the region has a strong commitment to preserving the natural beauty and cultural heritage. Come experience the stunning Izu Peninsula!
