Craggy coastlines, steaming onsen, and emerald peaks – the Izu Peninsula is Japan at its most elemental. Just a train ride from Tokyo, this wildly scenic region feels worlds away, where time slows to the rhythm of the waves and the scent of sulphur lingers in the air. Think clifftop shrines, hidden beaches, lush forests, and ryokans where kaiseki dinners stretch into the night. Whether hiking the Jogasaki coast, soaking in a volcanic hot spring, or slurping fresh-caught sashimi in a fishing village, Izu is a reminder that Japan’s beauty lies not just in its cities – but in its soul.
