As a Tokyo resident, I love to escape to Izu in summer. There is so much to see and do especially if you like sea related activities like scuba diving. At the southernmost point of Izu there a very special ryokan called ryugu which is pretty hidden, awesome experience.
My life’s dream? Having the time and the money to do all the itineraries in the Japan Guide videos,time amd time again… Thanks for another dream Matt!🙂
Thank you so much for continuing making high quality Japan travel videos. Your channel is the first thing I visit when I'm thinking of new place to visit. You never fail! P.S. Matt is looking very good!
These videos always hit me right in the feels. Izu Peninsula has been on my list for a bit now, it may just make an appearance this year… Thanks as always JG.
Excellent video! However, how did you get to the Jogasaki Coast trail? It is a long distance from the nearest train station. Can you please explain. Thank you.
Thank you so much! To get to the Jogasaki Coast trail, we took a train from Izukyu Shimoda Station to Izu Kogen Station, where we took a bus bound for Kaiyo Koen (海洋公園) and got off at Izu Kaiyo Koen. Here is more information on the Jogasaki Coast and access: www.japan-guide.com/e/e6308.html Hope this helps!
Thank you! We try to avoid mentioning prices since they change from one year to another and also sometimes vary depending on the season. The hotel rooms go from around 6,000 yen without meals to 40,000 yen with 2 meals. The bicycle rental go from 1,000 yen for an hour, 3,000 yen for 4 hours and 5,000 yen for a full day. Hope this helps!
Hi, it was an informative guide to Izu. Just a question, is it a good time to visit Izu during the winter because most of the videos I seen refers Izu as the summer escape?
Hey, that's a nice video! But you should do another video of the west coast of Izu!! It's way more spectacular than the more developed east coast. However, that means renting a car, but it's so worth! :D
After looking it up, is it possible that there is a mistake at 6:03? The Shimoda Treaty was between Japan and Russia, and the treaty that Perry signed, which first opened japan to foreign trade was signed in Kanagawa. Edit: I find conflicting information about the Treaty of Amity and Commerce, also known as Harris Treaty, which was either signed at Ryosen-ji in Shimoda or on his ship in the bay of Tokyo. Ryosen-ji also served as Perry's residence when he was visiting Shimoda after the Treaty of Kanagawa was signed.
Travelers could use coin lockers at the stations, or - because this is just an overnight trip from Tokyo - leave their big bags in Tokyo and bring just a small bag. Those making this trip not as a side trip from Tokyo could consider shipping their large suitcase to a future base and just use a small bag for the Izu side trip.

Good question! There are hourly buses from Kawazu Station that will take you directly to the upper or lower ends of the trail that leads past the waterfalls. If you need more information regarding access: www.japan-guide.com/e/e6313.html Hope this helps!
Having such advanc3d and maintained train system, the tickets system seems so convoluted. Why require a passport, youre already in the country, you showed it in the airport.
Kinda disappointing video. So many spots are missed. I want to believe in that you couldn't get permission to shoot video, rather than doing a sloppy research.

The Kawazu cherry blossom trees are the earliest to bloom in Japan. You can view them in February
The intro is superb! Definitely give this trip a go when I am in Tokyo.

Very informative, thx a lot
Loved your RUclips. Casualness is so comfortable. Great choices of spots to experience. Thanks!
I'd also recommed Dogashima in western Izu and mt. Omuro at Izu-kogen.
Izu is paradise.
Thank you for this great video. I'll be on Izu in 8 weeks and I'm looking forward to seeing this great landscape
Glad you enjoyed the video! Have a great time in Izu!

Nice trip, but the video should mention prices. How much was the ryokan and electric bikes rental?

Hi, it was an informative guide to Izu. Just a question, is it a good time to visit Izu during the winter because most of the videos I seen refers Izu as the summer escape?
How far in advance should one book the Izukyu Hotel or something alike?
with the success of the Shogun tv show, Izu's bound to draw more foreign tourists:)
Is the area featured? I haven't seen Shogun yet!
Hey, that's a nice video! But you should do another video of the west coast of Izu!! It's way more spectacular than the more developed east coast. However, that means renting a car, but it's so worth! :D
Do you have to reserve the bikes, hotel, shuttle in advance if you arrive in Tokyo 2nd week of May?? First time Japan travelers here.
After looking it up, is it possible that there is a mistake at 6:03? The Shimoda Treaty was between Japan and Russia, and the treaty that Perry signed, which first opened japan to foreign trade was signed in Kanagawa.

👍👍👍👍
Is the strep a situation a problem?
First time I know about Izu Peninsula is from Yuru Camp anime series
I'm curious. What would a traveler do with their luggage during this itinerary since they don't check into their hotel until 3 towns in?
Travelers could use coin lockers at the stations, or - because this is just an overnight trip from Tokyo - leave their big bags in Tokyo and bring just a small bag. Those making this trip not as a side trip from Tokyo could consider shipping their large suitcase to a future base and just use a small bag for the Izu side trip.

What if I can't ride a bike?
Good question! There are hourly buses from Kawazu Station that will take you directly to the upper or lower ends of the trail that leads past the waterfalls.

Locals cannot buy the pass which is sold at a discount. It's exclusive for foreigners only, that's why need to show passport
