BEACH

Toi beach is the largest swimming area on the west coast of the Izu Peninsula and was voted as one of Japan’s 88 best beaches. The beach is fairly shallow, with many lifeguards during summer to make it perfect for a perfect beach getaway. If you want to escape the horrendous summer humidity then why not dip in to the water?

Parking at Matsubara Park is free until the summer season as many tourists come here. The beach gets very crowded so you may want to get here early to snag a parking spot and a space on the sand.

Review

Toi beach is a must see if you’re in the area, especially during summer. The walk around the beach is fairly short, but many shops line the coastline, especially during summer season. If you’re wanting a nice beach getaway then Toi is the perfect place to come.

The beach gets very packed during the summer season. Japanese people tend to bring tents to escape from the sun so feel free to bring your own, or just leave your towel at a spot on the beach. It’s safe enough to leave your stuff while you swim as theft is very uncommon here. The swimming area is cordoned off so make sure not to swim over the ropes as these waters can get deep and aren’t guaranteed to be safe/free from any sealife.

Make sure you only go swimming during swimming season, usually July – late August. September is jellyfish season so it’s very likely that you’ll injure yourself if you go swimming when it’s not approved.

RECOMMENDED ROUTE:

Toi beach is easiest to get to by car as public transport on the West side of Izu can be quite sporadic. If you’re travelling by public transport then take the train from Mishima to Shuzenji on the Izu Hakone Tetsudo Line. Switch to the bus bound for Matsuzaki (松崎) and get off at Toi Onsen (土肥温泉).
