Nishina Pass Observation Deck
VIEWPOINT
The Izu Peninsula’s west coast is full of breathtaking, overlooked viewpoints, waiting to be explored. It’s one of the best “hidden gems” off the beaten path that Izu has to offer and is a must see if you are looking for somewhere away from the hustle and bustle of the city with amazing views.
Located on top of the mountain range, the area is full of nature walks and gorgeous viewpoints. If you’re a fan of scenic walks then definitely attempt the journey along the mountain paths.
There is a small car park available.
Review
Nishina Pass Observation Deck is another hidden gem that I found while driving about the peninsula, located on my favourite road to drive. This road is full of great viewpoints where you can see over the peninsula towards the Suruga Bay, or towards Tokyo if you’re looking in the other direction.
There is a small car park here you can leave your car at. To get to the viewpoint you’ll need to climb up a small hill with steps. The view from the top is definitely worth it. You get a complete panoramic view of the whole area! I especially recommend coming here either during golden hour or sunset so you can take some breathtaking photos.
Aside from this there is a walking trail which takes you all the way across the mountain range. If you’re keen on walking then try and walk towards Mt. Daruma! There isn’t much else to do here.
