BEACH

Odoi Beach is a smaller beach on the west coast of the Izu Peninsula, perfect for swimming and fishing. If you want to escape the horrendous summer humidity then why not dip in to the water?

Parking 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

If you’re wanting to visit a smaller, less crowded beach then Odoi Beach might be for you. Tourists come in the summer, although the nearby Toi Beach is much more popular.

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:

Odoi 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 Doigyokyo. Unfortunately there isn’t a bus to take you to Odoi so you would have to walk 12 minutes to get to the beach.
