Kadowakitsuri Bridge

BRIDGE

With good transport links, the East coast of Izu is much more popular and well-known. Jogasaki Coast is not an exception. The saw-toothed coastline extending for 9km is a must-see destination for anyone visiting the peninsula. It is part of both the Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park and also the Izu Peninsula Geo Park.

Kadowakitsuri Bridge is a famous Instagrammable spot that can’t be missed if you’re in the area. Be warned that due to its popularity, you may have to wait to get good shots on the bridge.

Buses run infrequently (one per hour) to the coast and also aren’t taken from the nearby station so walking the 20 minutes, taking a taxi or driving is my recommended ways of getting here. There is a car park with a base rate of ￥500 after the first 15 minutes.

Review

This bridge is in a great location, however I was expecting it to be a little longer. Located very close to the car park, it’s an easy walking distance and also seems to be disabled friendly! We visited during the pandemic so tourists were at a minimum, however I do see this bridge being super popular when it’s safe enough to travel again.

If you have the time then definitely visit the other attractions in the area. It’s worth coming for the attractions as a whole but the bridge itself is very short (not including the waiting time for photos) so it’s better to pack more into your schedule.

RECOMMENDED ROUTE:

Kadowakitsuri Bridge is easiest to get to by car however you are able to take the train to Izu Kogen Station and then a bus bound for Kaiyo Koen (10 minutes, ￥250 one way). Due to the infrequency of the buses I recommend walking 20 minutes to the coastline from Jogasaki Kaigan Station.
