Moroguchi Shrine is a gorgeous place to visit no matter the time of year. With excellent views of Mt. Fuji, I recommend coming in the winter season as it can be difficult to get a clear view of Mt. Fuji on a summer day. You definitely won’t regret coming if you happen to time your visit during golden hour/sunset!

The Numazu Flood Gate is a good place to come and overlook Numazu and the surrounding area. I really recommend coming here on a day where the weather is good! Unfortunately there’s not much else to do here other than look at the scenery.

Cape Ose is a gorgeous place to visit no matter the time of year. With excellent views of Mt. Fuji, I recommend coming in the winter season as it can be difficult to get a clear view of Mt. Fuji on a summer day. However, if you’re interested in swimming/scuba diving, summer is definitely the time to visit! Either way, you definitely won’t regret coming if you happen to time your visit during golden hour/sunset!

Oyodo-Koyodo

VIEWPOINT

Ito is an area full of amazing viewpoints and Tsushima Falls is no exception. With views of the eastern coastline overlooking the ocean, it’s definitely worth making the journey down. Oyodo-Koyodo was created when lava filled the area after an eruption from Mt. Omuro around 4,000 years ago. The steps down to the actual rocks is quite tough but very rewarding.

There is a free car park available, however there aren’t many spaces. Search for 橋立観光駐車場 in Google Maps to find it.

Review

I’ve always heard that the Ito coastline was pretty but I rarely drive over this side of the peninsula. I definitely wasn’t disappointed by the view. The normal car park was full so we parked at the station and walked down to the waterfall. There are signposts in English and it’ll take you down a path along the river. At the end turn right and at an open area turn left to head down the steps (they can be quite difficult to find).

The steps here are a killer! Being only around 5ft 4, I had to jump at most of the steps to get up/down them. It’ll be much easier for you if you’re tall. It’s definitely worth the trek down. You can take some really good photos after climbing all the rocks. Make sure you rest and take in the scenery as this area is just so breathtaking. As a bonus you can also see the waterfall from another angle here.

RECOMMENDED ROUTE:

Parking can be a bit of a nightmare to find. I recommend taking the train from Atami to Izu-Kogen Station and then walk to the waterfall from there. There is a car park for here, however there aren’t many spaces. The station also provides parking for a fee.
