There’s a 10km hiking trail along the entire coastline, which I would mark moderate as there are rugged trail terrains on some bits. The trail overlooks the cliffs and rock formations. The main lighthouse and Kadowakizaki Suspension Bridge is the most popular area, overrun with tourists and visitors but still worth a visit.
There are buses running to the bridge areas but we took a 20min walk from Jogasaki-Kaigan station.
Scenic hike along the coast. Not easy to find swimming areas but there is a swimming hole where you can jump off the cliff! To get to the swimming area, get off at the Jogasaki Kaigan station and follow the sign for the hiking course. We saw locals snorkeling there as well.
There are lots of museums and places where you can make glass beads jewelry, pottery, etc.
Beautiful scenic views with a lighthouse available to wander up and enjoy the scenery. Nice walk through the area, much quieter than the hustle and bustle of other areas of Japan.
We parked at the New York Lamp Museum and Flower Garden, and walked to the Jogasaki suspension bridge. Although the walk was little more than 1 kilometre, it felt considerably longer because we took the path along the cliff top close to the sea, and there were lots of steps and sharp twists. But I would highly recommend taking that route; the views were spectacular. The suspension bridge itself is very impressive, and it’s worthwhile going to the top of the lighthouse for the panoramic views.
A nice walk, not too hard, just keep a steady pace and stop if you’re tired. Wear decent shoes, high heels a no-no, and appropriate clothing for the weather and time of year.
Plenty of toilets available on the way and apart from rocks, trees and the sea, there’s a lighthouse and a suspension bridge to enjoy.
Located on the south of Ito, Jogasaki Coast 城ヶ崎海岸 is a gigantic lava rock coast with a magnificent formation spanning about 9 kilometres. It was formed by the erosion of the ocean waves into the rock, after the volcanic eruption of Mt. Omuro 大室山 4000 years ago.
There is a large parking lot (500 yen per entry) at the park and after a short walk one would reach a hiking trail and the Kadowaki Lighthouse 門脇灯台. You can walk up to the observation deck at the lighthouse to look at the Izu Shichito Islands 伊豆七島 during a good day.
Further along the trail one would reach the Kadowaki Suspension Bridge 門脇吊橋. Spanning 48 metres in length, it is one of the most famous sightseeing spots in Izu. Apart from the really beautiful scene one can also immerse in the vegetation and trees around.
