Irozaki	# 6   of 10 sights in Izu Peninsula

The rugged, relatively unspoiled coastline of southern Izu with its capes, cliffs and beaches is a highlight of the Izu Peninsula. A white lighthouse and Iro Shrine stand at Irozaki, the peninsula's southernmost tip. The shrine is built into the rocks at the very tip of the cape and offers beautiful views of the coast. The "Jungle Park", a tropical botanical garden, is also nearby. The coast around Irozaki can also be viewed from sightseeing boats. Cruises last about 25 minutes, depart every 30 minutes and cost 1120 yen per person. Other capes and beaches along the southern coast of Izu are less touristically developed. One of the nicest is Cape Tarai, eight kilometers east of Irozaki. The cape and nearby stone beach are reached by nature trails through the forest.

How to get there

Tokai Bus operates one to two buses per hour between Shimoda Station and Irozaki in each direction. The one way trip takes about 40 minutes and costs 860 yen. There are also a few buses from Matsuzaki on the western coast to Irozaki. The one way journey takes about 90 minutes and costs 1500 Yen. The closest bus stop to Cape Tarai is Kyukamura, reached about 23 minutes after leaving Shimoda Station by a Irozaki bound bus. The one way fare is 620 yen.
