Cliffside Wonders: Exploring Imaihama Beach on the Izu Peninsula

Location: Imaihama Beach, Kawazu, Shizuoka, Japan Timestamp: 06:31 on February 14, 2024

I set out from home at 3:30 a.m., driving directly to the Kawazuhama Parking Lot—a mere 10-minute stroll from the southern tip of Imaihama Beach in the town of Kawazu, Shizuoka Prefecture, on the eastern coast of the Izu Peninsula. Kawazu Town boasts numerous parking lots, typically charging a one-time fee of about ¥1,000. However, the Kawazuhama Parking Lot offers the advantage of being free of charge.

To access this parking lot, plan for an approximately 3-hour and 30-minute drive from central Tokyo via expressways. Given the limited parking spaces, especially if you aim to secure a spot for sunrise viewing, it's crucial to depart early and endeavor to arrive before dusk, as the lot tends to fill up rapidly.

After arriving, my border collie and I took the trail from the parking lot to a scenic path along the cliff's top edge, offering breathtaking views of waves crashing below. Approximately halfway through, a concrete staircase protrudes from the cliffs, guiding you down to the coastline. Here, you'll witness sea stacks rising from the sandy beach, providing some nice subjects for seascape photography.

For those opting for train travel, catch the bullet train to Atami Station. Transfer to the Ito Line and make another transfer at Ito Station to the Izu Kyuko Line. Disembark at Imaihama-Kaigan Station and head south, where Imaihama Beach awaits just a 4-minute walk from the station.

While train travel is faster and relatively cost-effective, considering the absence of fuel and toll road expenses, driving remains the optimal choice for sunrise enthusiasts who prefer not to book a hotel or have a large dog as your travel companion.

Should you visit during the Kawazu Cherry Blossom Festival, a mere 10-minute walk from the parking lot will lead you to the Kawazu River. There, you can enjoy a 3.4 km (2.11 mi) stretch of Kawazu cherry blossoms adorning both sides of the riverbank.

Check out my ad-free blog post, where I include Google Maps links to key locations, along with additional information about the the Kawazu Cherry Blossom Festival (https://www.pix4japan.com/blog/20240214-imaihama).

Photo of the Day: Izu

Just so we are clear, this is a very much doctored image. I did take this photo, but it was during the day. It was almost noon as a matter of fact. However, I added the night sky and liked the results. The place is real. The photo was taken on the Izu Peninsula at a place called, “Jogasaki.” It is in Shizuoka Prefecture. It’s close to Tokyo, but access is still not easy. I used Atami, a town at…

From Sea Stacks to Volcanic Glows: Izu Peninsula's Coastal Beauty

Location: Imaihama Beach, Kawazu, Shizuoka, Japan Timestamp: 06:53 on February 14, 2024

Pentax K-1 II + DFA 28-105mm F3.5-5.6 + CP 28 mm ISO 100 for 1/400 sec. at ƒ/9.0

Visiting Imaihama Beach for the first time, I was pleasantly surprised to discover that a natural formation at the southernmost tip of the beach blocks the view of the large hotel right on the beach to the north. This formation allows for an unobstructed view of the sunrise, painting the sky with warm hues over the gentle waves and scattered sea stacks on the sandy shoreline.

To the left of the sea stack on the distant horizon stands Oshima Island, the largest among the Izu Islands—a cluster of volcanic islands adorning the eastern coastline of the Izu Peninsula.

Oshima has an active volcano, with major eruptions recorded in 1965, 1986, and the most recent event in 1990. My familiarity with Oshima Island dates back to the 1986 eruptions when I found myself atop Shonan-daira where I was marveled at the bright flashes and glow emanating from the volcanic eruptions and lava flow on Oshima Island, a distant spectacle at 65.04 km (40.41 mi) due south of Shonan-daira.

Whether leisurely strolling along the shores of Imaihama Beach or venturing into the coastal treasures scattered across the Izu Peninsula, keep an eye out for many of the geological marvels that collectively form the Izu Peninsula Geopark!

I have included Google Maps links to this location and have links to sites providing additional information about Oshima Island, Shonan-daira, and the Izu Peninsula UNESCO Global Geopark (https://www.pix4japan.com/blog/20240214-sea-stack).
