The torii arch on the coastline, which can be seen at 0:30 in the video, is actually Ikona Hime No Mikoto Shrine, the oldest shrine in Izu. It is commonly called Shirahama Jinja Shrine.
The contrast of the bright red beach torii and the emerald green sea is breathtaking.
The goddess Ikona, who is the wife of Mishima Daimyojin, is enshrined as the main deity of Ikona Hime No Mikoto Shrine, and is believed to be the goddess of women.
If you visit the shrine, it will bring good luck in marriage and increase your romance abilities!

The large rock facing the sea is called Daimyojin Rock and is known as a power spot.
In addition, at the bottom of the cliff behind the main building, there is a spot called Ogama, which is a sea-eroded cave into which sea water flows.
