The end of Izu, the starting point of emotions.
Located at the southernmost tip of the Izu Peninsula, Minami-Izu Town enjoys a favorable climate even on Honshu. Here, it serves as both a "destination" and a place where new emotions begin.
With the beautiful white sands of Yuigahama, the dynamic cliffs of Irouzaki, and the crystal-clear sea of Ougahama, the endless horizon and the rich nature brought by the Kuroshio Current soothe the hearts of visitors.
In spring, early-blooming cherry blossoms and rapeseed flowers color the town; in summer, it bustles with beachgoers and tide pool explorers; and from autumn to winter, gentle sunlight and hot springs warmly welcome travelers. Throughout the seasons, a relaxed pace of life flows that cannot be experienced in the city.
Additionally, this land, which has lived in harmony with the sea for centuries, is home to warm connections between people and a simple yet vibrant culture. The fresh seafood caught locally is also a major attraction.
When you reach the end of your journey in Izu, something will stir within you――
Minami-Izu Town is that "starting point of emotions."
