The endpoint of Izu, the starting point of emotions.
Minami-Izu Town, located at the southernmost tip of Izu, enjoys a favorable climate even on Honshu. It is a place where new emotions begin, as well as a destination to reach.
With its beautiful white sands, Yuigahama, the dynamic cliffs of Irouzaki, and the crystal-clear waters of Hirizo Beach, this town offers a stunning landscape.
In spring, early-blooming cherry blossoms and rapeseed flowers color the town, while summer brings lively beach activities and tide pooling. 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.
Moreover, this land, which has lived alongside the sea for centuries, is filled with warm connections between people and a simple yet vibrant culture.
When you arrive at the end of your journey in Izu, something will begin to stir within you――
Minami-Izu Town is that "starting point of emotions."
