    Jogasaki Coast is located on the east coast of the Izu Peninsula and is a spectacular spot of natural beauty and magnificent scenery. The 9 km-long lava coastline was formed by the eruption of Mt. Omuro about 4,000 years ago, and offers a grand landscape of strange rocks and precipitous cliffs. In particular, the view from "Kadowaki Suspension Bridge" is spectacular, and the sheer cliffs and crashing waves seen from the 23-meter-high, 48-meter-long bridge are worth seeing. The thrill of crossing the suspension bridge is also a special attraction of this spot. Jogasaki Coast offers many photogenic spots and is a popular spot for photography enthusiasts. The landscape of oddly formed rocks, precipitous cliffs, blue sea, and sky is picturesque no matter where it is cut off. The sunset is especially memorable and brings unforgettable memories with your partner.
