Izu Jogasaki Coast The sea and the continuous mountains complement each other, and the seamless blend of sky and sea is exhilarating.
Kadowaki Suspension Bridge The bridge hangs above a deep canyon, surrounded by lush forests. Standing on the suspension bridge, you see continuous mountains and dense green vegetation, as if stepping into a moving landscape painting.
Izu Ocean View Train Experience Along the Pacific coastline, the most beautiful section is from Izu Kogen to Inatori, with surging waves and a breathtakingly blue sea outside the window.
Marine Town Ito Marinetown (道の駅 伊東マリンタウン) is the most popular seaside leisure station in Ito City, Shizuoka Prefecture. Located along National Route 135, facing Sagami Bay, it boasts a wealth of facilities including ocean view hot springs, specialty foods, marine sightseeing cruises, and souvenir shopping centers.

Reviews
The scenery was beautiful, the itinerary was well-organized, and the driver provided great service—patient and good at sharing locations. It was a wonderful experience!
Your experience might also depend on your driver and I'm lucky to have Mr. Kou Fuku with us that day. He drove safely and has a lot of life experience and was very fun to talk to. He is also fluent in English, Chinese, Cantonese, Japanese.
Driver drove safe, well and look after passengers. I will join another tour because he is a good driver.
The Kawazu cherry blossoms have just started to bloom, so there aren't that many yet. It's a bit disappointing not to see them in full bloom. The driver said that each tree's blooming period is about a week, and the entire blooming period lasts for about a month. However, the splendid alfonsino viewing sea train is really like something out of a Japanese anime. Overall, I'm satisfied. I recommend coming again in early March for an even more beautiful experience.
The details were provided quite late before departure, reminding guests to arrive 10-15 minutes early. However, the driver, Shi Yu, was 10 minutes late to the meeting point and did not proactively inform the guests of the delay. Overall, the itinerary was not greatly affected, and the duration of stays and attractions matched the description. The driver worked hard, as the round trip journey was over 6 hours. There was no tour guide (so no rating), but everyone could wander freely and simply tour and take photos. Departing with 9 people was great; the vehicle was comfortable, and there wasn't much waiting for people. Everyone gathered on time at each attraction.
The itinerary was well-arranged, and the driver, Mr. Tian, provided excellent and courteous service. The scenery was beautiful and highly recommended.
A fantastic experience! The Kawazu cherry blossoms in Kawazu-cho, Izu are in full bloom. It's worth everyone coming to see. Absolutely worth the trip. I'd come again if I have the chance.
This was a great day trip! Sun was our driver and was very helpful. It was a good time frame to be at each location too, overall very happy and highly recommend
The itinerary and estimated times were accurate, and the driver drove smoothly and safely. The 9-seater van had limited space, but the group members were punctual. Jogasaki Coast is worth a visit. The train transfer midway was a good arrangement. We had three hours in Kawazu, including lunch, which was just enough time to take photos and enjoy the cherry blossoms that were in full bloom that day.
Awesome trip with Kimura san, the most patient tour guide and safe driver. Thanks for driving us around the whole day and keeping us safe throughout the whole journey! First we went to Jogasaki, lunch at IzunKogen stn before getting onto the scenic train, then 3hrs of free time at Kawazu Sakura festival. It's almost the last week to see Sakura so I m really grateful !!
