Jōren Falls, a picturesque location along the Kano River, features an enchanting 25-meter waterfall that cascades into a pool. This natural wonder is steeped in folklore and boasts stunning views of the surrounding landscape. Visitors can park their cars in the lot and take a lengthy staircase to reach the base of the falls, where they can witness wasabi cultivation that takes advantage of the area's pristine water sources. Fishing enthusiasts will appreciate access to a nearby pond service on the river.
It was a very beautiful waterfall. I parked my car in the parking lot. A waterfall can be seen far below the parking lot. Take a long, long staircase to the waterfall. When I got down to the bottom, wasabi, a special product of Izu, was cultivated. It is agriculture that makes use of clean water. There was a fishing pond service on the river, and many people enjoyed fishing. There is a beautiful waterfall in front of you, and you can feel the negative ions throughout your body. On the way back, you have to go up the long long stairs. I am very tired. However, it is worth going to the bottom to see the waterfall.

Beautiful falls. It's a short walk down a bunch of stairs. Good brief cardio work out. The souvenir store supports region pay in case you have the coupons.

The photos don't do it justice, it was more spectacular than I thought, especially in the rain. The surprising bonus was the small wasabi farm also in the gorge, so you can see the waterfall and get your wasabi hit (including buying fresh wasabi) in the same place.
There are about 200 steps and no wheelchair accessibility. No toilets in the gorge either.

This was a really beautiful spot to come and relax and take a short break away from Tokyo. It seems they created an irrigation system using the waterfall to continuously water all the wasabi plants, so the sound of all the water rushing through us really relaxing. They offer fishing and even sell some wasabi ice cream (it’s just vanilla ice cream with some wasabi on top. Be careful it’s super spicy haha we got heartburn after eating it and walking up all the steps). Definitely recommend it as a quick stop to anyone passing through Shizuoka, especially for the first time.

Pretty small waterfall might be better to try the trout fishing? Seems that would be a fair attraction I guess. Not bad for a pit stop or ice cream stop.

Waterfall is around 15mins walk from the parking area.

Japan is well known for its beautiful waterfalls, and Joren Falls is exceptional. What makes it interesting is there is a wasabi farm next to the falls.. (so you can actually see how wasabi is grown). Also interesting is that you can go trout fishing from the river (for a fee). It’s well paved with wide steps which are steep, so the return back to the car park could be daunting. Free parking is available. Also on site is a souvenir shop that sells fresh wasabi and snacks.

A nice place to stop on the route 414 or driving from Izu to Kawazu city. A waterfall with huge amount of water can be seen there after getting down around 150 stairs.
Parking is completely free.
There are several shops for souvenirs.

One of the countless hidden wonders of the area. If you are ever in Shizuoka, you can't leave without going through this mini jungle view that has a waterfall as a bonus. The most impressive to me is seeing the wasabi grow in the surreal clean water.
The Bamboo Forest Path is a charming and serene walkway that cuts through a small grove of bamboo. Visitors can enjoy a peaceful stroll while taking in the natural beauty of the surrounding area. The pathway leads to a picturesque clearing which provides an ideal spot for relaxation or enjoying refreshments at one of the nearby cafes. The local shops, restaurants, and souvenir stores offer a unique and welcoming atmosphere that is sure to delight visitors.
This area is very delightful and wonderful to visit with local stores, restaurants and souvenir shops, with unique welcoming atmosphere. The people were very welcoming and warm. The place is not only about the Bamboo path, I would rather say instead of forest, because the bamboo area is not big at all. There's a very small geothermal hotspring in the river which is worth to visit.

Although the bamboo forest is small, if youre looking for a place where you can enjoy onsen and a scenic view i would recommend this place because it is not too crowded like kyoto and it is also near tokyo. You can just ride the shinkansen and ride train to reach this place. The area is also surrounded by restaurants and cafe. You can also explore the area on foot.

Green bamboo is very green in spring time and summer time, but beware that will be a lot of crowd. Recommended to come earlier in the morning to get a more quite moment.
There also a ricksaw services with fee, quite expensive but a worthed exprience. The ride will be around bamboo forest and street for short distance and up to river for long distance.

This is a place with excellent sea view and romantic atmosphere. When you visit there in sunny day, you see the Fuji Mountain too. There used to be special ceremony on Valentine day (14 Feb)
Other than the great view, there are two major things to do in here.
1st, swing the 2 bells there, one in the middle of the track, the other at the end. That sort of give you the blessing to stay with your love one forever. Remember to swing and ring the bell for 3 times each.
2nd, buy the heart shape gift card and put it on the hanging string near the entrance of the track

Old Amagi Tunnel North Side is a popular spot known for its connection to the novel Dancer of Izu. Visitors are drawn to the small light at the end of the dark tunnel, creating an irresistible allure. The road leading to the tunnel from the north is in poor condition, but still accessible by car. Despite rough terrain and potential bear disturbances, many hikers frequent this area on weekends.
Tunnel is closed to vehicle for repairs (opens end of September 2020) but go walk the tunnel instead of driving. It's nice.

(Translated by Google) A quaint place where the stone tunnels built during the Meiji period remain.
Access by car requires going up a one-lane unpaved road, and vehicles are allowed to pass inside the tunnel, although it is not possible to pass each other.
Until April 26, 2024, the road between the south mine entrance and Kanten Bridge will be closed due to construction work on the south side (Kawazu Town side) road. You can enter from the Joren Falls side and pass through to the southern mine entrance, but you will have to make a U-turn there and return.

(Translated by Google) I went on November 17, 2023 after watching a video of this tunnel on YouTube the day before and preparing for it. Entering the old road from the north, the road to the tunnel was extremely bad.
On the way, I passed many elderly people who were hiking over Amagi Pass. It was raining, but everyone is doing well.
When I arrived at the north entrance of the tunnel, I was so excited to see the tunnel that I had been watching every day on YouTube (lol).
When I saw the tunnel made of stones, I was impressed by the skill of the people of the past. It's similar to the stone walls of a castle. It was covered in moss and gave me a sense of history. It was very quiet inside the tunnel, there were lights on in some places, and it didn't feel scary at all.
This place seems to be a haunted spot, so I watched a haunted video beforehand and was hoping for something. But I don't believe in ghosts. This is because when humans die, they become unconscious and non-existent. Even after death, you cannot suffer or curse others. In fact, I didn't hear anything, and nothing appeared. Please feel safe. This is probably what people have heard from people who have walked through tunnels and thought it was scary.
I came out while talking to my husband about how [the bear released in this neighborhood] was scarier than ghosts. Unfortunately, on this day, the road beyond the south entrance was under construction, so we had to go back and forth through the tunnel. As I headed to my next destination, I thought back to ``The Dancer of Izu,'' which I read when I was a junior high school student. If I have another chance after the construction is finished, I would like to take the old road from south to north. I want to see Agar Bridge on the other side.
It was the first time in a while that I was excited in a different way. It was worth the trip. I like it very much. I would definitely like to visit again. This is a recommended spot.

2023/11/17、前日にYouTubeでこのトンネルの動画を見て予習してから行きました。旧道を北から入り、トンネルまで行くのが凄く悪路でした。
途中、天城峠越え(ハイキング)の高齢の方々とたくさんすれ違いました。雨が降っていましたが、皆さんお元気ですね。
トンネル北入り口に着いた時は、YouTubeで毎日見てたトンネルを目の当たりにして私のテンション上がりまくりでした(笑)
石を組んで造られたトンネルを見て、やはり昔の人の技術に感心しました。城の石垣と同じですね。苔むしていて歴史を感じました。トンネル中はとても静かで、所々に照明が点いていて、全然怖い雰囲気はありませんでした。
ここは、心霊スポットになっているらしく、事前に心霊の動画を観て、何かを期待してました。でも私は幽霊なんて信じません。人間は、死ぬと無意識無存在になるからです。死んだ後も苦しんだり、人を呪ったりすることができません。実際、何も聞こえませんでしたし、何も現れませんでしたよ。安心して通ってください。トンネル内を通って怖いと思った人の空耳でしょう。
幽霊なんかより、[この近所に放たれた熊]の方が怖いねって主人と話しながら出てきました。あいにくこの日は、南入り口の先の道路が工事中で、トンネルを往復して戻ってきました。昔、中学生の時に読んだ「伊豆の踊り子」を思い返しながら次の目的地に向かいました。工事が終わって、また機会があれば、今度は旧道を南から北へ抜けたいですね。向こう側の寒天橋が見たいです。

If it weren't for that famous song, few people would visit.
The road from the new road was surprisingly flat and could be reached even by a slightly low-height car. However, since I visited during the first half of Golden Week, I don't know if the roads were leveled before the holidays, and if there is heavy rain, the gravel may be washed away and become rough.
This time I was able to pass through the tunnel and reach the new road in the opposite direction without any difficulty, but I think it's a good idea to turn back if you feel unsafe.
The best thing to do is to wait at the entrance for oncoming traffic and ask about the situation. However, you never know when an oncoming car will arrive...

The Toi Gold Mine, a centuries-old historic site, offers an exciting adventure for families with children. Although the journey to reach this landmark may be long, it is worth visiting. Visitors can explore tunnels and participate in panning experiences while admiring a vast gold nugget. Additionally, the well-maintained garden and museum within the mine provide interesting English explanations about its history. Most thrillingly, visitors can also pan for their own gold during their visit!
Very interesting, historical and relaxing walk through an old mine. English language on most info signs. Takes about 45 minutes to walk through the mine, and about 45 minutes for the "panning for gold" activity. Tiny gold pieces can be found fairly easily. The park is fun for kids and adults. If you're already in the area, then it's worth the visit.

Interesting history. The mineral mines in this area really made this place prosperous. It was fun learning about the mine and panning for gold. The garden was also very beautiful and picturesque. They have gold foil ice cream. There’s no taste to the gold but the ice cream was delicious. Good place to stop if you’re in the area. Their restaurant is open from 11:00-15:00 with last order at 14:30. There are food trucks in the parking lot.

In May 2022. We had a car to reach the gold mine, so it was convenient. Reaching it by bus might be more complicated as there are a few.
The entry fee was 1000 jpy per person, a bit more if you want to do the gold activity (which seems famous to the kids).
It was interesting, but the visit was quite short. I wouldn't recommend going unless you are in the vicinity.

Interesting place to visit, one can understand the gold mining history of Japan from here.
The tunnels created for gold mining is kept and maintained for the visitors to walk around and see.
Through out the tunnel models are displayed explaining the life of miners.
There is a nice museum near, highlights are 12kg and 250kg gold. Visitors can touch and lift it(if you are strong enough).
Another attraction is the gold panning, at an extra cost we can try out luck in gold panning at the area provided near the gift shop.
One can get some interesting Omiyage from the gift shop here.
Overall a good experience worth the time for kids and adults.

It is located in a rural area called Toi in the west Izu area. This place has historic importance of once being the second most productive gold mine in Japan. The tour preserves the history of mining and difficulties involved for the labourer working under the ground which had been subjected to extreme conditions of seepage of hot springs and hot lack of oxygen. The story is told with the help of mechanically animated models. They also have a gold panning experience which allows you to pan as much of gold as you want in 30 mins.

"mining" gold is kind of a bit too short. They also use fake flowers for their "gods". It's very interesting to hold the world's biggest gold bar. 1000yen for the golden ice cream. Please buy from the grandma who is selling her handmade crafts within the Toi Gold Mine.

Check out my latest video 3-minute video on the Pix4Japan YouTube video which features photos and video taken on Kinkanzan and Darumayama--two scenic mountains located on the Izu Peninsula in Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan.
Darumayama (Mt. Daruma) stands at a height of 982 meters and is known for its winding trails among kuma bamboo grass.
Darumayama offer visitors a chance to experience the natural beauty of the Izu Peninsula, views of the Suruga Bay Coastline, and on a clear day, a fantastic view of Mt. Fuji.
The trailhead to Mt. Darumayama can be easily accessed from the Asebigahara Parking Lot located about 220 meters away on the Nishi-Izu Skyline toll road.
On this photo shoot, my border collie and I hiked directly from Mt. Kinkan to Mt. Darumayama via Mt. Kodarumayama, which took me about 2 hours.
Be forewarned that the trails for Mt. Kodarumayama and Mt. Darumayama include many wooden staircases going straight up the side of the mountain. No special hiking gear is required, but be sure to bring enough water with you since you will work up a sweat climbing all those stairs!

A great hiking course which you can choose to do 1 to 4 hrs depending on your energy level and available time. Easiest to go by car with some parking space in each entrance but you can also go by bus to a couple of entry point. This time we walked from
Hetatouge, parked our car there, and walked about 2.5 hrs to Darumayama and returned to Hetatouge. Amazing view and cool breeze which is blowing below the hill. Can be quite windy and has up and down...so long sleeve t-shirt even in middle of summer, bottle of water and good shoes are highly recommend. No vending machine nor shop near by so make sure you bring your own supply. Love this place in all season bit especially in hot and humid Japanese summer.

(Translated by Google) good. From the trailhead on the side of Mt. Odaruma, the altitude difference is 140m, and the distance is 500m, so compared to Mt. Kinkan and Mt. It takes about 15 minutes to reach the top of the stairs where the soil is not washed away, so even small children can take on the challenge.
There is no forest belt, and the whole area is covered with bamboo grass, so you can see both the road and the summit, and it feels good.
(Original)
良。小達磨山側の登山口からだと標高差140m 行程500mなので金冠山、小達磨山と比べると山登った感がありそうなのですが、行程の殆どは木階段、それもステップ幅は詰まりステップ面の土も流出していない階段、15分程で登頂できるので小さな子供連れでもチャレンジできます。
樹林帯はなく辺り一面笹だらけなので道中も山頂も視界が開けていて気持ちは良いのですが、遮るものは全くないので紫外線対策は必要です。

(Translated by Google) From the top, you can enjoy a wonderful view of Suruga Bay and Mt. Fuji (depending on the weather, of course).
There are also regular buses to Toda Pass, so a recommended holiday plan is to stay at Shuzenji Onsen and enjoy a one-day low-mountain trek.
For those using a car, it is also possible to drive right up to the summit of Mt. Daruma.
This time, we started our trek from the Toda Pass trailhead. After about 40 minutes of climbing up a mountain path covered with bamboo, you will pass the summit of Mt. Odaruma, which only has a signpost, and reach Mt. Daruma. About an hour and a half from the start, we reached the top of Mt. Daruma, crossing a ridgeline from which we could see Toda Port on the right and the Southern Alps across Suruga Bay.
The trail is well-maintained and well-marked throughout the entire hike, so even beginners can climb with confidence.
However, we climbed the mountain after it had snowed, so the mountain path was muddy and muddy, making it difficult to climb up and down. To see Mt. Fuji, try to climb it when the weather is nice.
The majestic view that spreads out in front of you after you reach the top is nothing short of amazing. I feel full of fulfillment.
(Original)
頂上から駿河湾と富士山の素晴らしい眺望を堪能することが出来ます(もちろん天気次第ですが)。
戸田峠までは定期バスもあるので、修善寺温泉に泊まってワンデー低山トレッキングを楽しむのはオススメの休日プランです。
クルマ利用の方は達磨山山頂直下までクルマで行くことも可能です。
我々は今回、戸田峠登山口からトレッキングスタート。笹で覆われた山道を登ること約40分ほどで標識だけの小達磨山山頂を過ぎ、達磨山へ。スタートから約1時間半ほどで右に戸田の港、駿河湾を挟んで南アルプスを眺めることのできる稜線を超えて達磨山頂上に到着。
山行全体を通して整備の行き届いた道で、標識もしっかりしているので初心者でも安心して登ることができます。
もっとも、僕たちが登ったのは雪が降った後でしたので、山道はドロドロのグッチョングッチョン、登るのも降りるのもひと苦労でした。富士山を見るためにも、出来るだけ天気のいい時に登りましょう。
登りきった後に目の前に広がる雄大な景色は素晴らしいの一言。充実感いっぱいです。

(Translated by Google) The origin of the mountain's name, Mt. Daruma, is that when viewed from the direction of Yui and Shimizu in central Shizuoka Prefecture, it looks exactly like Daruma-san (Daruma Daishi in meditation). There is also a theory that it is a mountain where even if you slip or fall, you can get back up immediately. There is a monument in the image of Daruma at the nearby Mt. Daruma Kogen Rest House.
(Original)
山名の達磨山の名の由来は、静岡県中部の由比・清水方面から見ると、丁度、ダルマさんの姿(座禅した達磨大師)に見えるというのが、由来だそうです。また、滑っても転んでも、 すぐに起き 上がれる山、という説もあります。近隣の達磨山高原レストハウスに、達磨さんを模したモニュメントがあります。
Shuzenji Niji-no-Sato is a theme park that features a narrow-gauge railway with vintage-style coaches pulled by miniature steam engines, providing visitors with a unique and enjoyable ride. Within the park, there are various attractions including an English village consisting of Nada village and a German village. Additionally, visitors can explore museums displaying ancient steam trains and children's toys. The Japanese-style garden provides a tranquil environment filled with beautiful trees, ducks, and carp in the pond.
This place has Japan's only 15-inch gauge railway. and this place is also very relaxing, and I like that there are 4 different places that resemble other countries around the world. Some parts of the park are getting old, but most of the stuff is being fixed and stuff. There are many events that take place in the park, such as one that lets you into the steam works, which i always like to participate in. (You can not go in the steam works on normal days without the event)

Very helpful that you can bring your cats and dogs with you and the establishment is quite big there are so many places where you could walk to and spend time and you could and also should bring your own food and spend here the whole day. We didn't even manage to see half of it. And then if there are no clouds you will be able to have wonderful views of Mount Fuji however even on a fully sunny day Mount Fuji will still find a bunch of clouds just around itself so that you can see it. If it is important to you make sure to check on the website for the Fuji visibility since it is quite accurate. They serve food but would not recommend Canada village because they didn't put the effort to join the travel coupon Grant and you cannot use your coupons there only at English village Costa coffee. Speaking of that the lady from the British double decker bus Costa coffee was so friendly and nice and understanding and helpful we liked her a lot and also the fact that we could use our travel points there and her pasta being half of expensive as the one in Canada village. There is also a Rose garden with standard basic Rose types, beautiful Japanese garden with pond and traditional arched bridge and there's a road to this park the rooms where Soseki a famous Japanese novelist used to stay and write his books and have a memorial of it where you can get inside and see how it was long ago. For every season they have the seasonal flowers blooming hydrangea wisteria Iris cherry blossom and the red Autumn leaves. In Winter they organize very extensive illuminations scattered in the park but they charge quite much for that entrance ticket and you cannot stay with your daytime ticket you have to get out and buy a new one which is very not practical crazy expensive. It's a small train riding around the park however you have to pay extra for that one too. Toilets are for free though 😂. They have thatched roof old type of buildings and American-Indian village and if Lucky Mount Fuji can be photographed in many places they have installations for your selfie taking operation and even have poles where you could insert your phone and use a self timer to take your selfies.

I really enjoyed my trip here. We went there the morning after a big typhoon and so there weren’t many people. If you don’t like bugs or being in nature I don’t recommend it.
We started the day on the train and went to the Canadian village where we enjoyed the kaleidoscope museum and learning about their sister city.
Next, we walked through the fairy and Japanese garden to go up to the craft village. We had so much fun making a name plate and wine holder. The lady there was so kind and encouraging. Unforgettable experience. It could be expensive, my name plate was around 2000 yen, but if you pick a smaller plate and do just your name I think you could make it for only around 1000 yen.
The views were very nice from the village and I fell into the koi pond at the Japanese garden lol.
We had so much fun at a restaurant in the Izu village! The British village definitely seemed the most worn out but I think it was fun.
Price wise I guess it could be expensive for a place that not even everything is open and stuff. I didn’t think the walk around was that long at all as there were various things to see and do along the way. Walk through the garden to get from one side to another and not on the road.
I think that many places need improvement and we’re not the cleanest but it is an old place. If you just namedrop a nearby ryokan like arai they will give you a 400 yen discount lol. For 800 yen I definitely think it was worth it but you have to consider; do you like walking around in nature? Do you mind older facilities? Do you mind dropping money on various things here and there? If you prepare your mind accordingly I think you can have a great time.

Speaking of the tourist destination of Shuzenji in Izu, it was "Niji no Sato". I was looking forward to paying the entrance fee and entering the park. The parking lot was also charged. There were very few customers. Are there few flowers blooming in June? The park is very large, but there are very few attractions. If you look forward to seeing the beautiful flowers, you will be disappointed. I simply go to enjoy nature, so if you have one, it would be a good place to take a walk. Several shops were closed, probably because there were few customers. That's too bad.

I am rating this 3 because I don't really find it a good place to enjoy with. The amount of money you get to spend for the entire place plus the entrance fee is not really worth it for me. I was expecting a jaw-dropping scenery and services but nah. Just a so-so type of place. I am definitely not going back here.

A very well designed and built UK theme park. I think it’s actually very well done. It may be a little old but I think it is still very aesthetically pleasing. It can be a little creepy because there are very few people around (maybe because of COVID-19). But I am sure when it is during its peak period, it could be more fun. This park is MASSIVE and you should allocated minimally 2-3 hours if you really want to explore the whole park. There is even a view point to see Mt Fuji. There are a lot of food stalls all over the park so you don’t have to worry about being hungry or thirsty. I would definitely go back again if I were to be at this area.

Go to see. shuzenji Garden Nishino Sato, a simulated theme park. English village Including the Nada village, a German village And there is also a museum Ancient steam trains and The museum of ancient children's toys as well. Including the back, walking down the stairs from him there is still a Japanese-style garden.
There is a shady atmosphere, full of beautiful trees and a pond for ducks and carp. There are restaurants, cafes, shops in the same area. It is a very wide area because it is in the valley so you have to walk a long distance. But here there is a service to sit. The old steam train provided To go down to various points as well, including a vintage British car to sit with.
Baird Brewery Gardens Shuzenji is a must-visit for beer aficionados and nature enthusiasts. The brewery offers an immersive experience, with guided tours showcasing their craft brewing process and the opportunity to sample their aromatic beers, including seasonal and special brews. Using whole flower hops sets Baird's beers apart from others. The on-site restaurant serves delectable dishes made with locally sourced ingredients, adding to the overall experience.
Definitely go for their favorites.and.seasonal brews. Paddles for tasting everyone. Great craft beer options in Izu.

Regarding camping. Worst atmosphere leading up to 12 noon to get a camping spot. I can t believe the system they have here. Fellow campers have to race and fight to get a spot in the morning after the bell rings. Wow. I never felt so degraded. After settled down it’s fine but leading up to getting a spot is the worst.
Pitty because I like the beer and the location. I hope they can fix the check in system. It should be so difficult

The beer is good. Snacks looked ok too (no proper food). Just be aware there is no beer garden, but a roof terrace. It doesn’t allow dogs which is just crazy for an outside space. You’re gonna need someone to drive that isn’t drinking.
There is a liquor store near by on the main road that does some great beers and the old woman is really nice. Do society a favor and get some take out beers from her.

The cycle swinger, which was created in April 2023, can be ridden by children as young as 4 years old, and it can be scary until you get used to it.

The Shuzenji Temple is just a stone throw away from the footpath and the historical outdoor onsen. Unfortunately, when we visited the temple there was a group of Chinese tourists talking inadequately loud, yelling and screaming and not behaving at all in a way that other people could enjoy a peaceful atmosphere. So I tried to get away from there without having had the chance to discover the beauty of this place. Very sad.

Banjō Falls is a stunning waterfall that stands at 20 meters tall, located near a campground. It features a picnic area and a unique restroom sculpted into the shape of a beetle. This attraction receives fewer visitors than Joren Falls but is more impressive in its beauty. Upstream from the falls, there is an additional curtain-like waterfall to explore. Banjō Falls offers campsites for those who wish to stay overnight during their visit.

(Translated by Google) It is a beautiful waterfall that looks like a well-thought-out modern architecture. The mouth of the waterfall is made of basalt columnar joints that jut out in an arch shape, the 20m straight waterfall gathers the water of Mt. Amagi and falls powerfully, the bottomless deep clear basin of the waterfall, the carved rock wall that seems to echo the roar of the waterfall, I was amazed at how perfect it was, and I couldn't believe it was done so naturally. In the Seven Words written by Keigetsu Sato written at the entrance to the waterfall, there is a line that says, ``If you go around the rock and face the back, you will hear the echoes of thunder''. Apparently it was possible to see it, and it was also called Urami Falls. It is currently not passable due to the risk of collapse...I wanted to see it.
There is a heart-shaped rock at the foot of the bridge, and there is a photo stand so you can take photos of couples with the waterfall in the background.

(Translated by Google) I had afternoon tea. The price is unbeatable and the content is solid! Plus, wine or grape soda will be provided! wonderful.
Vineyards spread out further below. The atmosphere inside the store. it's the best. You can also tour the winery, and the view from the observation deck is spectacular.
I was sad because there were no leaves in winter 😅

アフタヌーンティーしました。価格も破格ながら内容もしっかり!さらにワインか葡萄ソーダがサービス!素晴らしい。
さらに眼下に広がるブドウ畑。店内の雰囲気。最高です。ワイナリーも見学出来るし展望台からの眺望も圧巻。
冬は葉がなくて寂しかったけど😅

(Translated by Google) Stayed for one night.
It had been renovated and there were some places where I thought it was an old building, but it had everything I needed and I thought it was a good hotel.
The hot springs are also average. I didn't go to the mixed bathing area where you can wear swimsuits, but apparently there is a Jacuzzi-like one.
There's also a sauna, yukata in different sizes next to the front desk, and a wide variety of shampoos and conditioners, so you can put your favorite in a small container and take it with you to the bathroom.
As a man, I'm fine with what I have, but I think women are more picky.
This is the first time I've seen a service like this, but I thought it was very good.
Meals were buffet style both at night and in the morning.
You can also drink wine, but I don't really drink wine, so I didn't really appreciate it.
The food is generally delicious, but there was a stew of chicken that was labeled as green curry, and I expected it to have green curry flavoring, but it was delicious, but I couldn't tell what the flavor was.
That's what caught my attention, and if I have a chance, I would definitely like to visit him again.

一泊しました。
リフォームされていて、所々に古い建物なんだろうなと思われるカ所が散見しましたが、必要な物は全部揃っているし、私としてはいいホテルだと思いました。
温泉もまあ、普通。水着着用の混浴は行かなかったのですがジャグジーぽいのがあるみたい。
サウナもあるし、フロント脇に浴衣のサイズ違いが置いてあるのと、シャンプーとリンスがかなりの種類があり自分の好みの物を小さい容器に入れて浴室に持って行けるとの事です。
男の私は、備えつけの物で十分ですが女性はこだわりがあると思います。
こういったサービスを見たのは初めてですが、とてもいいと思いました。
食事は夜も朝もバイキングスタイルでした。
ワインも飲めるのですが、私はワインは余り飲まないので有難みはあまり感じませんでした。
料理は普通に美味しいですが、グリーンカレーと書かれたチキンの煮込があったのですが、グリーンカレーの味付けを期待したのですが、美味しいけど何だか分からない味付けでした。
気になったのはそれ位で、また、機会があれば是非伺いたいと思います。
Big enough, popular with bikers and family cars alike, clean modern toilets and EV charging.

(¥250-)
So healthy and beautiful.
I hope I would eat them again not so long .

Convenient to stop by and take a break. A few shops selling horseradish infused foods. Accros the road there is a nice place to do a bit of climbing and offers great view of surrounding mountains.

Good location with nice walking around the area.
Good local foods and warm friendly local staff.
Try the wasabi flavored foods like icecream and local meats like wild boar.

The Tokoro-ten with fresh wasabi paste is outstanding:) It's a miraculous marriage.

Very helpful staff. Showed us the way to where we wanted to go.
The Wasabi fields of Ikadaba are a stunning sight, stretching some 800 meters into Suruga Bay and offering a picturesque coastal landscape. This location is popular among photographers for its breathtaking views of Mount Fuji in the distance. Recognized as an UNESCO Global Geopark, the area benefits from fresh spring water flowing from Mt. Amagi, creating the perfect conditions for growing wasabi using traditional methods such as the tatamiishi technique.
Wasabi terrace field in Ikadaba, this portion of a long section of wasabi cultivation was breathtaking. Recognized as an UNESCO Global Geopark, the fresh spring water flowing from Mt. Amagi is the only optimal setting for growing wasabi. If you visit, take your time to enjoy the fresh air and beauty of the delicate wasabi. There is a little offshoot area to pull off your car to, but you can only park for 10 min. Be careful driving here as the roads are very narrow up and down the mountain.
Alex Daniels — Google review
An interesting thing to see if you're really into Wasabi. Beware of some roads leading up to the area (I was going East) as they are narrow for two cars so there is a bit of that stress of having to figure things out every time a car comes from opposite direction.
Valerie Int — Google review
Traditional wasabi cultivation in Shizuoka is a recognized Globally Important Agricultural Heritage System. Here, wasabi is grown sustainably by the “tatamiishi” method that features a piles of rocks and pebbles within a terraced landscape to control water temperature and ensure the adequate flow of spring water down the entire field. The wasabi fields pictured here are relatively large—as you wind up and down the densely forested mountains, you can find smaller fields wherever there is a creek or stream. Unless you have a car or motorbike, this would be a very difficult place to visit. There is a place to park along the roadside for up to 10 minutes, but for most people, this is enough time to take in the views and appreciate the area.

Very cool place to visit! It’s interesting to see the large firefly where all the wasabi is growing. No real parking or stores. Just park on the side of the road.
Kristin P — Google review
Must visit if you’re driving nearby and like nature - the drive to the farms via forest (west road) is also picturesque
Eugene Firsov — Google review
It is nice to see the native growing environment for real wasabi. But you have no chance to get a close look at the wasabi.
Hanjie Mao — Google review
A beautiful place but not very commercialized so don’t expect to buy any wasabi treats and stuff.
Toi Beach is a family-friendly destination with calm waves, making it perfect for a relaxing time by the sea. The beach house offers reasonably priced food and drinks, along with free showers and clean restrooms. While it can get crowded during summer weekends, weekdays are more peaceful. However, some visitors feel that the beach could benefit from better maintenance to keep the water clean and improve facilities for families and children.
nice place. not so crowded but the waves are too high .
Mohannad Alkayem — Google review
The beach looks like abandoned....this is a project that could be done to improve the looking and quality of the town...it doesn't really cost much if you ask an honest Company outside the area to do it.
This is the time to invest in the future of the town.
Alfonso De bartolo — Google review
I brought my Shiba Inu here for the first time in summer. Quiet, peaceful, there is a park next to the beach, restrooms, parking, clean water near the beach, clear water, cool. Unfortunately, the sea view is not so beautiful.
Gift Japan — Google review
It's a nice Beach, but they should invest more on it by blocking the stones and other stuff coming from the river into the Sea, putting a depurative machine to keep clean the water, creating a wooden nice walking pedestrian way with more lights coming from down, some nice massive game for children since many families come in Summer and more public projects.
It seems they are not investing a penny in the town.. wondering where are going all the money...Here you are some example of what renovation you should do.Also, you should develop the other side of the beach with a wooden bridge,walking area and the take care of the stones over there as well. Both sides should be good looking and nice, I don't understand why all the money are spend on other area like Shuzenji and not here...Also a big sign and some nicer and clear sign with written Toi Beach would be good to have at the beginning of the town and close to the beach.

Nice beach even during the off season where you can enjoy the beautiful sunset

How about investing some money in renovating the beach, town, roads, bridges?

(Translated by Google) calm waves
Lots of families. There are no noisy young people, so you can spend a comfortable time. Food and drinks at the beach house are also reasonably priced. Free showers and several clean restrooms.
There is also a changing room. It would be crowded on Saturdays and Sundays during summer vacation, but on weekdays it was perfectly fine! For children over junior high school age, the waves may be a little too calm and unsatisfactory. My son, who is in 1st year of junior high school, said that it would be boring without some waves. However, my husband and I would like to relax and be healed as much as we can, haha.

波静か
家族連れ多し。騒がしい若者いないので心地よく過ごせます。海の家の飲食も良心的なお値段。無料シャワー、数カ所に綺麗なトイレ。
脱衣所も有り。夏休みの土日は、混むでしょうが、平日は、全然大丈夫でした!中学生以上の子どもには、ちょっと波が穏やかすぎて物足りないかも。中1の息子は、もー少し波がないとつまらないかなーと言ってました。が、私たち夫婦は、このくらいのんびり静かに癒されたいです笑笑

(Translated by Google) I went swimming in the sea.
When I went last year, the waves were high, but this time the waves were calm enough for a 4-year-old to float around on a float. I think the waves depend on the weather and tide. The water quality seems to be very muddy, probably due to the sand and the waves that stir it up.
When you enter the sea, there is a zone with many pebbles under your feet, so it is more comfortable to wear water shoes.
There are two streams on the coast, and the children were playing in a loop of sea → river → sea → river → ∞. A sand play set will keep your toddler entertained for a while.
The parking lot costs 1,200 yen and closes at 5 o'clock, so you will be asked to return to your car by 4:30 when you enter.
The showers and changing rooms are convenient and free to use. It can get quite crowded depending on the time of day. I used it after 4pm, but it was empty.
There seems to be a paid bathhouse right next to the beach, but I missed using it this time.
There is no shade on the beach, so it would be a good idea to have a tarp or sunshade. Although it is a little far from the beach, it seems that you can also use the shade of the pine forest. You can carry your luggage to the beach using a carry wagon.
Lifeguards are also available during the swimming season.
I was so grateful to be able to play in the sea comfortably!

海水浴に行きました。
昨年行った時は波が高めでしたが、今回は4歳の子供が浮き輪でプカプカ浮かんで遊べる程度の穏やかな波でした。波は天候や潮次第だと思います。水質は砂と砂を巻き上げる波のせいか濁りが強い印象です。
海に入ると足元に小石が多いゾーンがあるので、ウォーターシューズを履いた方が快適です。
海岸には2箇所小川があり、海→川→海→川→∞のループで子供は遊んでいました。砂遊びのセットがあれば、幼児はしばらく楽しく遊んでくれます。
駐車場は1200円かかり、5時には閉鎖されるので、4:30までに車に戻るよう入庫時に案内してくれます。
水のシャワーや更衣室は無料で使えて便利です。時間帯によってはかなり混みそうです。4時以降に利用しましたが、空いていました。
海岸すぐに有料の浴場もあるようですが、今回は利用しそびれました。
浜辺には日陰がないので、タープやサンシェードがあるといいと思います。浜からは少し離れますが、松林内の木陰も利用出来るようです。浜まではキャリーワゴンで荷物を運べます。
海水浴シーズンはライフセイバーも居ます。
快適に海遊びができてありがたかったです!

(Translated by Google) Toi Beach is a shallow beach with lifeguards on duty so even children can play safely. You can use the toilets, showers, and changing rooms for free. Toi Onsen Maru contains hot springs, so you can warm up your cold body.
Swimming time is until 16:00, but if you don't go far you can swim until around 17:00. Lifesavers will be disbanded at 4pm, so please play at your own risk.

土肥海水浴場は遠浅の海水浴場で、ライフセーバーも居て子供でも安心して遊ぶことができます。トイレやシャワー、脱衣所は無料で利用できます。土肥温泉丸には温泉が入っていて、冷えた体を温めることができます。
遊泳時間は16時までですが、遠くへ行かなければ、17時頃まで泳げます。ライフセーバーは16時で解散するので、自己責任でお遊びください。

(Translated by Google) This is the largest beach in Nishiizu, located in the Toi district of Izu City. Lifeguards are on duty during the summer vacation period, and showers, changing rooms, and lockers are also available. In addition to the beach house, there is a 7-Eleven and Max Value nearby, so you won't have any trouble finding food or drinks.
In order to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus, the installation of a hot spring bath called Toi Onsen Maru, which is a boat turned into a bathtub, has been postponed for the past two years, but it will be revived in 2022. It's a sandy beach, and the water's edge isn't very clear, but if you go a little offshore, you can clearly see the bottom of the ocean!
Nearby is Toi Port, where the ferry that connects with Shimizu Port departs and arrives, and it's a bit surreal to see a large ferry arriving and departing right behind the beachgoers (^_^;)

伊豆市土肥地区にある西伊豆最大の海水浴場です。夏休み期間中はライフセーバーが常駐し、シャワー、更衣室、ロッカーなども設備されています。また、海の家の他、セブンイレブンやマックスバリューが近くにあり、飲食には困りません。
新型コロナウイルス感染症防止の観点から、ここ2年ほど土肥温泉丸と呼ばれる、船が浴槽になった温泉は設置を見送られていましたが、2022年は復活しました。砂浜のビーチで波打ち際は透明度が悪いですが少し沖に出ると海底までキレイに見えます!
近くには清水港とを結ぶフェリーが発着する土肥港があり、海水浴客のすぐ後ろを大きなフェリーが発着する様は、ちょっとシュールですね(^_^;)
