The Beauty of Jogasaki Coast Japan

The Jogasaki Coast, Jogasaki Kaigan in Japanese, is a rugged stretch of dark volcanic cliff coastline on the eastern shore of the Izu Peninsula, southwest of Tokyo and Yokohama. It is part of the Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park and at the same time, part of the Izu Peninsula Geo Park. A hiking path runs along the upper side of the cliff line and offers breathtaking views both onto the cliffs itself as well as out over the Sagaminada Sea (part of the Pacific Ocean) towards Izu Oshima Island. The Izu Peninsula is a very active seismic zone. The most recent volcanic eruption on a scale so enormous that it drastically re-defined the geography of the whole area took place about 4,000 years ago. At that time, molten lava spewing from a crater built up right around its source, all the way up to 580 meters. The result of this build-up is today's Mount Omuro, located a few kilometers behind the Jogasaki Coast. Access - Getting to the Jogasaki Coast: Go to Atami Station in Atami on the JR Tokaido Line or a Kodama train of the Tokaido Shinkansen Line. Change there to the JR Ito Line towards Izukyu Shimoda in Shimoda at the base of the Izu Peninsula. Get off at Jogasaki Kaigan Station.
