Located on the south of Ito, Jogasaki Coast 城ヶ崎海岸 is a gigantic lava rock coast with a magnificent formation spanning about 9 kilometres. It was formed by the erosion of the ocean waves into the rock, after the volcanic eruption of Mt. Omuro 大室山 4000 years ago.

There is a large parking lot (500 yen per entry) at the park and after a short walk one would reach a hiking trail and the Kadowaki Lighthouse 門脇灯台. You can walk up to the observation deck at the lighthouse to look at the Izu Shichito Islands 伊豆七島 during a good day.

Further along the trail one would reach the Kadowaki Suspension Bridge 門脇吊橋. Spanning 48 metres in length, it is one of the most famous sightseeing spots in Izu. Apart from the really beautiful scene one can also immerse in the vegetation and trees around.
