information |
The coastline of Dogashima in Western Izu is famous for its dramatic stone formations, cliffs and caves, formed by the lava flow of past volcanic eruptions and the erosion by the sea.
The best way to see the coast is from constantly departing sightseeing boats, which briefly enter one of the large caves along the way. The cruise takes about 20 minutes and costs 920 Yen. Longer cruises are also available.
Not far from the boat pier is the Sawada Koen Rotemburo (Sawada Park Open Air Bath), a cliff side hot spring bath with beautiful views over the ocean. The bath is gender separated, closed on Tuesdays (except during the summer holidays) and costs 500 Yen admission.
