Shuzenji / Izu Peninsula day trip questions

Hello,

I want to go to Shuzenji for a day trip from Tokyo. I will be using JR pass but it seems like it doesn't cover trains between Mishima and Shuzenji. How would I be paying for that later part?

As well, what would be some other recommendations in Izu Peninsula that's easy to access by transportation from Shuzenji and then going back to Tokyo? I want a more relaxed day trip but I'm not sure which other places I could go visit besides attractions and onsen in Shuzenji (without getting lost lol).

Atami? Ito? Or maybe some other destination along the way of Tokyo to Shuzenji?

To be fully truthful - you will only really be able to see Shuzenji in a day. It's quite a distance for a day trip.

When you get to Mishima - go out of the train gates and buy a ticket to Shuzenji on the Fuji-Hakone line. Note that it will take a few minutes so if it' a rush don't bother running....

Atami may be a possibility if you want to do more than one place in a day....

Thanks for the reply, I thought 4 hour two-way trip is not too bad if I left a bit early and go back to Tokyo after sunset XD maybe I will get to see sunset in Atami or just sort of walk around Mishima before going to Shuzenji

To view the sunset - you won't see much at Atami or Ito as the sun will set over the hills...

Do note that Mishima can have a nice view of Fuji. I've visited Mishima for a short time and it was not although not spectacular.

Ah I see, then I may as well get off at Atami first and then look around Mishima, get to Shuzenji and go straight back to Tokyo that way :)
