Jogasaki Coast, Chubu, Japan
4.5 (616 reviews) Spent Ranking #2 in Tokai Bodies of Water • Hiking Trails • Geologic Formations
Breathtaking Jagged Coastline
Jogasaki Coast is on the eastern coast of Izu Peninsula & by the Pacific Ocean. There is a 9km walking trail that is very scenic. Many areas along the trail to stop for taking gorgeous photos. Kadowaki Lighthouse has a free observation deck with nice views of the ocean. A 50 meter high suspension bridge, Kadowaki Cape Suspension Bridge, takes you to some of the jagged cliffs. Definitely a terrific outdoor walking experience. Ample parking with a fee. Small souvenir shop, ice cream stand & convenient bathrooms by the lighthouse.

Beautiful Rocky Coastline
This coastline is easy to access view bus route from Ito station. There is a trail along the coast which is easy to walk and has many great sites. You can see the beautiful coast, the lighthouse, and walk across a suspension bridge all within a couple of hours.

Jogasaki- 上首尾!（jo-shubi)Happy result after the tiring hike
this review covers Jogasaki kaigan/coast and the suspension bridge+ lighthouse of Kadowakizaki : I arrived at the stop which I was not too confident whether I have had alight correctly? I did not see any clear signage, however based on gut feel I just go along till I sense that I should be on the right track! You will be all alone in the hiking trail (hardly anyone goes there on a weekday but that is good, I dislike touristy places) but your eyes are spoilt with beautiful scenes of Pacific Ocean that is not blocked by any architectural buildings, trees of all shapes and sizes especially beautiful pine trees and seasonal plants, insects and animals (if you could stop and observe), lava rock formations... seeing the waves crashing can be quite therapeutic to some... It has so much to offer ONLY if your heart is as vast as the ocean You can sign up for kayaking,fishing or diving etc if time allows, or do a ferry-tour if you prefer not to walk. While it is quite challenging (including climbing lighthouse for me to complete the hike within a span before the next bus will arrive I would recommend at least a 2hour to explore the basics of this coast and the beach (take note of its limited bus timing), try to link here with your tour to Mt Omuro etc, Ito places too!
