Attractions in the western Izu area - Area C

Area C has lovely little beaches along the rias coastline, having Bonsai-like tiny islands covered with pine trees. From the headlands there, it allows visitors to enjoy a distant view of Mt.Fuji or the sunset across the water on a clear, sunny day. Walking trails are provided along the coastline with scenic views, with 2- or 3-hour strolls.

Since the public transport available in this area is only buses, much fewer people visit this area than in area A. This area has economical inns (Minshuku) in quiet surroundings, offering a hot spring retreat and a fresh seafood dinner/breakfast.
