#237 Izu Peninsula east side

Shizuoka

Driving through east coast of Izu peninsula.

Ebisu Island (えびす島) in Shimoda, located on the southern tip of the Izu Peninsula near the Susaki Peninsula, is a small, accessible island reachable via a bridge, offering unique geological formations, a small shrine, a lighthouse, and excellent snorkeling opportunities. It was getting dark and no time to explore the island in this trip.

Ito Port serves as a marine access point. Ito is a picturesque resort town nestled between mountains and the sea and full of hot springs just like Atami.

The Ozashiki Culture College (Ito Onsen Ozashiki Bunka Daigaku), run by the Ito Onsen Tourist Association, offers educational courses focused on traditional Edo-period culture, particularly ozashiki-asobi (geisha parlor games and entertainment). It features multiple departments and courses designed to teach visitors and locals about these traditional art forms.　

The architecutre itself is worth looking.
