Irozaki Lighthouse after Sunrise

Located atop cliffs on the southernmost extremity of the Izu Peninsula, the lighthouse is a short walk from Irozaki Ocean Park.

Although I drove to this site, you can access the cape via public transportation. From Izukyu-Shimoda Station on the Izu-Kyuko Line, take a 40-minute Tokai bus ride from the station to Irozakiko Bus Stop, which is located right in front of the Irozaki Ocean Park visitor center.

Even on an overcast morning, the cape offers grand views of the beautifully sculptured Izu coastline and views of several islands that are only a few kilometers off the coast.
