City Guide
Itō, Shizuoka, Japan
Overview
Itō is a picturesque coastal city located on the Izu Peninsula, famous for its natural hot springs (onsen), scenic coastline, and lush mountainous surroundings. Its blend of traditional ryokan inns and modern resorts makes it a relaxing getaway with authentic Japanese charm.
Best Time to Visit

Local Tips
Purchase a day-pass for local trains to explore the Izu Peninsula affordably. Many onsens allow day visitors, but bring a small towel and check etiquette before entering.
Cultural Etiquette
Tipping is not customary in Japan. Dress modestly in public areas and follow bathing etiquette at onsen by washing thoroughly before entering the baths.

Itō is generally very safe, but take care near coastal cliffs and during typhoon season (especially July-September). Always check official advisories before hiking or swimming.
Hidden Gems
Discover the lush Jogasaki Coast trail with its dramatic cliffs and suspension bridge. Visit the lesser-known Tokaikan, a beautifully preserved historical ryokan in the city center.
