From Tokyo: Private Day Trip to Izu & Shimoda, Shizuoka

Travel from Tokyo to the scenic Izu Peninsula and Shimoda on this full-day private tour by private vehicle, with an English-speaking guide. The day begins near Ito at a rugged coastal park with dramatic cliffs, walking trails, and Pacific Ocean views along the Jogasaki Sea Wall. Continue to a botanical garden known for cacti, animal encounters, and views toward Mount Fuji, then ride the ropeway up Mt. Omuro, a dormant volcano with a walkable crater rim and panoramic views of the Izu landscape. The route then heads south to Shimoda, where Shirahama Beach is prized for its soft white sand and clear water, with nearby hot-spring resorts for relaxation before the drive back. Given the distance from Tokyo, the day includes roughly six hours of driving in total, and pickup from your Tokyo accommodation can be arranged on request. With private transportation for the whole day, the itinerary can be adjusted within the allotted time to suit your interests.
