Irumi Senjōjiki

Overview

Irumi Senjōjiki is a coastal area facing the Pacific Ocean, located at the southern tip of the Izu Peninsula. Its unique landscape was formed by layers created from a submarine volcanic eruption, gradually eroded by the waves over many years. As it was once used as a quarry for Izu stone (a type of soft stone), traces of artificial quarrying remain. From the walking path, you can simultaneously enjoy the majestic view of the Pacific Ocean and the beauty of the geological layers, truly experiencing the power of nature. The "dykes" exposed at the cliffs of Mitsuishi-misaki are particularly impressive, showing magma rising from underground and cutting through the white volcanic ash layers. Irumi Senjōjiki not only allows you to feel the powerful forces of nature but also lets you sense its history as a former quarry. The walking path is relatively easy to navigate, making it a safe and enjoyable place for families with children. Around Irumi Senjōjiki, you'll find various restaurants serving fresh seafood and souvenir shops. After sightseeing, consider enjoying local cuisine or purchasing some souvenirs.
