Izu Cote d'Azur
Iwachi Beach, located in Matsuzaki on the western Izu Peninsula, is renowned for its clear waters and white sandy shore, often referred to as the "Izu Côte d'Azur" due to its scenic beauty and the orange roofs of nearby houses. The beach is family-friendly, offering calm waters ideal for swimming and snorkeling, with facilities such as restrooms and showers available. During the summer, a unique boat-shaped hot spring bath is set up on the beach, enhancing the seaside experience.
