Jogasaki Coast & Kadowaki Suspension Bridge
城ヶ崎海岸・門脇吊橋
Jagged cliffs formed where lava from Mount Omuro flowed into the sea and was carved by waves. The 23-meter-high Kadowaki Suspension Bridge spans a sea-carved gorge, and crossing it is thrilling.
Jogasaki Coast was formed when lava from an eruption of Mount Omuro about 4,000 years ago flowed into Sagami Bay and was sculpted by the waves into cliffs and columnar joints stretching about 9 km. It is a representative site of the Izu Peninsula Geopark. The Kadowaki Suspension Bridge is about 48 meters long and about 23 meters above the sea. Walking across it, you can see waves crashing against the rocks below. Beside it, Kadowaki Lighthouse has an observation deck. The Nature Study Trail along the coast is about 9 km long and can take you to Futo or Izu Marine Park. Admission is free. From Jogasaki-Kaigan Station on the Izukyu Line, it is about a 20-minute walk.
