The most beautiful columnar joints in Izu overwhelm the viewer. In the Kanto region, it is known as the place where a famous actress shot a commercial.
In the warm Tsumekizaki, daffodils grow wild in winter, and the whole hill looks like a field of daffodils. The small sandy beach, called Ikenodan, a white sandy beach with emerald-green ocean, is reminiscent of a tropical country.

Tsumekizaki Lighthouse
A 17-meter-high lighthouse that stands at the tip of the Suzaki Peninsula, which protrudes from the east coast of the Izu Peninsula. The smart white silhouette that stands in a dignified form is the very image of a lighthouse itself. It has been certified as “lighthouse in love” in 2017.

Tsumekizaki Coast
The white sand beaches and emerald-green waters make you feel as if you have gone to some southern country instead of Japan. On the hill behind it, daffodils bloom all over in winter, and the Daffodil Festival is held there.
