Kumomi Coast

Travel / Tourism

Shizuoka Pref. Kamogunmatsuzakichou Kumomi

This coast with a head-on view of Mt. Fuji is popular for its beautiful scenery, for its seashore footbaths, and for the Akaihama open air baths located a walking distance away. These hot springs are great because you are allowed to wear swimsuits, meaning that if you get cold you can jump straight in and warm up. Note that while there are showers and toilets, there are no changing rooms or other beachside facilities, so prepare ahead of time.

The spring water is calcium sodium sulfate and is said to be effective for cuts, burns, chronic skin diseases, and arteriosclerosis.

西伊豆観光に行った際によった温泉です。海岸線にあるいくつかの露天風呂が4月初めだとオープンしていないので、こちらに伺いました。まぁ銭湯と言った感じで、そんなに広く無く、たまたまほぼ貸し切りでしたが、夕方などだとちょっと厳しそうな感じです。露天は景色が見えずかなり微妙でした。湯温はぬるく感じたので39℃以下と思います。個人的にはヌルメが好きなので、これはこれで良かったです。

半世紀前から近年まで、夏場の伊豆は、どこも観光客でごった返し、特にこの白浜は、海岸の混雑は半端ではなかったです。一本道の道路は、車の渋滞だけでなく、道を横断する人の多さで進めないほどの人気でした。観光客や訪問者をお客様という意識に欠けているのがこの地の特徴と思います。年代は変わってきたものの、培われた精神構造は引き継がれています。観光に携わる方々の中には、親切丁寧をモットーに応対している人も増えて...

The retro-style tile bathtubs are large enough to hold 15 people, and guests can relax and imagine that they’re at a neighborhood public bath.

県道120号沿いにあります。飛ばしていると見落としがちになります。まるで銭湯のような入口を入ると、小さいながらもロビーが。雰囲気も建物の古さもいかにも地元の公衆浴場的ですが、完全禁煙なのは助かります。脱衣所は狭いですがこの日は私たち以外にお客はいませんで貸し切り状態。混むシーズンは避けたいですね。浴槽は中型が一つとシンプルです。洗い場も6か所程度で多くありません。泉質は無色透明で柔らか...

Shizuoka Kamo-gun Matsuzakicho Kumomi 387

This museum is located about a 120-minute drive from Numazu Interchange on the Tomei Expressway via National Route 136. It exhibits one of the few skeletal specimens of a North Pacific right whale in the world. The immature whale, which beached itself in Kumomi Port in 1977, was 11.5 meters long and weighed 22 tons at the time of its death. Efforts were made to save the whale, as there are only a few thousand North Pacific right whales left in the wild, with most of them in the southern hemisphere. However, these attempts ultimately proved futile and the whale was preserved as a skeletal specimen after it died of emaciation. Other exhibits at the museum include the equipment used in the fishing of tengusa (red algae), a specialty of Kumomi Port.

伊豆一周う。ドライブの際に寄った博物館。昔、この雲見の港に迷い込み死亡したセミクジラの骨格が展示されています。かなり大きな標本です。他には基本は写真やパネル展示でクジラの生態等が解説されています。オープンは金-月の間ですが、観覧者がいないと施錠されていますので、入口にあたる観光案内所の方へに行っ開けてもらうと良いでしょう。海岸線の136号線沿いにありますが観光案内所がいきなり出てき...

This sushi shop located approximately seven minutes on foot from Izu-Inatori Station is a famous shop that has been serving up kinmedai (red bream) nigiri sushi for over 30 years. Starting with the local Inatori kinmedai which is said to be particularly high quality even among Izu kinmedai, they also source wild local fish such as buri (yellowtail), hirame (flounder) and madai (another type of red sea bream) from a fishmarket that is within close walking distance. When the surface of the kinmedai is quickly seared, it takes on an exquisite taste that allows one to experience both the sweetness of the fat and the umami flavor. Enjoying sushi as a set with arajiru (fishhead soup made with kinmedai) is also popular.

Shizuoka Areas

With the giant Pacific Ocean to the south and the great Mount Fuji to the north, Shizuoka prefecture is blessed with some of the best views the country has to offer. The white sand beaches of the Izu Peninsula are a rare find on mainland Japan, neighbored by beautiful cliffs, tumbling hills, and natural hot springs. As Japan’s largest producer of green tea, the age-old tradition of tea drinking is ubiquitous in Shizuoka, from the miles of tea fields to the old tea houses hosting traditional tea ceremonies.
