Koibito Misaki

The greatest charm of Koibito Misaki (Lover's Cape) is its beautiful sea and scenery. The main attraction, which can be reached by walking along the promenade, is the observation deck that offers a panoramic view of over 180 degrees. You can see the Suruga Bay and lush green grasslands that spread out before you, and on clear days, you can even see Mt. Fuji in the distance. In particular, the sunset over the sea is a breathtaking sight, so if you have the chance, be sure to visit during sunset hours.

A promenade is maintained up to the observation deck, but towards the end, it becomes a boardwalk named "Hand-in-Hand Road," with the hope that not only couples but also families and loved ones will walk hand in hand. Although it is a path of stairs, a magnificent view awaits at the end, so take your loved one's hand and enjoy a stroll while taking in the views of the Izu sea and scenery, and head towards the observation deck.

"The Golden Bell," also known as the "Bell of Happiness," is installed in a scenic location on the way to the observation deck at the tip of the cape. It was gifted from Guam in 1989 when a sister-city relationship was established with Guam's Lover's Point, which has a "Silver Bell" on display. On clear days, you can see Mount Fuji through the hole in the "Megane Monument" right next to "The Golden Bell," making it a popular spot for photography.

Koibito Misaki is known as a romantic spot for couples and is even used as a photo spot for weddings. The Love Call Bell, located on the observation deck, is said to make love come true if you ring it three times while calling out the name of your beloved. It's a popular love power spot in Izu, bustling with couples and tourists. If you ring the bell and receive a declaration of love certificate from the Koibito Misaki office at the entrance of the promenade, you'll receive various benefits such as a postcard gift, birthday card mailing, and even a congratulatory telegram when you successfully tie the knot.

At the souvenir shop "Koibito Misaki Stella House" located at the entrance of the "promenade," you can purchase the famous "ema" of Koibito Misaki. Write your wishes on the ema and display them. In addition, there is a limited quantity of pudding called "Kimi Dake Pudding" made only with egg yolks. It uses fresh milk and eggs produced in Izu, and has a rich taste. Please try it as a memory of your visit to Koibito Misaki in Izu.
