West Izu Skyline - Izu

Nishi-Izu Skyline is a mountain pass that runs along the mountain ridge from Dohi Pass to Funahara Pass. As it runs along the ridgeline, the scenery is open and it feels refreshing to run. The scenery is good, so it is popular not only for cars but also for motorcycles and bicycles. You can climb Mt. Daruma on the way in about 15 minutes.

It is a free road. It's okay to drive around 60-70km, but is it a little tight once in a while? Please be careful as the curve will come. It's a pretty mountain road. When I drove with my friends, a deer appeared. So I feel like I'm careful about animals. First of all, there are some parking lots on the way, but there is no toilet. Please do it first.

It is on the way from Shuzenji to Toda. The scenery is undisputed. There is no congestion at all and you can relax. However, there are no street lights at all Please be careful when driving after sunset.

Nishi-Izu Skyline Nishina Pass If you drive south, there is a parking lot on the left where about 3 to 4 cars can be parked, but be aware that there are quite a few steps on the border between the road and the parking lot. If you climb the mountain for about 10 minutes, you will reach the summit and you can see a 360 ° panorama. Also, at night, you can see a beautiful starry sky with little light pollution, but it may be a little scary until you go ? Those who go at night should be careful about the deer jumping out! ️ Deer are really walking normally ?

This is the first time! ️? The Nishi-Izu skyline was superb ... You can see the cityscape of Toda, Mihama beach, Suruga Bay, and Mt. Fuji ?? There are mountains and the sea, and Izu can be enjoyed wherever you run.

The snowy skyline was beautiful. Snow is removed well, but be careful of freezing of the road surface.

When the weather is nice, the ridgeline of the mountain shines in the blue sky, which is exactly the blue skyline. It is currently a free road. You can see Mt. Fuji and the scenery is perfect. Especially the scenery at sunrise is wonderful. From some observatories, you can also overlook Suruga Bay. The view of the ranch and the plateau from the Nishina Pass Observatory is also recommended. This is the road where Rin Shima ran on a moped in the anime Laid-Back Camp. Rin Shima escaped from Nishi Amagi Ranch toward Darumayama. It ’s one of the famous touring courses in Izu, so Many riders come to run on holidays, but since it is vacant, it can run smoothly. (It's not as crowded as the Izu Skyline.) There are parking lots in some places, but there are no toilets or vending machines. You need to bring your own drinks. Riders take a restroom or break at the Tamayama Rest House parking lot before or after running here. Hikers are rarely walking on the road during the holiday season, so be careful. After heavy rains and typhoons, places where fallen leaves are accumulated, There are places where water comes out from the side of the road, so Riders should be careful not to overspeed. Izu has a warm climate even in winter, but the mountainous areas may be subject to chain restrictions and road closures due to icy roads and snow. It may be difficult to drive where there is a non-slip groove (a flute parallel to the road). If you are worried about snow or road conditions, please use the internet. Access (Numazu Civil Engineering Snow Live Camera Video), I think it is safer to go after checking the road surface conditions of [Toda Pass] and [Funahara Tunnel] near the Nishi-Izu Skyline.

Scenic road. One of my favorite roads that I always take when I come to Izu. There is not much traffic, so you can drive with confidence. The sky at the end of the mountain ridge is very pleasant and is the best place to change your mood. The only unfortunate thing is that the parking lot is not maintained, so depending on the model, you cannot enter the parking lot.
