The gateway to Izu where digital nomads from around the world gather

Since the COVID-19 pandemic, Izu Shimoda has become a town where many digital nomads from both Japan and abroad have gathered. Izukyu-Shimoda Station, the gateway to the town, is the terminus of the Izukyu Line and is popular with many tourists as the gateway to the southern tip of the Izu Peninsula. The station building is clean and features a design that evokes Shimoda's history and culture, such as the tropical planting of cycads and the ticket gate modeled after a black ship. There is a tourist information center inside the station, which not only distributes maps and tourist brochures, but also sells discount tickets for tourist facilities. In front of the station, there is a foot bath and a model of the black ship "Susquehanna," which will get you in the tourist mood right from the moment you arrive. 😊 There are plenty of souvenir shops and restaurants around the station, and you can enjoy local flavors, especially bento boxes and dried fish made with kinmedai. Bicycle and car rental services are also available, and access to Shimoda city and surrounding tourist destinations is convenient. 🚃 #Domestic Travel Izu Travel #0 Yen Travel
