[2025 Nishiizu Attraction] Travel Guide for Koganezaki Park (Updated Apr)

Koganezaki Park in Nishiizu!!! It's the best place to go and watch the sunset! The people there were overwhelmed by the romantic atmosphere. As the sun went down, the surrounding scenery changed color, and it was a place you never got bored of looking at. I was really impressed the whole time, wondering if it was really okay to see this for free! It's also a great place for families with dogs, as it's okay to bring your dog! #ShizuokaTourism #Izu #GoingOutWithDog

Koganezaki in Nishiizu is a spectacular spot known as the "golden cape" because of the beautiful rock surface dyed in the sunset! Especially at dusk, the entire area shines orange, creating an impressive landscape. 🌅 There is also a literary monument here with a passage from the novel "Beast Play" by the writer Yukio Mishima engraved on it, which shows how he was fascinated by the scenery of this area. Why not spend a memorable time at Koganezaki, which is full of the charm of nature and literature? 📍Location: Ukusu, Nishiizu-cho, Kamo-gun, Shizuoka Prefecture #0 yen trip February 2025

"Koganezaki Park" is located in Nishiizu, Shizuoka Prefecture. This place is the best sunset scenic spot in Nishiizu, and is an observation park with "Horse Rock", which was selected as one of the 100 strange rock formations 🌅 It was named "Koganezaki" because the rock surface shines golden when illuminated by the setting sun, and the yellowish light brown rock surface was created when the rock was transformed by hot spring water 🥸 But... the more you look at it... it's a horse 🐴 It looks so much like a horse, it's truly "Horse Rock"! It is also a sacred place where horse racing fans visit to pray for good luck! ※It is said to be a power spot that increases your luck in games🫢 The way the horse looks and its expression seems to change depending on the angle and the sunlight, so I would like to visit it at sunset next time😌 There are also walkways and observation decks, so it is a wonderful scenic spot where you can enjoy not only "Uma Rock" but also Mt. Fuji and Suruga Bay✌️ -————————————— [Access🚃🚌] From "Shuzenji Station" on the Izu Hakone Railway Sunzu Line Take the Tokai Bus bound for "Matsuzaki" and get off at "Koganezaki Crystal Park" → Total time about 75 minutes ※We recommend going by car! -————————————— #summertrip #ShizuokaPrefecture #IzuPeninsula #IzuTrip #NishiIzu #KoganezakiPark #UmaRock #SunsetScenicSpot #OceanView #Geopark #100StrangeRocks #SurugaBay #Observatory #CameraTrip #SingleLensReflex #canoneosx9i #ILoveTravel #ILoveTravel #CutOutWorld #TravelingJapan #WhereShallIGoNext #japan #japantravel #100TravelStyles #Park2024
