About This Destination

Shimoda is a historic port at the southern tip of the Izu Peninsula where Commodore Perry's Black Ships arrived in 1854 to open Japan to the world. The town preserves this pivotal moment in history while offering beautiful beaches, scenic walking paths along dramatic coastline, and the relaxed atmosphere of a Japanese seaside town. Hot springs, fresh seafood, and the subtropical climate make Shimoda a popular escape from the cities just a few hours north.
