Located along Route 135, with its eye-catching colorful buildings set against the backdrop of the blue sea, “Michi-no-Eki Ito Marine Town” is the seaside gateway to Ito, where elements of dining, playing, and healing are all condensed into one. Stepping inside, you’ll find a market and restaurants featuring fresh seafood delivered directly from Ito Port. Gourmet dishes with outstanding visual impact, such as the famous “Fisherman’s Zuke-don” (marinated seafood bowl) and mountain-sized “Sakura Shrimp Kakiage” (tempura), never fail to meet the high expectations of visitors. Enjoying local craft beer on the terrace while feeling the sea breeze is a truly luxurious moment that makes you forget your daily routine.
The post-meal options are equally extensive. You can gently soothe your travel fatigue at “Asahi-no-Yu Seaside Spa,” a day-trip hot spring with a panoramic view of the horizon, or at “Attamari-na,” a spacious 43-meter-long free footbath. Additionally, boarding a semi-submersible sightseeing boat allows you to peer into the “Unseen” underwater world beneath the clear waves, promising an adventurous and fun time for both adults and children. With the joy of shopping for souvenirs made from Izu specialties like New Summer oranges and wasabi, this location is more than just a rest area—it is an exciting and special destination where you can spend an entire day without ever getting bored.
