A sightseeing boat used for a 20-minute-cruise looks exaxctly like a U.S. gunboat ship when the United States demanded Japan to open to the world in mid 19th century. It starts from Shimoda Port every day from 9:10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

Fare: 1000 yen for adult, 500 yen for children 12 or under.

Irozaki is the southernmost promontory of Izu Peninsula. It is actually located in Nishi-Izu neighboring town of Shimoda. It is about 40 minutes' bus ride from Izukyu Shimoda station.
