About this site
Cape Iro sits at the southern tip of the Izu Peninsula in Shizuoka Prefecture, on Japan's Chubu coast where the peninsula juts into the Pacific. This stretch is known for its rocky, exposed headland shaped by ocean swell coming in from the open sea. Dive operations along the Izu Peninsula's southern coast are typically based in nearby fishing towns.
