From Itō, Izu Kyūkō runs from Itō station (¥1570, one hour). Trains also run from Atami (¥1890, 1½ hours). Try to catch Izukyū’s Resort 21 train cars, with sideways-facing seats for full-on sea views.

South and west, transit is by bus to Dōgashima (¥1360, one hour) or Shuzen-ji (¥2180, two hours).
