Tokyo to Izu Oshima
... black landscape, beneath the volcano. This is where the cult monster films, Godzilla, are filmed.
Back on the road, we headed to the south east corner to see Habuminato, a bay made out of a flooded caldera with only an ancient volcanic plug sticking out of the sea.
Further around we came across Chisu Setsu Danmen, a roadside cutting with a geological cross-section that bears witness to at least 100 ...
Japan moto trip (Izu Skyline)

Check out the pictures, no not because of me, you won't see me naked, but because of the sunset. It's worth it. Its until today my most favourite place to enjoy sunsets.
