Izukyu is a 45km line that runs along the east coast of the Izu Peninsula, located on the east side of Shizuoka Prefecture.
This video includes a 30km cab view from Izukyu Shimoda Station at the southern end of this line to Izukogen Station. I apologize for the fact that the window is slightly dirty and the video is not 4K.
The Izu Peninsula was known as a resort area with hot springs everywhere, but the development of transportation systems was slow due to the mountainous terrain that approaches the coastline, and the opening of the Izukyu Line in 1961 was greatly welcomed by people along the line.
One of the features of this line is that it has been built wide enough to accommodate long train formations, in anticipation of the large number of sightseeing trains that will be running on the line once it opens.
Another feature is that there are many tunnels. This video shows the inside of the tunnel, the time of the train stopping at the station, and the sections where the tunnels are continuous. However, it is 28 minutes long, so please take your time and watch it.
The first half runs through the mountains in the southern part of the Izu Peninsula. Although it is called a mountain, it is not very high, and it is completely covered with trees, making it a very Japanese-style mountain.
In the middle of the video, the train hits the coastline. The section before and after Katase Shirata Station is the highlight of this line. Although not visible in the cab view, this is a section where we can see several islands in the distance.
In the second half of the video, the train travels through a plateau area. The word KOUGEN, which is also in the station name, means Highland. Highland is located in Izu, so the name of the station is Izu Kogen.
Aaah. It is certainly a route with many tunnels!
However, it is a fun route to ride. If you have a chance to travel this railway, be sure to enjoy the sea view. I recommend taking a seat facing the east window.
