The coast faces west and north-west, so sunset views are the main draw, and from Toi and Heda Mt Fuji can appear above the water to the north on clear days. It is a long way off, so it looks smaller than from the Fuji Five Lakes.
Many inns here are small, seafood-focused ryokan, and several offer reservable private baths or rooms with their own open-air bath facing the sea.
