Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Sotoura beach camera live?
Yes. It streams the beach at Shimoda in Shizuoka Prefecture around the clock.
What can you see on this camera?
The colour of the water and the state of the surf, the sky, and the light at dusk.
Is the water at Sotoura calm?
Unusually so for Izu. The mouth of the bay is narrow, which keeps the open-sea swell out, and the water is clear and shallow a long way out.
What sort of town is Shimoda?
The port opened under the 1854 Treaty of Peace and Amity. Perry came ashore here and the first American consulate in Japan was established in the town. The stone-paved Perry Road survives.
