My ichiban favourite place in Japan is the village of Heda on the western coast of the Izu Peninsula in Shizuoka-ken. On a clear day you can look out across the fishing boats to the sandspit beach and in the distance see Fujisan towering up into the sky. Heda is very isolated and all of the three roads in are spectacular. I believe that until the 1970's the only way to get to Heda was by sea. It is also known for its giant crabs.
