✨ The mysterious blue Squid spawning season has arrived ✨ From Spring to summer, the drama of life unfolds in the sea. 🌸🌊 From April to June, this season is the spawning season for blue Squid. It is a precious time to encounter a special sea scene that will remain in your heart "Only now". The first time I experienced diving was just during the spawning season of this blue Squid. 🦑 Swimming softly in the water, and a silent ritual to connect lives. I even now remember being overwhelmed and gasping for breath at the mystery of the sea. The female of the blue Squid is escorted by the male, At the base of seaweed, in the crevices of corals, and in the spawning beds set up by fishery cooperatives, Eggs that look like white pearls are carefully laid one by one. 🤍 Its appearance is fantastic, yet somehow ephemeral. There are males who swim alone. It is a male whose courtship did not come true. Under the straightforward instinct of connecting lives, a quiet "choice of life" is taking place in the sea. 🐚 Having finished laying eggs, the female finishes her role and quietly closes her life. When you witness the moment of "risking your life to connect your life", the back of your chest gradually warms up. You will be deeply moved by the great power and mystery of the sea. 🏝️ At Hokule'a Shonan, we carefully guide you to the spawning scene of blue Squid unique to this season every year. Because of the small number of people, we deliver a "sea experience" that you can observe closely. 📷 That atmosphere, that quiet impression that cannot be conveyed by photographs. Please try it out in Water. And so that first-timers and those with blanks can participate with peace of mind, The instructor will support you 💁 ♂️💁 ♀️ 🌿 At this time of year, when the water temperature and transparency begin to stabilize, it is ideal for diving. 🌊 A special Impression that you can never experience on land awaits you. Why don't you go and see the "baton of life" unfolding in the sea together? The once-in-a-lifetime story of the blue Squid will surely remain deep in ✨ your heart #VisitJapan #KanagawaTravel #ManazuruDiving  #ExploreJapan #ScubaDivingJapan #HokuleaShonan #TokyoDayTrip #JapanNature #OceanAdventure #TravelToJapan #JapanBeachLife #DiscoverJapan #HiddenGemsJapan

I photographed school plants.

When I was walking down the street, I suddenly caught my eye, so I took a picture. By taking pictures of flowers that I don't usually look at so closely, I was able to understand the delicacy of these flowers.

It is a water puddle that I found without realizing that it has rained recently. It seems to be everywhere, and I thought that there were not many people who could take pictures of it, so I posted it.

I took a first-person view of a school plant from an insect's point of view.

"The landscape of Japan that has been passed down from generation to generation" is "Kagefuji" When it comes to Mount Fuji, I think most climbers are looking for the light. However, I am more attracted to this evening's shadow Fuji than to the coming light. The shadow of Mount Fuji, one of the symbols of Japan, can only be seen by climbing. And the biggest shadow in No.1 in Japan! It is the shadow Fuji in the evening seen from the 8th station of the Mount Fuji Yoshida route, Elevation of about 3400 meters. Scene of the shadow of Mt. Mount Fuji gradually extending. September 10, 2023 16:44~17:53

At Kawagoe Kumano Shrine. Even though it was October, there were strips of Tanabata decorations. Among them, a strip of paper called "World Peace" caught my eye, so I took a picture of it. It is precisely because of this era of wars and conflicts that the culture of Tanabata of praying may be ingrained in our hearts. Because Japan is a country that has learned greatly from past wars, I pray that Japan will not be involved in a war.

Young bamboo of "Chishimazasa". In areas where there is a lot of snow, the roots bend under the weight of the snow when the shoots of Chishimazasa grow, so it is called "Nemagari bamboo", and in Shinano Town, it is called "Bamboo shoot". In Shinano Town and other areas, it is often eaten as [Bamboo shoot soup]. Bamboo shoot and miso soup with potatoes, etc. Bamboo shoot soup is essential: canned mackerel (boiled in water) Canned mackerel in miso soup!? If you don't like it, please give it a try. I'm surprised at how delicious it is (^^ ♪ You don't need to remove lye, but please remove the hard knots and puff before eating.
