Ushiku Great Buddha ✋👌 in Ibaraki Prefecture
It was an overwhelming presence!

I went ✨️ to Ibaraki Prefecture to see the First sunrise
It was 🌅 very beautiful

This is a photo taken when I went to Urayama Dam with my family.

It was when I went to treasure climbing with my family.
The view from the Observation decks was ✨ very beautiful
The Okumiya shrine of the Treasure Mountain Shrine was also somewhat mysterious, and the rich Nature was very soothing.

This is a photo of when I went to Moominvalley Park in Chichibu with my family.

To Nishi-Izu and Tago! Boat Diving Report 🌊⛵️ on a Sunny Sunday in Autumn

Hello, this is 😊 Hokule'a Shonan
The other day, we went boat diving to the popular area "Tago" in Nishi-Izu! ⛴️✨

Speaking of Tago, it is a diving spot with a wide variety of terrain and highly transparent waters. There is also good Access that can be reached on a day trip from Kanto, and it is 🙌 an area that is often requested in Hokule'a Shonan

The first one this time is the point of the open sea, "Floating Shimane off the coast".
This is one of the longest places for divers, and when you dive, you will see a spectacular fish shadow 🐟🐟🐟 in front of you!
Snapdragons and squirrels flocked and danced 🎆 like fireworks in the sea
The sight that covers one aspect of the scene will take your guests breath away ✨

And the second is to the mysterious cave point 🕳️🤿 that represents Tago.
As you walk through the Gari, the light shining in from the end of the water channel shines in fantastically, as if you have jumped 🎬💫 into a scene from a movie
The scenery of light and shadow touches my heart no matter how many times I visit. That's the real thrill of "cave diving"!

On this day, the guests who participated in the yellowtail for the first time in a long time were with us, and the calm way of diving without feeling blank was really wonderful 😀👏

And next time, it's finally the 150th dive 🎉✨ that will be memorable for the guest! Spending time thinking about "where to dive" together is also an important pleasure 💕 of diving life

There is a to 🙏🌺 everyone who participated
On a pleasant sunny autumn Sunday ☀️🍂, surrounded by the best sea and smiles, we were able to share a happy time.

Hokule'a Shonan Held in 🚤🏝️ tours not only in the vicinity of Kanagawa but also in various areas such as Nishi-Izu, Higashi-Izu, and Izu Oshima Island
If you would like to try boat diving or cave diving, or if you would like to welcome a commemorative dive in a special place, please feel free to contact us 🤗✨

We look forward to working with you on your precious moments with peace of mind and reliable support! 💙

About a 5-minute walk from Izukyu Shimoda Station, this year's Spring "Shimoda Brewing blue Company" has opened (● ́ω'●)

Brewery is located in the store, and you can enjoy freshly brewed craft beer on the spot.
It's 🍺✨ a luxurious time in Shimoda

Not only in summer, but also in the long nights of autumn, you can enjoy ♬ a cup of depth and a cup of thirst in the dry air of winter

Thereare beers enjoyed with the four seasons have their own expressions.
On this day, as a craft beer debut, we selected "SUNSET" with the lowest IBU (bitterness value).

The light and refreshing mouthfeel was suitable for the first cup.

Next time, it is fun to dare to try a cup with a high IBU Traditional Japanese straw raincoat.

I feel that by layering different cups for each season, you can experience the depth of beer.

Thereare inside the store there are counters, tables and decks.
If you like beer, please stop by (^^)!

For this Autumn Kiln Tour, alongside Unshū Kiln’s staple vessels, you will see works using the vivid red cinnabar (shinsa) pigment, a color believed since the Jomon Period to ward off evil.

Also noteworthy are charming pieces inspired by Amakusa sea urchins. They appeared a few years ago and have returned for this Autumn Kiln Tour after a long absence.

During the exhibition the kiln will sell succulents including cacti, and offer painting-on-ware experiences. Please drop by—unexpected encounters and discoveries await you.
