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! 💙

Shimoda Brewing Company opened this spring about a five-minute walk from Izukyu-Shimoda Station (●´ω｀●).

The brewery is located inside the taproom, so you can enjoy freshly brewed craft beer on the spot—
a luxurious moment in Shimoda.🍺✨

In summer, of course, you can savor it casually; on long autumn nights you can savor its depth, and in the dry winter air a refreshing pint will hit the spot.♬

Beers enjoyed with the seasons each have their own character.
For my craft beer debut that day, I chose “SUNSET,” which has the lowest IBU (bitterness rating).

Its light, crisp profile was perfect for a first glass.

Next time, I’m looking forward to deliberately trying a beer with a higher IBU.

Tasting different beers each season feels like a way to discover the depth of beer.

Inside the venue there are a counter, tables, and a deck.
If you like beer, please drop by (^^)!

Nature Contact Lecture Series at Kawayu Visitor Center
Kawayu Visitor Center will host two lectures in the Nature Contact series.
In October, Tomoko Yoshikawa, Professor Emerita of the Faculty of Agriculture at Tamagawa University, will present “Life in Volcanic Lakes: Ecological Connections of Lake Kussharo.” In December, Mitsuhiro Nakagawa, Researcher and Specially Appointed Professor in the Faculty of Science at Hokkaido University, will give a talk titled “Why Is Lake Kussharo So Shallow? The Secrets of Atosanupuri Volcano Revealed by Recent Research.”


Our region spreads around the Kussharo Caldera, shaped by major volcanic activity. Lake Kussharo, Japan’s largest caldera lake, stands as a symbol of Akan-Mashu National Park and has nurtured a wide variety of life thanks to volcanic bounty.



To take a fresh look at this special lake and share its appeal and origins, we planned these two lectures. First, an exploration of the lake’s connections with its living creatures; second, a clear explanation of volcanic findings uncovered by recent research, delivered gently by each expert.



We hope that encountering the grand natural story behind the familiar landscape of Lake Kussharo will give you a deeper understanding of and pride in the lake and the park.

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.
