Encountering Japan's summer after the sea, a special day spent at the Shonan Hiratsuka Tanabata Matsuri 🎋 About an hour by train from Tokyo. In Hiratsuka, located in Kanagawa Prefecture's Shonan area, the entire town is adorned with colorful Tanabata decorations every summer. "Shonan Hiratsuka Tanabata Matsuri." Known as one of Japan's three major Tanabata festivals, it is a summer tradition. Gigantic Tanabata decorations fill the streets. People in yukata. The summer town shifts from dusk to night. A nostalgic atmosphere flows, reminiscent of a scene from a movie. However, the charm of Hiratsuka is not just the festival. Close by, there is a beautiful sea. The crystal-clear blue sea, surprisingly clear for being near Tokyo. Colorful fish swim around. Soft corals sway gently. In the morning, dive into the sea world. And in the evening, immerse yourself in a Japanese summer festival. This is the allure of the Shonan area, where you can spend such a special day. Diving is not just about entering the sea. It's about feeling the local atmosphere, walking through the town, meeting people, and experiencing Japan's seasons. The time spent after the sea also becomes an important part of the journey's memories. This year's "Shonan Hiratsuka Tanabata Matsuri" is scheduled to be held from July 3rd to 5th. Discover another Japan that you won't find just by sightseeing in Tokyo. Experience the summer of Japan that unfolds beyond the sea. 🌈At Hokule'a Shonan, we offer small-group diving tours in the seas near Tokyo. Beginners and solo participants are also welcome.
