Divers who protect the ocean are cool after all! Hello, I'm Hokule'a Shonan! Today, I'd like to tell you a little bit about what we're working on, Dive Against Yellowtail. The other day, my friends and I dived together into the sea in Shizuura, Shizuoka Prefecture, and dived to collect garbage in the water. Take a look at this group photo taken after the activity! Isn't everyone really cool? The reason we think it's "cool" isn't just how it looks. I hope that we will come to an age where "picking up trash" will be taken for granted and seen as something to be proud of. That's what we have in mind. 🌊 Diving is a special time to connect with the sea. When you dive, you will be soothed by the tranquility and beauty of the water. You will also notice that there is garbage produced by people in the sea. Plastic bags, plastic bottles, pieces of fishing gear... There is also a reality that makes you want to look away. In such a situation, there is something that only divers can do. We believe so. Picking up trash can be sobering. But it's an action to protect the oceans of the future. And don't you think it's very cool? 🪸 Protecting the ocean should be part of the appeal of diving. Protecting the environment isn't just for special people. There are many things that you can feel and do because you are a diver. For those of us who live with the sea, the act of "protecting" is Nature. That may be the image of a "cool" diver in the future. Don't take out trash and pick it up. Both of these are steps towards protecting our oceans. Hokule'a Shonan will continue these activities in the future. If you like the ocean, why don't you start doing something "a little good for the earth" together? #DiveAgainstDebris #OceanConservation #ProtectWhatYouLove #ScubaForChange #DiversForTheOcean #CleanupDive #BluePlanetProtection #SustainableDiving #MarineDebrisAwareness #EcoFriendlyDiver #PADIAWARE #HokuleaShonan

The warm days just keep coming! On days like this, why not visit the Fishway Observation Room, Totoroado? At Totoroado, you can watch fish swimming close by through glass!

One of the charms is that different fish migrate at different times of year🐟✨ It's a great spot for families with children! Be sure to stop by Totoroado and take a look♪

June 16 (Monday): Yukimichi Bookshop on a pop-up visit Starting this month, Yukimichi Bookshop will come to Nishiokoppe Village on the third Monday of each month📖 Until now their pop-ups were often on Wednesdays, so if that timing didn’t work for you, please drop by for a quick look. The location is Pomu. It’s the building between Nishiokoppe Village Office and Kikuchi Shoten that at first glance looks like a private home. Look for the “We’re Open” sign the children made a little while ago. Yukimichi, which has a shop in Shimokawacho, brings a carefully selected range of books from their large stock each time, so we’re excited to see what treasures appear this month! We welcome visitors from the village and neighbors alike. #Nishiokoppe Village #Yukimichi Bookshop pop-up #Shimokawacho #Pomu #June 16 #Third Monday

UKRAINE PAVILION (COMMONS C) Ukraine in wartime. The pavilion is decorated with a "NOT FOR SALE" board. "The exhibits are not for sale, but for the values that we fight for and protect." Each of the blue exhibits symbolizes human values such as "freedom," "dignity," and "toughness." Each has a barcode, and when you read it, instead of displaying the "price", a video is displayed on the monitor and the real "value" of the thing such as "right to education", "freedom of choice", and "right to medical care" is written. I was particularly moved by the blue horse figurine with the word "child" on it. When the barcode is scanned, Video of a stuffed horse stained with blood and children frightened by war is projected. Peace negotiations have been slow to progress. Ukraine's National Day falls on August 5, and we can only hope that a ceasefire will be achieved by then. #EXPO2025 #Osaka Expo #Osaka-Kansai Expo #Ukraine #ukreine #Osaka #osaka
