【Spring diving in Nishi-Izu and Ida】 Surrounded by the sea and smiles in 🌸 the cheerful weather|Hokule'a Shonan Hello! Invited by the soft sunlight of Spring, I went 😊 diving in Ida in Nishi-Izu, Shizuoka Prefecture This day is truly a diving day! It was warm enough to spend time in short sleeves on land, and the beautiful blue of the sea and sky called Ida Blues healed my heart. This time, we were divided into two teams, [Divemaster Training] and [Fun Diving], and enjoyed their time at sea. In the training team, candidates aiming to become professionals worked hard to improve their skills by practicing with serious expressions. On the other hand, the fun dive team took a leisurely walk in the water. We spent 🌊 a pleasant time surrounded by the calm sea unique to Spring On this day, guests came from various regions such as Poland, Tokyo, and Kanagawa. At Hokule'a Shonan, we provide polite support in small groups, so even first-time visitors can participate with confidence. "Let's embark on a journey into a world we have not yet seen through diving." What Hokule'a Shonan values is not just diving, but also the splendor of the sea, the comfort of coming into contact with nature, and we hope to help you discover a new self.

Hidden Cherry Blossom Spots in Kuwanochi 🌸 Yesterday, Monday, April 7, the weather turned warm with a gentle breeze and clear skies☀️ It was truly a perfect day for hanami🌸🍡 When people think of cherry blossoms in Gokasecho, the Sanga area is especially famous, but Kuwanochi also hides some lesser-known blossom spots😌✨ Photos 1–3 show the cherry trees you see on the left just before you reach the top of the hill where the road from National Route 218 turns toward Yuhinosato Bridge and meets Prefectural Route 8📸 Two large, pale-pink cherry trees stand between tea fields and a vast blue sky stretching as far as the Aso caldera🌸 It’s the kind of serene satoyama landscape that takes your breath away🥹✨ This place seems to be a well-kept secret with many devoted fans🤭💕 Photos 4–5 show the cherry tree by a private house you’ll find right after descending the lane beside the fire station along Prefectural Route 8📸 A magnificent weeping cherry stands out against a carpet of rapeseed flowers at its feet and the bright blue sky behind it. It’s a vivid, springlike scene🤗✨ Beside it, vivid purple magnolia blooms in profusion, making this spot a joyful celebration of spring🤩 Finally, photos 6–8 show the cherry at Koshoji Temple📸 You have to view it from a bit of a distance to take in the whole tree — it’s very large😳✨ The pure white petals contrast beautifully with the red-and-white mottled camellias planted in front. The sight is stunning and powerful; this cherry tree is well worth a visit🙏💡 That brings us to the entrance of Kuwanochi and ends the cherry tree tour for now😌 Please tell us about your favorite cherry trees too✨ A note on the private houses I featured: these are private properties, so when viewing, please do not enter yards or make loud noises. Observe good manners to avoid bothering neighbors🙇‍♀️ Now, rain is forecast for this Thursday — will the blossoms be gone then? 🥲 It’s a little sad, but that fleeting beauty is part of their charm🫶 Cherry-blossom showers are poetic; let’s enjoy them to the fullest while they last🌸
