Hello, I'm Minamoto. Shosenkyo Gorge is growing warmer day by day, and the cherry blossom season has arrived! Many people walking outside are already wearing short sleeves. What I recommend this time is a one-way trekking route of about 3 km! This season feels wonderful and is perfect for walking! First, park your car in the prefectural parking lot and stroll along the promenade. Walk slowly while taking in the granite rock faces, strange rock formations, and the flowing river... The whole Shosenkyo area is a power spot, with a "dragon vein" of energy flowing from Mt. Fuji that purifies your mind and body!!! After your walk, enjoy shopping and dining in the Takinoue area and along Crystal Street. Shosenkyo is a nature-rich spot about a 25-minute drive from JR Kofu Station, making it an easy visit from Tokyo. If you have the time, please come to Shosenkyo to recharge your energy! We look forward to seeing you.

[Making a map by diving!? ] 】 I've been trying to make a map under Water! 🧭🌊 Hello! Yesterday, I had a rare diving course at the popular diving Spot "Fukuura Beach" on the Manazuru Peninsula in Kanagawa Prefecture! The theme this time is..."Making a map in Water"! This is done as part of the "PADI Divemaster Course" aimed at the professional level, but many people are 🗺😊 surprised by how you draw a map when diving On this day, the surface of the water was a little wavy due to the wind, but it was very calm in the water and the transparency was good. In such a quiet sea, I took on the challenge 🧭 of drawing a map while observing the terrain This "Water Map" is one of the steps required to become a PADI Divemaster and is a practical content that tests a variety of skills such as compass navigation, buoyancy control, observation, and teamwork. Using a compass and dive computer, you will measure the direction, depth, and distance to complete ✏️ the Original map Before the course, the participants seemed anxious about whether they would be able to do it properly, but as soon as they actually started, they went into concentration mode. It's a little difficult to read the terrain while maintaining buoyancy, but the navigation skills I learned in the AOW course were put to good use, and it was ☺️ a fun time to feel my growth ---------------------------- 🌟 A diving course aimed at becoming a professional is actually interesting! Hokule'a Shonan offers a "Professional Course" to acquire Divemaster (DM). The word "professional" may seem like a high hurdle, but the course will be carefully supported according to each person's level and pace, so even those who are not confident in their skills can take it with confidence! Currently, many people are participating in the DM Course, and they are ✌️ having fun improving their skills while working hard with their friends If you want to learn more deeply, convey the charm of the ocean, or aim to become an instructor in the future, please take a step forward. Hokule'a Shonan is a PADI 5 Star IDC Center and also Held in Instructor Courses ✨ It's OK even if it's an extension of your hobby! If you are interested, please feel free to contact us 😊 ---------------------------- 📅 You can also make a reservation the day before! It is an environment where you can easily dive. At Hokule'a Shonan, if there is a vacancy in the schedule, it is possible to participate in diving by making a reservation the day before! "Vacation suddenly" or "My schedule has changed and I have free time", please feel free to contact us.
