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

Thinking about the future of the oceans and what we can do on World Environment Day Hello, this is 🌊 Hokule'a Shonan June 5 is World Environment Day 🌏 For those of us who face the sea every day and work to deliver the charm of the sea, This is a special day with a very important meaning. When you hear the word "environmental issues," you may feel that it is a distant story. Issues that should be addressed by the government and companies, and what experts should consider It's easy to think like that. The truth is that environmental issues do not belong to "anyone" but to each of us. For example, straws and plastic shopping bags from convenience stores that you used casually. Even if you think you have thrown it away properly, it will be blown away by the wind and washed away by the rain. Thereare you may end up in the sea. As a result, more and more plastic waste continues to grow in the ocean. If we don't do anything, It is said that 😢 by 2050, the amount of plastic in the ocean will exceed the amount of fish And the fish that accidentally ate the plastic died, Sea turtles are dying, whales are dying, and seabirds are dying. Is that the kind of future we really want? 🐢🐟🐋🕊️ What we can do doesn't have to be big. However, each of them has the power to change the future in a big way. For example ✅ Don't "opt" for single-use plastic products ✅ "Picking up" plastic waste that has fallen on the Coast Even the smallest actions can eventually lead to big changes. One thing 🌱 you can do today In Hokule'a Shonan, through diving and snorkeling, I feel that it is our mission to focus on and convey both the beauty of the ocean and the challenges we are currently facing. Passing on the beautiful ocean to the next generation. Why don't you start doing just one thing today? #WorldEnvironmentDay #OceanPlastic #OneActionCanChangeTheFuture #ProtectOurOceans #DiveAgainstDebris #PADI #SDGs14 #ProjectAware #HokuleaShonan

✨ The mysterious blue Squid spawning season has arrived ✨ From Spring to summer, the drama of life unfolds in the sea. 🌸🌊 From April to June, this season is the spawning season for blue Squid. It is a precious time to encounter a special sea scene that will remain in your heart "Only now". The first time I experienced diving was just during the spawning season of this blue Squid. 🦑 Swimming softly in the water, and a silent ritual to connect lives. I even now remember being overwhelmed and gasping for breath at the mystery of the sea. The female of the blue Squid is escorted by the male, At the base of seaweed, in the crevices of corals, and in the spawning beds set up by fishery cooperatives, Eggs that look like white pearls are carefully laid one by one. 🤍 Its appearance is fantastic, yet somehow ephemeral. There are males who swim alone. It is a male whose courtship did not come true. Under the straightforward instinct of connecting lives, a quiet "choice of life" is taking place in the sea. 🐚 Having finished laying eggs, the female finishes her role and quietly closes her life. When you witness the moment of "risking your life to connect your life", the back of your chest gradually warms up. You will be deeply moved by the great power and mystery of the sea. 🏝️ At Hokule'a Shonan, we carefully guide you to the spawning scene of blue Squid unique to this season every year. Because of the small number of people, we deliver a "sea experience" that you can observe closely. 📷 That atmosphere, that quiet impression that cannot be conveyed by photographs. Please try it out in Water. And so that first-timers and those with blanks can participate with peace of mind, The instructor will support you 💁 ♂️💁 ♀️ 🌿 At this time of year, when the water temperature and transparency begin to stabilize, it is ideal for diving. 🌊 A special Impression that you can never experience on land awaits you. Why don't you go and see the "baton of life" unfolding in the sea together? The once-in-a-lifetime story of the blue Squid will surely remain deep in ✨ your heart #VisitJapan #KanagawaTravel #ManazuruDiving  #ExploreJapan #ScubaDivingJapan #HokuleaShonan #TokyoDayTrip #JapanNature #OceanAdventure #TravelToJapan #JapanBeachLife #DiscoverJapan #HiddenGemsJapan

There are a ranch in Shobara City, Hiroshima Prefecture where you can enjoy the interaction between cows and nature and experience cheese making 🧀! 🐮✨ "Fukufuku Ranch" is located in Kuchiwa Town, Shobara City, Hiroshima Prefecture. Although it is called a ranch, it is the mountain itself. Nature spreads out so that curious children will want to frolic and run around, such as cows walking on steep slopes and bushes without worrying about it, insects and thick tree branches (which make you want to pick them up...). There are about 5~10 cows in the ranch. From Spring to autumn, they like to eat green grass in the grazing area, and in winter they eat hay. All varieties are of the Jersey breed. Of course, you can interact with such cows. There is also a full ranch experience plan here! Here are the five: (For details of the experience, please see the "Fukufuku Ranch" Official website.) ） (1) Walking course right next to the cow (2) Ranch trekking & cottage cheese making (3) Milking (4) Making Butter (5) Visiting the sites tour with ranch staff We have prepared an experience plan with the hope that you will learn about milk, which is the source of cheese, and the cows that live in the mountains.
