I've been diving in the wreck & cave of Atami! About 1 hour 🚗 by Car from Hiratsuka I went to a diving Spot in Atami, Spot Access by far the most popular from Kanagawa Prefecture! One of Japan's one of the best sunken ships, the Asahi 16, is waiting there 🚢 This wreck is one of the Specialties of Atami diving, and it is a Spot that tickles the adventurous spirit that divers should visit at least once! The wreck is Dawn! and Powerful. The depth is about 25m, so you will need to be an AOW diver. This is the next step for OW divers. If you want to go, but you're worried about ear removal, neutral buoyancy, and dry suits, don't worry! Even if you are a beginner in diving, you can practice well if you request it, so you can challenge it 😃 with peace of mind This time, a guest from Florida, USA, participated! Therefore, a Japanese ban has been issued for diving this time! The yellowtail was also done 🖐️ entirely in English If you want to practice diving in English, go to Hokule'a, an international diving school. We are also looking for people who can speak English! Diving is a wonderful opportunity to ♪ connect with the world On the way back, I had a delicious Kaisen Donburi bowl at Ishida Shoten in Manazuru, which can be reached by car from Atami, and it was 😃 a very satisfying day In fact, this day was also 🎂✨ the 43rd birthday of Our Store Representative Koike Pachiri 📸 for a commemorative photo with everyone Thank you for the many warm blessings!

📍 Enoshima It was taken on the same day as the day of the Enoden shooting. The Sunrise seen from Enoshima Island in winter is my favorite view in the world. When the air is clear and the waves are calm, the sun's rays are reflected on the surface of the sea, creating a golden path. There are not many people, so it is a beautiful scenery that almost sucks you in. It is not the same place as Enoshima in the summer, you can spend a peaceful time, and the roads are not crowded, so it is recommended. Even though the waves were calm, it was a little windy and very cold on this day, so when you go to the sea in winter, I recommend that you bring warm clothes and hot drinks!

📍 Enoshima This is Enoden, taken at the end of 2024. I visit once every winter to see the Sunrise on Enoshima. I'm sure I've ridden it many times already, but the view of the sea from Enoden is always exciting. In particular, the sea on a winter morning that can be seen from the vicinity of Kamakura High School Station is calm with few people, unlike summer, and it seems to be a beautiful painting with a sense of loneliness. In addition, the air is clear and Mount Fuji looks very beautiful, so it is highly recommended to heal the fatigue of the year. * Please refrain from stopping on the tracks or entering the level crossing.

I climbed Mt. Mt. Takao on an excursion. The weather was very good and we could see Mount Fuji! The weather on Mt. Mt. Takao in March was good, but it was 💦 a little difficult for people with hay fever

I like Asakusa in the rain Gari, this place where you can see the world behind it, and I visit it every time

Plum blossoms illuminated by street lamps, unlike in the daytime, attract the eye with a suspicious atmosphere

Meigetsu-in Temple in Kamakura, Famous for its hydrangeas Autumn leaves in autumn are also a wonderful temple The autumn view from the window of enlightenment is very cool

Sakura Jingu Shrine is nearby, so I often go there, but the coolest time is on a rainy day When you walk around the city, this figure suddenly appears

I thought it wouldn't snow in Tokyo this year. In March, the early-blooming cherry blossoms began to bloom, and then the snow fell. Snowy scenery of early-blooming cherry blossoms at Sakura Jingu Shrine Very cool scenery typical of Japan
