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.

[About Bamboo Shoot Picking 2025 and Bamboo Cutting and Shredding Work] Preparations are underway in the park this year to hold the bamboo shoot picking event again. The day before yesterday, we carried out bamboo cutting and shredding work. The cutting work involves thinning out old bamboo to expose the ground surface to sunlight. (Rising ground temperature is necessary for bamboo shoot growth.) The cut bamboo has its branches and leaves removed and is fed into a shredder to make bamboo chips. When spread on the ground, the bamboo chips become compost. This improves soil nutrition and helps produce tastier bamboo shoots. Preparations are currently under way to hold this year’s bamboo shoot picking. The event period is under consideration, but it is expected to run from around mid-April to early May. Details will be posted on the Toyooka Tabi Jikan website by the Toyooka Village Tourism Association, so please check it for updates. https://www.vill-nagano-toyooka-kanko.jp/tourism/experience/mikaku-02/5968/...

This photo was taken on Kawaramachi Street in Tamba Sasayama City, Hyogo Prefecture. Colorful and cute bells. It was a moment when I was able to make a new discovery that bells might look better than wind chimes in the cityscape of Castle Town. When I was passing by on the Car, I saw a sparkling bell, so I parked my Car at the Car parking lot and went back to take pictures. I was also able to find a nice café on that street. It was a cold day, so if it weren't for the bell, I might not have gotten out of the car and walked down this street. When I think about it, I'm very grateful ☺️ to Suzu for giving me that encounter

First, we will explain what calligraphy is, followed by an explanation of attitudes and tools first. You will better understand the difference between calligraphy as a form of character decoration (caligraphy), which also exists overseas, and Japanese "shodo" (calligraphy). Calligraphy is a traditional Japanese culture that uses brush and ink to express characters artistically, and is appreciated for its neatness, the way the brush is carried, the shade of the ink, and the beauty of the overall arrangement of the characters. #kanji #kimono #Calligraphy #tatamiroom #samurai
