Atami – Where Adventure Meets Serenity

Just 90 minutes from Tokyo, Atami in Shizuoka offers one of the most fascinating diving experiences in Japan — where adventure and serenity come together beneath the surface. Known for its wreck diving and mysterious blue cave, Atami attracts divers who seek both excitement and peace in one destination.

The highlight of Atami is the wreck of Asahi No.16, one of the largest wrecks in Japan. Resting quietly on the seafloor, this massive structure is now covered in colorful soft corals and swarming with marine life. As you descend, the silhouette of the wreck slowly appears out of the blue — a breathtaking sight that makes you feel like you’re stepping into an underwater museum. Exploring this wreck is an unforgettable experience for divers who love large-scale structures full of history and mystery.

Then, shift from adventure to calm in Atami’s Blue Cave. As you enter, sunlight pierces through the narrow opening, filling the space with an ethereal blue glow. The soft light, bubbles rising toward the surface, and the quiet stillness of the cave create a dreamlike world beneath the waves. It’s a moment of pure serenity — a dive that connects you deeply with the ocean.

Whether you’re looking for thrilling wreck diving or a peaceful cave dive, Atami offers both just a short train ride from Tokyo. With easy access, clear water, and diverse dive sites, it’s a perfect destination for weekend divers and international visitors alike.

If you’re searching for wreck diving in Japan, or want to discover the best diving spots near Tokyo, Atami is a must-visit. Dive into its hidden blue world — where every moment beneath the sea feels like a journey between adventure and serenity. 🌊💙

【Shimanto City, Kochi Prefecture】Eat the river! Sweetfish! Eel! River shrimp! Gori! "Traditional fishing method" that is close to the Shimanto River

Introducing the traditional fishing methods passed down by river fishermen in the Shimanto River. We will introduce the important culture of the river basin that is close to the river and appreciates the blessings of the river.

〇Traditional fishing method of the Shimanto River
The traditional fishing method of the Shimanto River has been carefully passed down by Local river fishermen, and it continues to be a part of daily life, changing its shape little by little with changes in the environment. The bounty of the Shimanto River, such as sweetfish, eel, scampi shrimp, and aosanori, adds color to the family table every season, and is deliciously cooked by skilled chefs in Shimanto City to delight the taste buds of tourists. It is also processed in various ways and is popular as a Souvenir.

〇 Look at the river, eat the river
If you take a leisurely stroll along the Shimanto River, you can see eels and scampi shrimp submerged in water from the Submersible Bridge. Depending on the season, you may meet people fishing for sweetfish in the river or fishing in riverboats. There may be a gori fishing device lined with stones on the riverbank, or the harvest of green nori is just taking place at the mouth of the river. If you take the time to look at the Shimanto River, you will encounter something "river and human activities". And at night, you can enjoy the Ingredients harvested by the contraptions you actually saw in the river at the restaurant. It is a different way to enjoy the "familiar" Shimanto River.

〇 Introduction of traditional fishing methods
・Fire fishing of sweetfish
Set up nets to cross the river in advance, and wave a Bonfire from the top of the boat at night. Surprised by the raging band of flames, the sweetfish flees and is driven into the net. Nowadays, it is often done using LEDs, but the principle is a traditional fishing method that has not changed since ancient times. sweetfish are also caught in Other by various fishing methods such as casting nets and fishing.

・Scampi shrimp fishing
If you look from the Submersible Bridge near the water's edge, you can see a series of PVC pipes evenly spaced. This is a fishing gear called "Korobashi" that collects scampi shrimp. In the past, it was made of wood, but over time it has changed to a Ingredients that is easier to handle. Standard scampi shrimp are brightly colored and eaten with karaage. In addition, it is useful as a Township taste, such as resembling a large raised cucumber.

・Eel fishing
　There are Styrofoam and plastic bottles floating in the river without streaming. This may be a landmark of Korobashi catching eels. Eels, which are sensitive to odors, do not enter resin contraptions, and wooden korobashi is still used even now.

・Gori fishing
If the riverbank is lined with stones that dammed the water, it may be a gimmick for Gori's Noborio Toshiue fishing. In the Shimanto River, the juveniles of Numatitib are called "gori" and are popular as a taste of early summer from Spring. Standard is to eat it as karaage or tsukuni.

〇Things to be aware of
Fishery rights are set for fishing in the Shimanto River. When fishing, it is mandatory to purchase a recreational fishing ticket.
In addition, a fishing ban period has been established from the viewpoint of protecting Minamoto.
Please be careful.
