All ten of Shimoda’s beaches closed their swimming season on August 31. Thank you to everyone who visited this year.
After the season ends, designated swimming and surf zones disappear, and regulations such as "prohibited," "caution," or "permitted" no longer apply; lifeguards and beach patrols that were on duty at the bathing sites are withdrawn.

A water-accident advisory is also in effect. With hot days likely to continue, please take care of weather, water temperature, and wave conditions if you go swimming. Be equally careful around other bodies of water.

Even outside the official swimming season, you can still enjoy time by the sea as marine therapy.
For marine sports, there are experiences suitable for beginners, including sea kayaking, surf lessons, and diving.

Simply walking the shore and breathing the salt-tinged air can have the benefits of marine therapy.

Spread a sheet on the sand and relax while watching the sea or getting lost in a book.

As summer’s bustle fades, the autumn sea becomes clear and calm.

Shimoda’s sea is worth visiting even after the swimming season ends.✨

We look forward to seeing you (^o^)

Yesterday (September 9), we replanted daffodil bulbs at Cape Tsumeki, a scenic spot in Shimoda City. Daffodils bloom in winter, and Shimoda City holds its Daffodil Festival from December 20 to January 31. All the bulbs in the garden are dug up every June, and when summer ends the park management staff of Shimoda City replants the bulbs. Although daffodils can bloom for several years without being replanted, we dig them up once to check the soil and buried bulbs so they will bloom beautifully. About 15 people gathered to work today. We carried out the task with hopes that this year’s display will be even more beautiful. 😊 Imagining these bulbs sprouting, flowering, and turning the garden into a pure white sea of daffodils in three months makes me excited for the opening. ✨ Those who participated in the work included local residents of the Susaki area, Izu Kyuko Line, Shimoda Kaikoku Museum, ShimodaRopeway, Villa Ozawa (Tsumekizaki shop), Blue Tsumekizaki (Tsumekizaki shop), Shimoda City General Affairs Division, Tourism Exchange Division, Shimon Information Center, and Shimoda City Tourism Association. Thank you to everyone who took part and worked hard under the hot sun. 😊 We will hand over to the park management staff so they can continue replanting many bulbs, hoping that many visitors will come to this year’s Daffodil Festival. Thinking of the garden turning completely pure white, we look forward to seeing you in January! *The photo of the fully blooming daffodil garden is an award-winning entry from last year’s photo contest.*
