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"caution," or "permitted" no longer apply; lifeguards and beach patrols that were on duty at the bathing sites are withdrawn.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^)

下田市のペットホテル「AMMOS」に行ってきました！🐾
先日、下田市柿崎にあるペットホテル AMMOS を見学してきました！愛犬と一緒に安心して過ごせる、素敵な施設でした🐶✨ 一緒に宿泊できるペットの頭数に制限はなく、一般的なしつけができていれば超大型犬まで受け入れ可能とのこと👌！（猫や鳥、ウサギも宿泊できます！）外浦海水浴場の目の前なのも大きな魅力です🌊🌈ここからは、施設や周辺の様子を写真とともにご紹介いたします！
外観はこんな感じ！シックな外観が印象的です。AMMOS（アーモス）はギリシャ語で「砂浜」を意味します。静かな外浦海水浴場を前に、その名の通り穏やかな砂浜の風景を思わせる場所にあります🏝✨気になるお部屋は全6部屋で2階と3階に分かれています。広々とした客室からはビーチが見え、露天風呂で癒されながらのんびり過ごせます！
サウナがついている客室もありました～🧖♀️ 🌿✨1階にはペット専用のプールがあります。ドライヤー完備で、愛犬もさっぱり＆快適に過ごせます✨！さらにペット用の温泉も🐶♨ワンちゃんだってリラックスできます！レストランも1階にあり、ペットと一緒にお食事を楽しめます🍴🐾海の景色も満喫できますよ！今回は

Roro Kurofune, a confectionery about a 10-minute walk from Izukyu-Shimoda Station, has just won the top prize at the National Confectionery Expo °˖✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧˖°
The award-winning item is the Kaikoku Caramel Monaka.
It’s a personal favorite of mine: homemade caramel densely packed with walnuts delivers an irresistible bite.
I highly recommend it for anyone puzzling over souvenirs ✨
Although they are wagashi artisans, Roro Kurofune also creates sweets with a Western feel, and they offer seasonal limited items that make you want to keep coming back.
Another must-try is the wasanbon pudding.
Also fun is the Kuro-Mona, where you inject sweet bean paste into a crispy monaka shell yourself (the paste is added just before eating so it stays crunchy), and bite-sized cookies dusted with wasanbon sugar called "Koko Shimoda"... the recommendations never end 💦
The shop is lined with many other confections (≧▽≦)
When you visit Shimoda, please stop by and discover your own Roro Kurofune sweets!
