A special season unique to spring has begun at Enoura in Kanagawa Prefecture.
About an hour from Tokyo.

During this time, you can witness the "spawning of the Japanese common squid" in the waters of Japan.

Usually drifting quietly in the sea, the squids begin to gather in shallow waters for spawning as spring arrives.

Underwater, a unique tension and a quiet presence of life spread throughout.

Divers can observe the squids heading to their spawning grounds and the eggs laid on branches up close.

Spawning has just begun.
Over the next few weeks, small lives will develop within the eggs.

In a few weeks, you will also be able to see tiny baby squids swimming inside the eggs.

Watching underwater feels like peeking into a small story within the sea.

Moreover, this scenery can only be seen during the short period of spring.

It's not at an aquarium,
not in a video,
but a seasonal landscape you can experience in the actual waters of Japan.

On this day, we encountered clownfish, sea slugs, and even "underwater Doraemon."

It's another side of Japan that you won't find just by visiting Tokyo or Kyoto.

A day spent at the sea, a little away from the city, will surely become a special travel memory.

Enoura is a diving area that can be visited as a day trip from Tokyo.

Hokule'a Shonan offers small-group diving tours suitable for beginners.
They also provide English support, making it popular among travelers from abroad and foreign residents in Japan.

Come to the spring-only waters of Japan.
Why not go see the quiet drama of life?
