Numazu City, Shizuoka Prefecture.
Hirasawa, located along the coast of Nishi-Izu.
A few hours from Tokyo.
Here, time flows completely differently from the city.
In the morning, the road leads to the sea.
A blue sky.
The calm Suruga Bay.
The summer air.
This day was for OW, AOW, and Assistant Instructor courses.
Some are nervous about their first time in the sea.
Others are moving on to the next step.
Some are learning to support others.
Each enters the same sea with different purposes.
Underwater, it is quiet.
Swaying seaweed.
Light slowly filtering through.
A world where only the sound of bubbles can be heard.
The sea at Hirasawa has a beauty that is a bit different from flashiness.
Clear water.
Gentle currents.
Time spent slowly regulating one's breath.
Even for those diving for the first time, it's a place where you can gradually get used to the sea.
At Hokulea Shonan, tours and courses are conducted in small groups.
Enjoying the sea at your own pace, without rushing.
That is the style that is cherished in this place.
After diving.
Everyone stopped by Mentai Park.
Local food after seeing the sea.
Time to choose souvenirs.
Scenery along the coast while driving.
Such moments are also part of the journey in Japan.
Japan is not just about visiting famous tourist spots.
The road to the sea.
Local towns.
Small diving shops.
Scenery that can only be seen that day.
Nishi-Izu has such quiet charm.
For those wanting to spend a slightly special day near Tokyo.
Time spent in the sea of Japan will surely remain in your travel memories.
