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.

A short train ride from Tokyo leads you to a peaceful seaside experience. This time, I visited Zushi in Kanagawa Prefecture. It's a popular beach for day trips near Tokyo. The previous day was closed due to strong winds. Excited to see how the sea has changed, I headed to Zushi in the morning. Upon entry, a clear blue underwater world awaited. Countless damselfish. Sardines and mackerel swimming while reflecting the light. Schools of fish filled the water. The scenery was unlike anything you'd expect near Tokyo. But the charm of Zushi's sea doesn't stop there. Looking down a bit reveals a small world beginning. A goby hiding in the rocks. Colorful sea slugs. As I searched slowly, new discoveries came one after another. What impressed me most was the moment I saw a Sagami ryugu sea slug riding on a scorpion fish. Just a few seconds of a small event. Yet, such serendipitous scenes remain as memories of the sea. Time spent observing the schools of fish. Time spent looking for small creatures. In the same sea, you can enjoy completely different experiences. That's the allure of Zushi's sea. After diving, I had lunch at a local diner. The calm air after returning from the sea is one of the joys of traveling in Japan. A glimpse of another side of Japan that you won't encounter just by sightseeing in Tokyo. A tranquil world by the sea, right near the city. Hokule'a Shonan offers small-group diving tours near Tokyo. Beginners and solo participants are welcome. Why not experience a "day by the sea" during your trip to Japan? 【Related Keywords】 Tokyo Diving / Diving Near Tokyo / Kanagawa Diving / Zushi Diving / Dive Near Tokyo / Japan Diving / Hidden Japan / Japanese Ocean Experience / Tokyo Day Trip

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? 📍 Enoura (Kanagawa Prefecture) 🚃 Day trip possible from Tokyo 🤿 Small group tours with English support #Near Tokyo #Day trip #Extraordinary experience #Japanese common squid #Squid spawning
