In these days the weather have been changing everyday.

When I went to Shimoda for shopping I took pictures.
There were a lot of people on the nearest beach this weekend.
After that I went to the next beach "Sotoura Beach."

This morning the weather forecast said it would be almost cloudy today, but actually it was sunnny here in Shirahama.
I took this picture on the way to the nearest beach "Shirahama Beach", and after that I went to Shirahama Tourist Information to take some pictures.
Our customers who came from Chiba prefecture next to Tokyo for the 1st time were surprised at this blue water.
This time the typhoon stayed for long time near Japan, and we had had a very strong wind and big waves here in Shimoda.
But we could take blue sky back as typhoon went up to the northern pacific ocean.
We still had big waves at around noon there were a lot of people on the beach.
The weather forecast says it will be sunny and hot tomorrow.

This time typhoon #6 has been going across Japan slowly, so we didn't have any influences by this typhoon.
But since last night we have had strong wind here in Shimoda.
After taking my children to the school by car I took some photos on the way home.
The strong wind was making the sea rough.
Not only Shirahama Beach but also all beaches in Shimoda were closed due to typhoon today.
When I went to Shimoda down town for shopping there were some people on the beach, and some of them were swimming.
It is really dangerous to swim today!!

Today it was Sunday which is the middle day of 3 holidays on weekend.
So there were a lot of people on the nearest beach Shirahama.
There are 9 beaches in Shimoda city, but some of them were closed due to typhoon getting closer to Japan.
Shirahama Beach was opened until 13:00, but it was closed after 14:00.
It will be closed again tomorrow.
Every year we have a Fireworks Festival in Shirahama in this season.
The rainy season sometimes is not over at the middle of July, so we have to be worry about the weather.
But this year it had been already over at the beginning of this month, we didn't need to worry about it.
Shirahama Fireworks Festival is very famous of this firework on the water.
It was very beautiful.
Have you ever been to Shimoda?
White sandy beach, blue sea and Izu Oshima Island on the horizon.....
It takes about only 3 or 4 hours to get there from Tokyo.
And you can get an amazing scenery like this!
Unbelivable!!

They came from Seattle and stayed with us for 3 nights.
During their stay it had been sunny and very hot, so they could have good days here in Shimoda.
On 3rd day they rented a car and drove on Izu peninsula.
How did you like it?

When I was cleaning guest rooms after check-out my son came and said,
"There is nothing to do, and I'm getting tired, dad.!
I had a lot of things to do and was very busy today, but I decided to go to the beach with my son for swimming.
Because we will have a lot of guests next weekend, and I will not be able to swim with him.
The water was stil a little bit cold, but we could have a good time on the beach.
Yesterday the rainy season was over here in Tokai area in Japan, and today it was over in Kanto area too.
I was wondering that the rainy season had been over yesterday, because it was almost cloudy here in Shimoda.
But summer has come to Shimoda at last.
When I was cleaning the guest rooms I could see the blue sea through the window.
So I decided to go to the beach to take pictures.
I took this on the way to the nearest beach "Shirahama" from Sakuraya.
Look at that gorgeous color of the sea!
It's amazing color, isn't it? ....

Whe I was checking the weather forecast this evening it said that the rainy season had been over in Chugoku, Shikoku, Kinki and Tokai region in Japan today.
Oh, really?
Because it had been almost cloudy here in Shimoda today.
But actually the weather in Osaka was very good today according to the website of weather forecast.
Anyway it is a very good news for us.
Everybody, let's get into the real summer!!!
Hello, how have you been?
Since the beginning of this month we have been very busy, so I couldn't posted the articles.
By the way Shizuoka Prefecture announced the result of the radioactive level of the sea water and the sand on the beaches in Shizuoka Pref. on paper today.
It reported that there was no radioactivity in the water and there was minuscule amount of it in the sand.
And it said there is no problem to swim and play on the beach.
It was very good new for us and made us very happy, and we can welcome the customers during this summer.
(Sorry, this article is only in Japanese.)
We had a heavy rain and a strong wind this morning, but the weather was changed at around noon.
When I went to Shimoda down town to pick up my daughter I took this photo on the way to the beach.
There used be a big building over there, so we couldn't see the ocean from this place.
But now we have a great view of the white sand and the blue sea....
Today we had a sunshine in the morning, but it became cloudy after that.
But the temperature was not of high, so it was a little comfortable.
This afternoon I went to the sing board on the corner of Road #135 to mow the grasses.
After an hour the sign board appeared, and our customers will be able to find it out easily.
After that I went to the beach......
