A Letter from Blue Sky and Sea - Izu Shimoda Photo Diary

2012/08/29 Snorkeling at Ebisu-jima Island in Shimoda

As we didn't have many customers who had dinner tonight I went to Ebisujima island in Shimoda with my son.

This is a very good point for children and beginners because there is a big tide pool.

We could see a lot of fishes there!

2012/08/05 It will be the best season for swimming and snorkeling!

Do you know that there is no jellyfish here in Shimoda?

Yes, after the middle of August it will be the best season for swimming and snorkeling because we don't find out any jellyfishes and the sea water temperature will be getting higher.

Why don't you come and visit Shimoda from now?

The blue sea will welcome you!
