Today it was a second day of
Shirahama shrine festival.
A lot of people come to this shrine and they watched the traditional dance performance.
And after that they had a ceremony to tell the opening of festival to the gods on the seven islands on the pacific ocean.
Actually it is held on the first day, but they changed the date because of rain yesterday.

Shirahama shrine which has a long
history of more than 2,400 years has the festival on October 28th, 29th
and 30th.
Today it was an eve of this festival and the young boys and girls who are second year students in junior high attended the ceremony which was held in the main shrine.
My second daughter also joined them.

Several days ago we got a
postcard from our customers who live in France and stayed at Sakuraya in
last June.
And in this message they said they would sent us a souvenir of Toulous in France.
As they told us we got a pretty and sweet candy yesterday.
Thank you for sending your postcard, message and wonderful presents from France!
We
are really appreciated and are very glad that you remember us.
Please come and visit Japan someday again in the future!!

When I went to the beach there were about 10 people in the sea.
They had big waves today after the typhoon passed away.
My son and I went to Togai-hama
Beach for snorkeling near Irozaki cape, the tip of Izu peninsula.
It takes about 40 minutes to get there from Sakuraya by car.
My son tried snorkeling there for the 1st time and he was excited at a lot of fishes.

Pension Sakuraya in Shimoda, Japan
My wife and I went to the west
side of Izu peninsula for snorkeling today.
On the west side of Izu there are many scenic points with strange rocks.
This beach has also big rocks on the sea and the caves.
As we had a little big wave and the water was not so clear today, but I could found many kinds of fish there.
They came from France and England to Japan for
the 1st time and stayed at Sakuraya for 4 nights.
During their stay the typhoon came to Japan and they expected to have a first typhoon for them.
But it was not big and we didn't have a heavy rain, so they disappointed with it.
Anyway, they said that they had had a great time here in Shimoda.
Thank you for staying with us.
My son and I went to Ebisujima island for snorkeling today.
He was excited with a lot of fishes in the water.
It was very good condition for snorkeling because the water is still warm.
We didn't need wetsuit actually.
