Last night and today we didn't have many
customers I went to Ebisujima island for snorkeling with my son this
afternoon.
Even my son is in summer holiday we can't go and travel anywhere because of our job, so I decided to go for him.
Before we arrived at this island it was cloudy but it became sunny after that.
There were some people who were snorkeling with swim wear there, but my son put on the wet suit because the north wind was a little cold for him.
The 6th web page of Snorkeling point information has just completed now.
I am very tired to make it.
This website is in production and in only
Japanese, but 5 pages were completed today.
You can click the small images on the left side of main page to see a lot of pictures for snorkeling on each web page.

Today I went to the beach to
snorkel for the 1st time this year.
The water was still a little cold, but there was no prpblem for me. Because I put on a wetsuit when I got into the water.
I couldn't find out the tropical fishes, but there were some Japanese cormorants on the rock and small fishes in the water.
This is a small fisherman's port called Itami
in Shirahama.
There are some small boats and the fishermen use them to fish and to get Iseebi (Japanese spiny lobster) in this season.
And there is a small beach as well.
We can swim there in summer.
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.

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.
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.
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!
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!
Today we had no dinner for our customers, so I decided to go to the sea with my son.
But in Shirahama beach they announced Swimming carefully due to the big waves by typhoon passing near Japan, so we went to Ebisujima island in Shimoda.
There were a lot of people around this island and they were swiimming, jumping into the sea, snorkeling.

On last Sunday, as it was beautiful day I went to Tsumekizaki cape in Shimoda for snorkeling with my son.
The water is getting warmer, so I could get into the water without wetsuit.
But the water was not clear and we could not find out many fishes, because the water condition was not good then and it was too earlier for snorkeling.
We will try to go there after August again.
Today it was sunny and very warm here in Shimoda again.
As my son had a holiday today we went to Kujuppama beach, 15 minutes driving from Pension Sakuraya.
This beach is good for swimming and snorkeling, so it's very crowded in summer.
We put short pants to get into the water today, but it was still very cold.
I posted 13 photos and 2 videos, this and this, which I took today.
4 minutes walking to the nearest beach "Shirahama" Pension Sakuraya in Shimoda
Yesterday there were some surfers in the water.
We can see the surfers even in winter in Shimoda, and I was thinking it is too cold to surf.
But the water temperature is higher than the air, so there is no problem for surfers to get into the water.
If you had a wet suit you could snorkel in Shimoda in this season!
If you don't have it you can rent it at the surf shop "Shirahama Marina" in Shirahama.
On last Sunday my daughter had a ping pong game at Junio High School in Minami-Izu town, so I took her by my car.

I could see many kinds of fish and took a lot of pictures of them.

Yesterday it was sunny and very hot here in Shimoda, but I could not go to the beach to swim.
So I went to the sea for snorkeling today.

This beach is very small but the water was really clear and I could take pictures of fishes.
I have been thinking that I wanted to go to Nishi-Izu town for snorkeling for a long time.
2 years ago, when I went to Nishi-Izu town for buissines I went to Futo Beach and found out that the water was very clear, and decided to come here again in the future.
On 29th September I could go to Futo beach but the condition was not good, so I change the point to Sehama Beach next to Futo beach.
There is a island called "Son no shima", and I could find out a lot of fishes around this island.

When I served the breakfast our customer this morning he said,
"Where is the good point for snorkeling?"
I told him some points in Shimoda, but I said to him,
"Oh, are you interested in snorkeling? I was going to go to the one of good points by accident, actually. Do you go with me? As we don't have any other customeres today I can take you there by my car".
After breakfast we went to Togai-hama together by my car.
