In these days the sun have been
sparkling and we have had perfect days in Shimoda.
Today I walked around
Shirahama beach and took some photos.
The blue pacific ocean was
inviting us.
I want to get into the water right now if we are not busy!
It was hot and sunny here in Shimoda today.
The clear air and the sun shine made the sea so beautiful.
I went to the nearest beach "Shirahama" with my son after school.
We could see the sand removing operation on the beach.
During winter and early spring we sometimes have strong north wind, and it blows the sand away.
So they have to prepare the beach removing the sand before summer.
The weather forecast says the tropical cycron is coming to Japan this week.
This typhoon will hit Tokai and Kanto area on June 19th or 20th.
Please be careful and prepare everything to protect ourselves.

Last night we had a heavy rain in Shimoda, but it became sunny and hot today.
So I went to Shimoda park to see and take pictures with my son.
We walked in the fully blooming hydrangea, and there were a lot of people.

Shirahama Ohama Beach: 4 minutes walk away Pension Sakuraya in Shimoda, Japan
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.
This festival is taking place in Shimoda Park between June 1st and 30th.
This is the largest scale in Japan, because there are more than 150,000 hydrangea trees in this park.
The best time to see is after the middle of June, they say.
Come and visit Shimoda this month!!

It was sunny and very hot today here in Shimoda.
I walked around on Shirahama beach and Sotoura beach for an hour and half.
When we have a west wind we sometimes can see the clear and blue sea.
The sun and the wind gave us the beautiful scenery and made me very happy today!!

On May 2nd they had a lot of rain and a land slide in Amagi mountain.
But today we could see a sun shine and a blue sky.
They made our customers very happy.
Koinobori (Carp streamer) also loves blue sky!

I took this picture in front of Seven Eleven in Shirahama when I went to the school to pick my daughter up this afternoon.
Now it's 1:30 AM on May 3rd we have a heavy rain and strong wind outside.
However, the weather forecast says it will be cloudy tomorrow and sunny after that.
It's a very good news for our customers during Golden Week.
