Today I walked to Tsumekizaki cape in Shimoda to see the flowers of narcissus.
This festival has been held since last December 20th, and now it is good timing to see the fully blooming there.
It was sunny and we didn't have cold wind, so it was very warm here in Shimoda.
I took some pictures on the way to Tsumekizaki.
This morning I walked around the mountain behind Sakuraya for an hour and took streching for 40 minutes.
Actually I have been on a diet since last July and could reduce my weight by 8kg at last.
I'm very happy, but will try to do it more!
Walking under the sunshine make me happy!!
This morning I walked after our chldren went to school.
In this season we can see many kinds of flowers along the road.
Yellow flowers and blue sea are beautiful.

This morning I walked again.
In this season we can see the Izu Oshima island and the Amagi mountains under the clear sky.
I could get the energy from the sun looking over the ocean on the top of mountain.
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 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.
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!
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.
