2012/06/30 Ebisujima island: Good point for snorkeling in Shimoda
As it was sunny here in Shimoda today and we had some free time before check-in time I went to Ebisujima island for snorkeling.
It takes about 15 minutes by car and there is a bridge to get to this island.
This is one of good points for snorkeling in Shimoda, and there is a big tide pool like this.
This season it is a little early for snorkeling, but the water was very clear today and we could find out some fishes there.
After August the water temperature will be getting higher and it will be a good season for snorkeling in Izu peninsula.

It was sunny and very hot today here in Shimoda.

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!!

2012/04/27 Kuroshio, a warm ocean current
I am checking this website (only Japanese) out everyday, and the water temperature is getting warmer and warmer than 10 days ago.
There is a warm ocean current "Kuroshio" that flows northeastwardly off the coast of Japan into the northern Pacific ocean.
The water temperature is changing depending on this current, and this current is getting closer to Izu peninsula in these days.
That's why the water temperature is very warm here in Shimoda.
If you come to Shimoda during this Golden Week you should bring a swim wear.
The air temperature is also getting warmer day after day!!

2012/04/17 The water temperature is getting warmer!!
About 10 days ago it was 14 degrees, but I found out that it is now 16 or 17 degrees!
This is a map of the water temperature of the pacific ocean.
In this season the water temperature is getting warmer day after day.
In addition, the air temperature is also getting warmer, of course.
During Golden Week we can see a lot of people swimming in Shimoda.
Please don't foget the swim wear if you come to Shimoda from this season!!

2012/04/07 Kujuppama Beach in Shimoda with my son
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.

Today it was a first day of new school year.
My son finished classes at 11:00AM, so I went to pick him up.
On the way home I took this picture.
My children go to school on this road everyday looking over the blue sea like this.
They are very happy, and we have to appreciate that we can live here, a beautiful place in Shimoda.
