In 2015, I took a training course and exam to became a certified geoguide for the Izu Peninsula Geopark. Let's go to see the spectacular view.I've worked for a travel magazine, so I'm perfectly familiar with Shimoda.
And I like taking photos and trying to take moon pic.
Sometimes I go to the beach and enjoy beachcombing and beachclean up.
Comment
I've been collecting seashells since I was a child, and I've always been familiar with the ocean.I enjoyed making something with the shells I collected and even started holding craft classes.
After becoming a Geo guide, I discovered the beauty of nature and started enjoying going to the coast even more.
Let's go looking for seashells and sea glass together.
My recommendations
- Shirahama beach and Shirahama shrine
-
Shirahama Beach is a popular beach that is representative of the Izu Peninsula. The white sand and crystal clear waters are always impressive! I particularly like the area around Shirahama Shrine. It is also an important geopark, and is a place where you can learn about the history of the Izu Peninsula, the Izu Islands, and Shirahama Shrine. We also hold Shirahama Beach Clean-ups.
- Suzaki Peninsula in Shimoda City
-
Tsumeki-zaki, famous for its narcissus festival in Dec. to Jan., has plenty to see, including coral-colored beaches and stunning columnar jointed rocks. To the west of the Susaki-Peninsula is Ebisu Island, a great place to see the remains of an ancient underwater volcano. It's no exaggeration to say that the history of Shimoda Port began with the Suzaki Peninsula.
- I'm proud of my love for seashells.
-
The shells and sea glass used in the crafts are natural, collected by me myself from local beaches. I don't buy them from a materials store or source them myself.
Enjoy making cute items, accessories and other crafts.
With explanations of seaside creatures and washed up items, you'll be able to learn more about the ocean around you.
