A Favorite for Divers: Hammerhead Season in Shimoda

Shimoda is one of Japan’s top diving destinations, especially known for its hammerhead shark sightings during peak season. Divers love staying at tabi-tabi for its:

• Group-friendly setup

• Outdoor space to clean and dry gear

• Short distance to dive centers and boat launches

• Comfortable hangout areas to unwind post-dive

Culture, Nature & Fresh Seafood

Shimoda isn’t just about beaches and diving—it’s also rich in traditional Japanese culture and culinary delights.

• Explore local temples and shrines, many tucked away in quiet forested corners or overlooking the sea

• Visit historical sites tied to Japan’s opening to the West (Shimoda played a key role in 19th-century history)

• Savor fresh, local seafood—from sushi and sashimi to grilled fish straight from the morning market

• Soak in nearby onsens (hot springs) for the ultimate relaxation after a day of exploring

A Refreshing Break from Tourist Hotspots

While Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka get all the buzz, they also come with crowds, traffic, and long lines—especially tough when you’re with kids or a group.

Shimoda offers something different. Space. Simplicity. The sound of waves instead of train stations.

And at Guesthouse tabi-tabi, you can truly enjoy it all—together.
