Divers from all over the Kanto region gather at a paradise called Osezaki. (Nishiura-enashi, Numazu, Shizuoka)
The area brings around 30,000 divers a year, making it the Japan’s most popular diving spot.
Roughly a dozen shops crowd together along the coastline, and though their numbers go up and down as the seasons pass, the divers remain a constant presence.
This album tries to capture some of the natural beauty and allure of Osezaki that brings so many visitors throughout the year. I hope that fans of the area can more easily introduce it to friends, and people can carry a little bit of the area with them and use it to refresh themselves when things get too hectic, or people may see these pictures and feel the urge to go and see the real thing.
These are some of my favorite scenes of Osezaki, and I hope you enjoy them.
In addition, I have included data on these photos in hopes that other aspiring photographers might be able to use them as an example.
This album is dedicated to all Osezaki fans.
