Although it is still winter on the calendar, February in Shimoda and Iritahama Beach already carries a subtle sense of spring. The sunlight feels softer, the breeze gentler, and the sea reveals its winter clarity. Walking along the beach in the morning, you can truly appreciate the calm and transparency that make this season so special.

This is also the time of year when we begin looking ahead and imagining the coming season. In just a few months, Golden Week will arrive, and you may even spot people enjoying the ocean without wetsuits — a sure sign that early summer is on its way.

Once again this season, Aquaholic Iritahama is pleased to offer free rentals for our guests. We provide surfboards, bodyboards, and snorkeling sets at no extra charge, so you can enjoy the ocean as soon as you arrive — light on luggage, free in spirit.

From the quiet beauty of winter to the lively energy of spring and summer, we invite you to experience the changing seasons here at Iritahama Beach.

We very much look forward to welcoming you and sharing this special time by the sea.
