\nKimura-san and Kyle checking out Isounora and it wasn’t looking too good for surfing, so we head to the fishing port. yesterday was a holiday and no fisherman were around. so Kimura-san got on his old school cell phone, made some calls, and made it happen.

\nwe load up the car, get our stuff ready, and it was time to go to work.

\nbut first, it was family photo time. a tradition here at Yamari. the next generations to come.

\nwe jump into the little van and head to the port. taking the kids with us was cool because just by them watching, they will get to experience a mixed taste of hawaii in japan. something they will probably never forget.

\njapan’s culture is based around fishermen. they are surrounded by ocean and they live off the ocean. everywhere you go, there are different kinds of wildlife, and different techniques. we spend the morning on a local fishing boat with a local fisherman. i was a very happy guy!

\nthis trip was planned last minute like usual. it was only 3 days ago i decided to come and Go-Naminori web designer Naoka just so happened to be on his way back from his home town hiroshima to shonan. when i seen him, the first thing he said was “Destiny.” haha.

\ni dive here pretty often so i kind of know where the fish are, and how to catch them. first it was hard, now it’s much easier. i guess experience pays off. this fish is called an “ishidai” and is one of most tastiest fish here in japan. and also very expensive. so stoked Kyle is here to document some of the coolest people and culture i love so much.

\nmixed bag of all good eating fish. like usual, we take it to the nearby chef and get ready for the fresh dinner party!

\ni remember taking Naoka diving for the first time years ago. he couldn’t catch anything but kept on trying and trying. finally, he’s producing. yesterday, he picked up some prized rock oysters and other shell fish. good job Naoka! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
