The husband and I will be traveling to Japan for the first time in September of 2024. We are looking for recommendations for a dive shop that offers diving opportunities near(ish) Tokyo. We would need to be able to rent the majority of the equipment and we are both advanced certified divers. Any help is appreciated.

Go to Mikomoto, the 3 hour train ride is VERY worth it. They have simple accommodations for little money and the diving is amazing in September.
The usual day is 3 boat dives, I'd plan on two days to make it worthwhile.

I was looking at this last night - that’s the hammerhead dive? At least in summer/fall?
Yes. I didn't get the full hammer schooling experience (only spotted a couple in the distance) and the dive was still excellent. The bottom topography is really interesting and they are drift dives.
I will be going again if possible.
i know it’s been a while but we are finally actively planning.
Where is “Mikimoto”? If I search on a maps app I just get pearl stores in big cities. I just cannot clearly figure it out aside from perhaps in or near Toba? I looked on my PADI app but it wasn’t any help either. If you have a dive shop to recommend that would be ideal.
if it is somewhere between Osaka and Kamakura, it would fit nicely into our itinerary. Any help would be appreciated.

Well thank you. Obviously it was operator error in spelling it incorrectly. But I’m a chick who used to work at a jewelry store so I saw what I wanted to see…mikimoto pearlsMikomoto Hammers Official Site
