〜Delivering the warmth of towns and people〜 New web media "Shonan diary" launches February 3, 2026! Recording the charm of Shonan and Kamakura from a "lifestyle perspective"
We are pleased to announce that "Shonan diary," a new web media that records the charm of the Shonan and Kamakura areas and their people from a "lifestyle perspective," will officially launch on Tuesday, February 3, 2026.
"Shonan diary" is a web media that focuses on the "warmth" found in the people who live and work in these areas, as well as in the everyday landscapes and words, recording the Shonan and Kamakura areas from a "lifestyle perspective."
Rather than limiting ourselves to tourist information and superficial attractions, we will capture the emotions and memories born from daily life and the atmosphere that flows through the town, weaving together stories of the town and its people like pages in a diary.
Going forward, we aim to create content that will shape the charm of this town together with all those who live in Shonan and Kamakura. We look forward to your support of "Shonan diary."

Background of Media Launch
The Shonan and Kamakura area is a town that is often described by its "easily understood charm"—the sea, nature, and historic streetscapes that everyone envisions.
However, when you actually dig deeper into this town, what stays in your heart are often more "humble moments."
"A morning by the sea that unexpectedly lifted my spirits."
"The usual path to the park, walking alongside my child."
"A small shop that makes you want to say 'I'm home' again and again."
And there is the warmth of the people in this town that comes across without words. The charm that quietly accumulates in such daily life has never been adequately expressed in words until now.
"Shonan diary" aims to be a media that captures emotions and atmosphere embedded in the everyday from "the perspective of people living in this town" and records them carefully.
"One person's day becomes a catalyst for someone else to think, 'This town might be nice.'" Aiming to create such small chains of connection, "Shonan diary" launches today.

Future Outlook
We hope "Shonan diary" will be a "place to record the town," much like a diary, where we stand in the perspective of those who live in this town and preserve the emotions and memories found in daily life through words and photographs.
Going forward, we plan to carefully weave together each landscape and story together with local writers, photographers, and people living in Shonan and Kamakura.
If these woven records become "a nostalgic place" for someone in the future, or an entrance to "a town I want to live in" for someone else, the entire editorial team would be truly delighted.
