〜Delivering the warmth of the streets and people〜 A new web media "Shonan diary" that captures the charm of Shonan and Kamakura from a "lifestyle perspective" launches on February 3, 2026!
We are pleased to announce that "Shonan diary," a new web media that records the charm of Shonan and Kamakura's streets and people from a "daily life perspective," will officially launch on February 3, 2026 (Tuesday).
"Shonan diary" is a web media that focuses on the "warmth" found in the people who live and work in these streets, as well as in everyday scenes and words, and records Shonan and Kamakura from a "daily life perspective."
Rather than limiting ourselves to tourism information and surface-level attractions, we will capture the emotions and memories born from daily life and the atmosphere that flows through the streets, and tell the stories of the streets and their people like the pages of a diary.
Moving forward, we aim to create content that shapes the charm of this area together with everyone who lives in Shonan and Kamakura. We look forward to your continued support of "Shonan diary."

Background of Media Launch
The Shonan and Kamakura area is often described through "easily understandable charm"—the ocean, nature, and historically preserved streetscapes—that everyone immediately envisions.
However, when you truly delve deeper into this city, what lingers in your heart are often much more "humble moments."
"The day my heart felt suddenly lighter gazing at the casual morning sea."
"The familiar path to the park I walked alongside my child."
"A small shop that makes you want to say 'I'm home,' almost without thinking."
And the warmth of the people of the street, something conveyed without words. The charm that quietly accumulates in daily life has not been adequately put into language until now.
"Shonan diary" aims to be a media that, from the perspective of "people living in this city," captures the emotions and atmosphere dwelling in the everyday and records them with care.
"May someone's one day become another person's opportunity to think, 'Maybe this city is pretty nice.'" Aiming to create such small chains, "Shonan diary" begins today.

Future Outlook
"Shonan diary" stands in the perspective of people living in this city and wishes to be a "place for recording the city"—like the pages of a diary—where we preserve emotions and memories from everyday life through words and photographs.
Going forward, we plan to carefully weave together individual landscapes and stories together with local writers, photographers, and people living in Shonan and Kamakura.
Should the records we weave become "a nostalgic place" for someone in the future, or perhaps a gateway to "a city where I'd like to live" for someone, the entire editorial team would be truly delighted.
