JNTO guide naming Nebukawa and its submerged train-platform attraction.
Dive Spot Guide•
Nebukawa
Odawara shore dive with submerged train platforms.
Beach-entry heritage dive with train-platform remains, macro life, and a current-influenced shoreline profile.
About Nebukawa
Nebukawa is an Odawara shore dive built around the submerged former railway station and the train platforms lost in the 1923 earthquake. It is a beach-entry heritage site with a gentle macro-to-pelagic profile, where the Kuroshio current can shape the water and seasonal visibility can change quickly. Plan the dive around the platform route and the conditions, because the site is best when you treat it as a history dive with marine life, not just a scenic reef stop.
