Surfinesse in Shonan Chigasaki Southern Beach offers a half-day surfing programme, which if you’re lucky, could even come with a view of Mt Fuji. For your beginner lesson, the instructor will start off with pop-up and paddling practice before you head out to catch the waves. A class generally lasts for three hours – or until you run out of energy.
Surf lessons are held every day except Wednesdays and during bad weather. Each beginner session is kept small, with a maximum of four participants, priced at ¥8,000 per person. You can also request a private lesson at ¥12,000.
