Surfinesse Japan in Shonan, Chigasaki, is the original English surf school near Tokyo, located just one hour by train and 15 minutes' walk from Chigasaki station to the beach. Run by expert trilingual instructors who are professional educators, the school focuses on building awareness and independence in the water rather than simply pushing students into waves. Beginner sessions are kept small — maximum four participants at JPY8,000 per person — and last approximately three hours or until energy runs out. The teaching philosophy values 'good vibes, calm mind, no aggression and arrogance,' encouraging students to make independent decisions in the water. Lessons run daily except Wednesdays. The Shonan coast is the birthplace of Japanese surf culture, offering views of Mount Fuji on clear days, a vibrant cafe scene, and excellent restaurants. Experienced surfers should note that waves tend to be small on this coast.

Guests appreciate the unique teaching philosophy focused on awareness, independence, and 'good vibes, calm mind' rather than just wave-catching. Expert trilingual instructors ensure excellent communication for international visitors. Small class sizes of maximum four students ensure personalised attention over generous three-hour sessions. The iconic Shonan coast setting — birthplace of Japanese surf culture with Mount Fuji views and vibrant cafes — provides an unmatched cultural surf experience just one hour from Tokyo.
A few people say: • Beaches get very crowded on weekends and during summer holidays.
