Marine Day is celebrated with various water-related events and activities. Here’s how Japanese people typically celebrate this holiday:
Beach Visits: Many families take advantage of the summer weather to visit beaches. Popular activities include swimming, snorkeling, surfing, diving and FISHING. Unfortunately, however, most parts of Japan are forecasted to have rainy or cloudy conditions this year.
Aquarium Events: National aquariums often host special events related to water and marine life, providing educational and entertaining programs for visitors.

Japan is a country surrounded by the sea, and people are aware of the fear of the sea, such as tsunamis, and also have a strong interest in marine environmental conservation. When people go fishing, they do not leave their trash on the beach, and they take it home. This is common fisherman's etiquette in Japan. "Leaving there cleaner than when you arrived." Most Japanese are taught this phrase in elementary school.
