Indulge in mouthwatering grilled seafood while listening to stories from Ama Divers
Ama Hut Culinary Journey

- Region
- Tokai
- Prefecture
- Mie
Ama huts are traditional shelters where the Ama female divers rest after fishing, gathering around a central hearth to share meals and conversations while warming themselves by the fire. The Ama Hut Experience at the Satoumian hut allows you to enjoy a meal in a venue modeled after traditional Ama huts and hear stories about the sea and fishing from active Ama divers. The program offers the unique opportunity to savor fresh seafood from the waters of the Ise-Shima area while listening to the invaluable tales of the divers.
Highlights
- Experience the culture of Ama divers, one of Japan's oldest cultures also designated as a Japan Heritage, a certification system started by the Agency for Cultural Affairs that showcases Japan's unique regional culture and traditions.
- Learn how actual Ama divers experience the changes in the ocean and about their efforts to protect the marine environment, such as not harvesting abalones smaller than 10.6 cm.
- Engage in a local immersive experience within the Ise-Shima National Park.
- Interact with active Ama divers who actually dive into the sea, not actors or performers.
