Ama fishing has survived for centuries on the Shima Peninsula mostly because the ama divers have protected the resources of their waters in a sustainable way, by limiting their fishing season and regulating the catch.
For travelers in Japan, we would like to introduce some tools to get the latest information in case of emergency.

According to the survey of Tripadvisor(c) released on December 1st 2020, Shima city was chosen as the best tourist destination in Japan!
This survey was reflecting the recent trend of domestic travelers who prefer to avoid busy places to hot springs, outdoor activities, and walking in nature.
The ranking is as below;
The result was based on the replies from 3429 people of USA, UK, Italy, Australia, Japan, and Singapore, and the data from search outcome and hotel-reservations between December 2020 to January 2021.
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic and Japan’s Go To Travel Campaign, the major hotels and ryokans in Shima city are almost fully booked on weekends lately.
Because Shima is rich in nature, and there are many options for seafood and outdoor activities such as canoeing and fishing, it becomes more attractive tourist destination for domestic travelers.

‘Ama’ or ‘Ama-san’, as known as female skin divers, are traditionally women’s occupation in Japan.
Many of the Women who were born in fishing villages started diving from early age, and became Ama-san to catch a variety of seafoods to make their livelihood.
Even after they got married and became mothers, those women could dive into the sea and earned a lot of money. That helped women be independent and they worked proudly as important income earner of the family.
After the economic growth, the number of Ama-san got decreased dramatically. Some fishing villages have not a single Ama anymore, and the tradition completely disappeared.
However, in Shima city, there are approximately 230 women who work as Ama (2018).
And there are some places that visitors can meet and talk with those real Ama-san while having excellent grilled seafood inside a cozy atmospheric wooden hut.
At Ama Hut SATOUMIAN, nice and chatty Ama women will welcome visitors and tell their stories about daily work and tradition. It’s a very unique experience that we want anyone to try.

Many of you, travelers from overseas who have ever visited Japan during mid-summer, often say “I’ll never come back here in summer” due to the extreme humidity in Japan.
However, once you experienced Japanese Autumn, I’m sure you’ll fall in love with this country again.
The unpleasant humidity is completely disappeared now, and clear blue sky and colorful Autumn leaves feast your eyes.
To enjoy such a great weather and nice temperature, today, I’d like to introduce you ‘Daio-saki Lighthouse (大王埼灯台)’.
The pure-white building stands at the top of a hill, so, you just need to take a little walk to get there.
But trust me, it is truly worth visiting.
You can actually go into the lighthouse building.
The path inside the lighthouse is quite narrow and steep, and since there’s no window while you are walking upward. so, you may feel uncomfortable about the process.
But once you arrive at the top of the lighthouse, the world you see will be completely different.
The horizon shines in front of your eyes and it’s far, far away. And the horizontal line is not flat, and you’ll just realize that this planet is truly round.
Also, on the way to daio-saki Lighthouse, I recommend you to walk around the town and the coastline. The atmosphere of the small fishing village is so cool, and you’ll find old days’ nostalgia still exists in real life now.
