[Notice] A place where tradition lives on - Authentic female diver hut experience plan now on sale

We have started selling a special experience plan called "Real Diving Lady Hut Experience Plan" that allows you to experience Shima's traditional culture with all five senses.
You will visit an actual diver's hut with a female diver and hear stories about traditional free-diving fishing while enjoying fresh seafood grilled over charcoal right in front of you. This is a luxurious experience that allows you to come face to face with the "real sea."
Gathering around a fire in a rustic hut, chatting and enjoying food is a unique cultural experience that can only be found here.
In 2023, the techniques of female divers will be registered as a "Japan Heritage", making this an extremely rare tour that allows you to experience this globally valuable fishing method.
Why not experience Shima's nature and culture for yourself?
