Where Tradition Lives: The Authentic Ama Hut Experience

This is a special and luxurious experience plan to visit a real female diver's hut.

You can listen directly to the female divers who have inherited the traditional method of free diving about the fishing process and their relationship with the sea, while enjoying fresh seafood that they grill over charcoal right in front of you.
Gathering around a fire in a rustic hut with the scent of seawater in the air, chatting and savoring the food, is a unique cultural experience that you can't get anywhere else.
In 2023, the techniques of female divers will be registered as a "Japan Heritage" and it is a rare fishing method that is only found in Japan and Korea.
This extremely rare private plan allows you to experience the "real ocean" with all five senses while experiencing the life of female divers.
