The first thing I noticed about them as they approached was their skin. Smooth and pale like expensive stationary. They were wearing wetsuits and a traditional bonnet adorned with symbols. I would find out later that symbols, something similar to a hashtag but with more lines and a star, were amulets to help protect them and bring them home during their dive. The tradition of ama diving has been going on for thousands of years. These women, these mermaids, these indigienous protectors of nature, dive down to the ocean floor on a single breath and collect ingredients, like abalone, sea urchin, sea cucumbers to take back their amagoya and cook over a charcoal grill. I spent a day with them, went on the boat with them as they dove in near freezing waters, cooked with them and ate their food and basked in their kindness and ancient energy.

The ama (海女 Women divers) cooking an unsophisticated fresh and delicious seafood meal. When going to southern Mie prefecture, take some time to visit an amagoya (海女小屋 women diver's hut) along the coast. It is not only a tasty experience of fresh daily catch but one where you can learn about the livelihoods of these genuine free divers whose tradition go back more than 3,000 years. Since they do not wear oxygen tanks etc. when they dive, they will demonstrate their ISOBUE (磯笛 whistle) that they use to come up from the depths of the ocean to prevent damage to their lungs. You can also try on the traditional diving wear. I recommend that you make reservations if you plan to go. #mie #ama #diving #traveljapan #seafood #JapanRevealed #travelawesome #traveldeeper #instajapan #japon #hapon #日本 #japan #instagramjapan #explorejapan #japantrip #japantravel #japanloverme #visitjapan #japanbound #nippon #nipponlovers #jepang #japanfocus #discoverjapan #japanawaits #일본 #Япония #ประเทศญี่ปุ่น
