Ishigami-san located at Shinmei-JinjaShrine in osatsu cho, TobaCity City, is said to "always make one woman's wish come true" and is a very popular spot for girls' trips! We interviewed a girls' trip where they visited Ishigami-san san with local Ama divers and enjoyed an experience plan where they enjoyed sweets at an old folk house.
In the "Spend time with Ama-san Ishigami-san" experience plan, you will not only visit with the ama divers, but also have a girls' night out afterwards. Let's have a chat while tasting Japanese sweets!
Why not experience a special holiday with a plan packed with relaxation and refreshment? It doesn't matter if it's your first time talking to or meeting an ama diver. All of the Ama divers are friendly and easy to talk to, and their stories are very interesting.
You may be a little nervous at first, but once you realize it, you'll be able to smile naturally. that? You will feel so calm that you will feel as if you have known each other for a long time.
Here you can learn about the traditional Ama culture. The culture of Ama divers was designated as a national important intangible folk cultural property in March 2017.
Ama divers are independent women with special diving skills. There are many interesting exhibits, including dolls and panels that recreate the underwater work of these women, which you can't usually see.
It is said to be a talisman that protects divers who dive into the sea from being drawn into the Ryugu. In the town of osatsu, you can see this symbol everywhere, including on signboards and shops.
First, let's visit Ishigami-san. Write your wish on pink wish paper
. The Ama divers will be waiting for you, so don't panic and think carefully. What kind of wish should I write?
When it's busy, there may be a bit of a wait at this corner. If you go a little deeper, there is another room on the left where you can write your wishes.
Ama divers who lived in the sea prayed for their safety during their daily diving work and for their safe return home. Stress and anxiety are common in modern times. The desire for safety, peace of mind, and happiness is always the same.
I have only one wish. Since so many women visit the shrine and offer their wishes, the gods must be busy making their wishes come true.
There are endless stories about Ama divers. It's fun to learn things you don't know. The Ama divers will tell you about the town of osatsu, the history of the Ama divers, and their encyclopedic knowledge.
God, please grant my wish. I hope you receive my sincere thoughts. Two bows, two claps, one bow...
Which one should I choose? This small and cute amulet is perfect not only for yourself, but also as a souvenir for your friends who couldn't come with you, that child chasing their dreams, that child you have an unrequited love for, or your mother or grandmother.
It is tied in a way called Kanai-musubi, and a genuine Akoya pearl is attached to the knot.
Pearls are said to improve luck in love and protect those who hold them from accidents and disasters. In addition, the stone words of pearls include health, longevity, and wealth. It is associated with strength and richness. It seems to be quite the strongest protective stone.
In order to protect themselves from danger, the divers who dived into the sea drew star-shaped saeman and grid-shaped doman on their swimsuits. It is one of the forms of prayer of Ama divers who lived in nature.
If you walk a little deeper, you will see the roots of a majestic large tree. It is said to be good for praying for long life.
It is a camphor tree that has spread its roots and lived for a long time, so it may bring good luck. Let's go visit here as well.
Since this is a great opportunity, let's ask about things that are good for your body, things that make you beautiful, and things that are just delicious. What is the beauty secret of Ama divers who have such glowing skin?
Kotokoroten, which goes well with the sweetness of kinako, is made from 100% seaweed Amakusa caught by Ama divers! Seaweed is also good for your body. It's a healthy snack.
This 80-year-old traditional house was originally inhabited by Ama divers. Now that it has been renovated and opened, it has become a space where you can take a breather as Gozaya, a diver's home that retains the atmosphere of the Showa era.
There are many things that remind us of life back then, such as small windows in the ceiling that let in light and wooden boxes placed in the corners of the rooms. Ama divers will explain each step.
When you think of Tokoroten, you might imagine that it is extruded and thin, but the Tokoroten served here comes out in generous chunks and is very filling! I feel like I can eat as much as I want.
The Ama divers also seem to enjoy talking with customers. They seem to have been able to share in the powerful energy of the Ama divers who bravely fish against the sometimes harsh nature of nature.
Sea women are strong, kind, and beautiful.
A seaweed called ``Arame'' caught in osatsu. It is said to make your skin clearer. It is highly nutritious and there is no problem even if you are on a diet. It's the perfect souvenir for a girls' night out.
It started with a wish, followed by a spell, Japanese sweets, a girls' night out at an old folk house, chatting, and a fun time filled with all the things girls love.
You can even receive a souvenir on your way home. You can also shop for other seafood, dried foods, and other items that may be beneficial to your health.
Why not spend an exciting time with the friendly and cheerful Ama divers?
