Ise-Shima National Park Ecotourism/Nature Experience Tourist Map

You can experience a variety of eco tours where you can enjoy the nature and culture of Toba Bay that stretches out before your eyes, and meet the people who live there. All of our staff are women, and we hold a number of experience programs that are appealing to women, such as the ``Ama Country Spiritual Tour,'' which includes a visit to Ishigami-san which makes AmaHut（Amagoya）'s wishes come true, and an ama diver hut experience, and the ``Toba Kitchen Tsumamigui Walking.'' I am. In the upcoming season, we have a lot of fun programs such as ``Wakame cutting and freshly caught seaweed shabu-shabu'' and ``Ise lobster cooking university.''

Off the coast TobaCity, there are remote islands such as Toshijima, Kamishima, Sugashima, and Sakatejima, and municipal liners depart from each of them from Toba Marine Terminal. The people living on these islands have continued to live their lives in close connection with the sea. In addition to fishing experiences and programs where you can catch and observe sea creatures, the island's travel agencies offer a wide range of experience courses where you can interact with local people, such as the ``Back Alley Snack Eating Experience'' and the `` AmaHut（Amagoya）Experience,'' which are gaining popularity. I am. Experience first-hand the fishing village culture of a remote island that has been cultivated over a long period of time.

B&Bs and inns on Toshijima offer experiential learning about the Neyako System for junior high school students. The neyako system is a system unique to Toshijima that has been designated as an intangible cultural property TobaCity. Boys who graduate from junior high school are entrusted with caretakers in the community, and they live in a group with the caretaker as the neyaya parent (master). During the experiential learning, the students are divided into classes by gender and live in separate guesthouses on the island. Through experiences such as life, work, and fishing on the island, students will learn about kindness, camaraderie, the importance of the environment, and a sense of humanity.

Ago Bay has calm waves throughout the year. You can experience marine leisure by riding a sea kayak or water bowl on the calm sea. Sea kayaking, in particular, is a slow way to travel around the rich ocean where pearls grow, weaving between large and small islands, and is extremely popular with many repeat visitors. A guide is included, so it's safe even for beginners.

There are also many other activities such as walking with a guide through historical fishing villages and beautiful seaside scenery, mountain biking, and seasonal experience programs, allowing you to fully experience Shima's nature.

MinamiiseTown to west, with the Kuroshio Current flowing right in front of it. It was dotted with many deep coves, making it an ideal base for fishing. It is a town with a thriving fishing industry, with bonito fishing being popular since ancient times, as well as sea bream, yellowtail, and tuna farming. The climate is warm, and mandarin oranges are widely cultivated on the mountain slopes.

In order to let as many people as possible experience and learn about MinamiiseTown 's excellent agriculture, forestry, and fishing, we have created an experience program with local people and are marketing it as ``Minamiise Experience World.'' Focusing on experiences to fully enjoy the nature of MinamiiseTown, such as ``feeding farmed sea bream'', ``fishing on a boat'', and ``mandarin orange picking'', we also offer sea bream experiences such as ``grilled sea bream in a salt pot'' and ``tekone sushi making experience''. You can also try your hand at cooking using the ingredients.

The coastal area of TobaCity and ShimaCity is the area where Ama fishing is most popular in Japan. It also has the largest number of ama divers in Japan. There are `` AmaHut（Amagoya）'' scattered throughout the area where the Ama divers change into Isogi and warm up after fishing. What Ama divers enjoy the most is making a bonfire to warm up their bodies after fishing, grilling freshly caught seafood, and chatting.

We started the `` AmaHut（Amagoya）Experience'' with the desire for tourists to enjoy that fun as well. You can experience the `` AmaHut（Amagoya）Experience'' in various locations in Toba and Shima cities, where you grill fresh seafood just caught by Ama divers right in front of your eyes and have fun talking with them. Below, we will introduce the main AmaHut（Amagoya）experience facilities.
