Hands-On Pearl Crafting Experience in Ise-Shima

"Yamamoto Suisan", with over 65 years of experience in pearl farming in Ago Bay - the birthplace of Akoya pearls - carries on the legacy of Kokichi Mikimoto, the founder of cultured pearls, and his desire to "share the beauty of Akoya pearls with as many people as possible." At their workshop, you can select your favorite Akoya oysters from a freshly pulled net, experience extracting pearls, and craft your own unique pearl accessories using the pearls you discover.

Pearl Extraction Experience That Colors Your Memories of Ise-Shima

The appeal of the pearl extraction experience is that you don't know what kind of pearls are inside, including their color, shape, and size, until you open the shell and take them out. Choose your favorite shellfish as if you were on a treasure hunt. In addition to being able to take the pearls home with you, you can also make them into accessories (metallic fees apply).

Worry-Free Fishing Experience in the Waters of Shima

Fishing is available from rafts moored in the calm waters of Ago Bay. Some rafts are roofed, allowing for all-weather use, even on rainy days. With gentle waves and no need to worry about seasickness, this hands-free experience is ideal for all ages. A relaxing fishing break is also recommended between pearl accessory crafting sessions - complete with rod, bait, repair kit, and bucket.
