Katsuura Ama Culture Experience Story

In a fishing village in Katsuura City, Chiba Prefecture, an experience program is being held where you can observe creatures on the rocky shore while hearing about ama culture from active female divers. Stories of free diving fishing shared around a charcoal fire in an ama hut convey the strength and resilience of Boso women who have lived with the sea. On the rocky shore, under the guidance of ama divers, you can observe the ecology of sea urchins and abalones. It's a precious opportunity to experience the bounty and culture of the Boso sea.
