Handmade Pearl Accessories in Toba

Toba City is the birthplace of Mikimoto pearl farming. At the experience workshop, you can enjoy the heart-pounding moment of opening Akoya oysters yourself and extracting pearls from inside. The extracted pearls are processed into accessories such as rings, pendants, and earrings on the spot. Since the quality of the pearls is unknown until you open them, there's a sense of surprise, making them popular as one-of-a-kind Ise-Shima souvenirs.
