    • This special, luxurious experience includes a visit to an authentic female diver's hut. Hear directly from female divers who continue the traditional art of free-diving fishing about their actual fishing practices and their relationship with the sea, while you savor fresh seafood grilled over charcoal right before your eyes. Gathering around a fire, chatting and tasting food in a rustic hut, with the scent of the sea in the air, is a unique cultural experience you won't find anywhere else. Female divers' fishing techniques were registered as a Japan Heritage Site in 2023, making this a rare fishing method found only in Japan and Korea. This extremely rare private plan allows you to experience the real ocean with all five senses while experiencing the lives of female divers.
