TRAVEL JAPAN VLOG | Toba City & Mikimoto Pearl Island 鳥羽市 #6
Japan has always been one of my favorite countries to travel to whether for vacation or adventures. Well, mostly vacations. Since I have a huge fan of the Japanese delicacies and hot springs, Japan became a no brainer when it came to this long weekend in the autumn weather. Nagoya jumped to my parents as the obvious choice due to its distance from the tourists in both Tokyo and Kyoto. We prefer to spend the vacation where there are fewer crowds and trying to steal a piece of peaceful quietness from the local Japanese towns.
We travelled from the nearby towns from Yoro to Toba so to avoid the tourist groups in downtown Nagoya. Yoro was remote and beautiful with its view from above the mountain, while Toba was close to the ocean with its fame from pearl harvesting. Want to know more? Well stay tuned!

Mikimoto Pearl Island （御木本真珠島）, Toba City, Mie Prefecture, Japan
Mikimoto Pearl Island （御木本真珠島）, known as The Home of the Cultured Pearls is located south of Nagoya City, in Toba, Mie Prefecture, Japan.
Mikimoto Pearl Island is the home of the Mikimoto pearl. Pearls were cultured successfully for the first time in history in 1893 using a method developed by Kokichi Mikimoto.
The surroundings of the Island have a Kokichi Mikimoto Memorial Hall, Pearl Plaza (shop), a demonstration of how the women divers were used many years ago to dive for pearls and a GREAT pearl museum. All these are surrounded by a beautiful Ise Shima Bay.
In my opinion the Pearl Museum is the best, it explains how cultured pearls are made and how the natural pearls are made. They also have a some great collections of pearls from all over the pearl producing nations. The video inside the museum is not great but I highly recommend all of you to visit the museum and take it all in.
The Pearl Plaza has some REALLY expensive jewellery made with pearls but it also has some great inexpensive items (not jewellery but small boxes, toys etc.) made with pearls.
Hope you get a chance to visit Toba City and the Mikimoto Pearl Island in your travels in Japan. Enjoy!!!!
Women Pearl Divers of the Mikimoto Pearl Island （御木本真珠島）, Toba City, Japan
Mikimoto Pearl Island （御木本真珠島） is located south of Nagoya City, in Toba City, Mie Prefecture, Japan.
It is known as The Home of Cultured Pearls. These artificial pearls were cultured successfully for the first time in history in 1893 using a method developed by Kokichi Mikimoto.
Mr. Mikimoto has always used women divers. They worked alongside Kokichi Mikimoto from the very beginning placing mother oysters deep on the ocean floor and bringing them backup.
In this video, you can see how it was done many years ago, as the women divers of the Mikimoto Pearl Island, demonstrate pearl oyster diving.
Enjoy...
