Japan - Pearl production
T/I: 11:16:50
Legend says pearls are moon drops, or mermaid tears. Three hundred kilometres southwest of Tokyo lies the birthplace of cultured pearls - Ago Bay, in the Ise Shima National Park. The pearls produced here on Pearl Island are world famous. Natural pearls are very rare. The chance of finding one is roughly one in ten thousand. As a result pearl oysters were harvested to the brink of extinction in the late 1800s.
Then, in 1893, Japanese merchant Kokichi Mikimoto succeeded in growing the first cultivated pearl in the world. His methods are still used. The young oysters are grown in the sea until they are large enough to begin pearl production. When a foreign object such as a grain of sand enters the oyster's shell by chance the oyster secretes mother-of-pearl to coat the object and a natural pearl is created. Mikimoto succeeded in devising a way to place a spherical piece of shell inside the pearl oyster's shell.
It takes two or three years before a cultured pearl is complete. Japan's current output of cultured pearls amounts to 80% of production worldwide. Even with today's advanced methods only 25% of oysters
artificially treated yield cultured pearls. Then only about 5% are considered top quality.
However cultivators are powerless to influence the colour of the pearl. There are four types - gold, silver, white and, rarest of all, pink.

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!!!!
Kobe, Japan - Akashi Kaikyō Bridge (2019)
The Akashi Kaikyō Bridge (明石海峡大橋 Akashi Kaikyō Ōhashi) is a suspension bridge, which links the city of Kobe on the Japanese mainland of Honshu to Iwaya on Awaji Island. It crosses the busy Akashi Strait (Akashi Kaikyō in Japanese) as part of the Honshu–Shikoku Highway. It was completed in 1998, and has the longest central span of any suspension bridge in the world, at 1,991 metres (6,532 ft; 1.237 mi). It is one of the key links of the Honshū–Shikoku Bridge Project, which created three routes across the Inland Sea.
Kobe (神戸市 Kōbe-shi, Japanese: [koːꜜbe]) is the sixth-largest city in Japan and the capital city of Hyōgo Prefecture. It is located on the southern side of the main island of Honshū, on the north shore of Osaka Bay and about 30 km (19 mi) west of Osaka. With a population around 1.5 million, the city is part of the Keihanshin metropolitan area along with Osaka and Kyoto.
The earliest written records regarding the region come from the Nihon Shoki, which describes the founding of the Ikuta Shrine by Empress Jingū in AD 201. For most of its history, the area was never a single political entity, even during the Tokugawa period, when the port was controlled directly by the Tokugawa shogunate. Kobe did not exist in its current form until its founding in 1889. Its name comes from kanbe (神戸, an archaic title for supporters of the city's Ikuta Shrine). Kobe became one of Japan's designated cities in 1956.
Kobe was one of the cities to open for trade with the West following the 1853 end of the policy of seclusion and has since been known as a cosmopolitan and nuclear-free zone port city. While the 1995 Great Hanshin earthquake diminished much of Kobe's prominence as a port city, it remains Japan's fourth-busiest container port. Companies headquartered in Kobe include ASICS, Kawasaki Heavy Industries, and Kobe Steel, as well as over 100 international corporations with Asian or Japanese headquarters in the city, such as Eli Lilly and Company, Procter & Gamble, Boehringer Ingelheim, and Nestlé. The city is the point of origin and namesake of Kobe beef, as well as the site of one of Japan's most famous hot spring resorts, Arima Onsen.

Meriken Park,Harbor Land,Kobe,Japan
Experience the history and future of the sea, ships, and ports.
With its characteristic white space frame roof giving the impression of sailboat racing across the vast ocean, the Kobe Maritime Museum offers a look at the international port city of Kobe. Under the concept of, “Born from the sea and port, sailing into the future with Kobe,” the Maritime Museum opened in 1987 to celebrate the Port of Kobe’s 120th anniversary, marking 120 years since the modern Port of Kobe was opened in 1868. Offering a glimpse at ship construction and a look at port facilities and the appeal of cruise ships, the museum is a place where visitors can experience the history and future of the seas, ships, and ports. Through resources including actual navigation instruments, riggings, and ship records, diorama models, videos, and graphics, visitors are introduced to the past, present, and future of the seas, ships, and ports around Kobe in an easy-to-understand way. Also, a part of the Meriken wharf, damaged in the Great Hanshin earthquake, is preserved as the Port of Kobe Earthquake Memorial Park. This memorial park acts to convey the messages learned from the earthquake to future generations. Opened in 2006, Kawasaki Good Times World can also be found right nearby. This corporate museum is operated by Kawasaki Heavy Industries, which has helped the city advance since the Port of Kobe first opened.

Kobe Overseas Chinese History Museum
神戸港の開港（1868年）とともに居留地には欧米人が商館を開きました。彼等とともに長崎や上海、香港などから神戸にやってきた華僑も、居留地の周辺に貿易商館を構え、中国人街を形成していきました。それがいまの南京町です。
Nankin-machi originated in 1868, when Kobe's port was opened to foreigners including Chinese immigrants from Guangdong and Fujian. The newcomers settled in the western end of Kobe's foreign district, which soon became the focal point for subsequent Chinese migrants. During that time, the Chinese people were referred to as people from Nanking by the Japanese, hence the name Nankinmachi (Nanking Town). By the early 1920s, Nankinmachi was a vibrant area bustling with businesses, restaurants, and homes. That all changed, however, during the next two decades when many Chinese returned to China in response to Japan's expansion of Northeastern China, the Second Sino-Japanese War, and World War II. Destroyed during the allied bombings of Kobe, Nankinmachi was re-built after the war by the remaining Chinese community that stayed behind. In 1995, it was severely damaged during the Great Hanshin earthquake. It was quickly rebuilt, and once again thrives as a center of Chinese culture and activity throughout the Kansai region. There are currently 10,000 people residing in Nankin-machi.
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.
