DirectionsDirections

“Kamado” is a hut where active female shell divers take a break to recover their strength. Here you can listen to their stories while eating a meal or other refreshments.

Ishigami-san is a small shrine found along the approach to Shinmei Shrine. It is said that it will grant any woman one wish. Ishigami-san’ s charms are handmade, with purple lettering and a fabric that is likened to the clothes of the female shell divers. The charm is said to hold the spirit of Emperor Jinmu’ s mother “Princess Tamayori” . To make your dream come true, the drawstring of the charm is tied in a kanai-musubi knot.

Osatsu is the town of fishermen and women shell divers. Most women shell divers live in the Toba-Shima area. At this museum, you can feel the essence of the town through learning the history and lifestyles of Osatsu nurtured by these big-hearted women shell divers. After the museum visit, head out to tour the town and talk with the locals. You can feel the energy of the town firsthand.

Approximately 700 years ago, Emperor Go-Daigo ordered this temple to be built. Cultural assets including hand-copied Great Perfection of Wisdom Sutra from the Kamakura Era are kept there. In the temple grounds, there is a large cycad older than 700 years that bear many seeds every year. Lots of people visit this cycad as a good luck in longevity and fertility.
