Ama Viewing Platform

· 鳥羽市, Mie

The Ama Viewing Platform offers visitors a unique opportunity to observe Japan's traditional female divers, known as ama, who have been harvesting seafood using ancient free-diving techniques for over 2,000 years. From this vantage point, you can watch these skilled divers plunge into the ocean to collect abalone, sea urchins, and other treasures from the sea floor. The platform provides an educational and cultural experience showcasing a disappearing way of life that has been passed down through generations of coastal women.

💡 Tips for Visitors

Visit during the ama diving season (typically July to September) for the best chance to see divers in action. Bring cash as many coastal viewing areas don't accept credit cards. Arrive early in the morning when diving activity is most frequent, and consider visiting nearby ama huts where you can meet the divers and enjoy freshly grilled seafood.
