A unique experience worth coming for! - Reiko San is a spritely lady who is 90 something years young and welcomed us with a delicious charcoal baked seafood meal. We learn much about the tough life of Ama divers in the past. With most younger women grappling with the challenge of raising children and other jobs, it appears this legacy faces an equally tough outlook ahead as there may not be any divers to replace those retired 🥲🥲
