He has successfully cultivated pearls since 1893 which was named as “mabes”, but after thorough trials and dedication, Mikimoto finally was able to harness perfect pearls.

The pearls at Mikimoto Pearl Island have essential workers that play the very important role in pearl production. These female divers are called Ama divers. Visitors have the opportunity to watch these divers perform from boats provided by the facility while listening to the guide as it explains the divers’ roles in various languages. Ama divers ensure that the pearls are not washed away by the tides especially during typhoons. They dive into the deep sea to transfer the pearls into a safer location.
