This is a special and luxurious experience plan to visit a real female diver's hut. You will enjoy fresh seafood grilled over charcoal right in front of you by female divers who continue the traditional free diving fishing method, while listening to them talk about the actual fishing process and how they interact with the sea. The time spent around the fire, talking and tasting in a rustic hut with the scent of the sea wafting will be a unique cultural experience that you can't get anywhere else. In 2023, female divers' fishing techniques will be registered as a "Japan Heritage" and it is a rare fishing method only found in Japan and Korea. This is an extremely rare private plan that allows you to experience the "real sea" with all five senses while experiencing the life of female divers.

[Regional common coupons (electronic only) are available! ] It is an experience to make a traditional craft "Chinkoro" handed down in Tokamachi. [What is “Chinkoro”? 】Every Tokamachi citizen has made “Chinkoro”, a small colorful doll made of rice flour. The word chinkoro means “puppy” and is often made in the shape of a puppy or the Chinese zodiac of the year. It is made around January every year and displayed in the house, but because it is made of rice flour paste, it cracks and breaks in a few weeks. It is said that the more broken pieces there are, the better the luck. The culture of making chinkoro is said to have started in the Edo period, but the original origin is not well understood. [What you can do in this experience] In this program, you will make Tokamachi's traditional craft Chinkoro while being taught by a local Chinkoro craftsman. You can make your own original penis, such as anime characters, mascots, animals, etc., regardless of the traditional puppy or zodiac. It is an experience that everyone can enjoy regardless of age or gender. Please make sure to make a lucky charm, Chinkoro, as a souvenir. *Only Japanese and English are supported.
