Ama huts are huts where divers rest their tired bodies from fishing and warm themselves by a fire. Ama huts are also where divers prepare for fishing and change their clothes. They warm themselves by putting wood in the hearth in the center of the hut and enjoy eating and chatting with each other between morning and afternoon fishing trips. The ama hut experience at Satomian is a replica of the original ama hut, where you can dine while listening to stories about ama fishing and the sea from current and retired ama divers. Open for lunch and dinner, enjoy fresh seafood caught in the sea of Iseshima while listening to the precious stories of ama divers. The food is grilled over a charcoal fire, which, combined with the atmosphere of the hut, makes it even more delicious.
