I visited Mikimoto Pearl Island as a kid, but I really only remembered the statue and the Ama divers, so it was a great experience to revisit the site. Even my non-pearl friends enjoyed the museum and learning more about the cultured pearl process. We also had a very nice lunch in their restaurant.
This is the building you enter to walk across the glass bridge to the island. Through the windows, you can see the ceiling is thick with banners. I adore kid art, so this was a cheery highlight heading to the island.
It was a quiet day to visit. We pretty much had the place to ourselves.
This is the viewing area for the Ama divers
There are two showrooms. One has more affordable items and of different brands, and also various souvenirs, and the second is Mikimoto. As you can see from the signage, taking pics is widely discouraged in the sales areas.
I’ll start a new post with all the pics from the museum. These are going to be random snapshots, and several are not so great as there was a lot of glare and reflection from all the lights.
