Japanese Pearl Farm Pictures

It doesn't bother me going into jewellery stores as I am usually well-dressed in jewellery sense, however, clothes and shoes shops, yes, as I am not a trendy stick insect :rolleyes:

Akoya Cultured Pearl Farms in Toba

Akoya Cultured Pearl Farms in Toba

I would just like to share with everybody a picture of the Akoya Pearl farms near Toba on the South Coast of Japan. The inventor of culturing pearls was from this area, Mikimoto, and there is a small island named after him which is home to a great pearl museum, which honours his contribution to the Japanese pearl industry.

There is also lot of great pearl shops along with rows of roadside traditional seafood resteraunts where you can pick the live oysters and sea snails from a tank and they will cook them for you as you talk with the locals.
