答志島

答志島は、鳥羽港から船でおよそ25分のところにあります。答志島の海は何世紀にもわたって島民の暮らしを支えてきました。村の路地の迷路は、伝統的な漁村の日常生活を垣間見せてくれます。島の主な産業のひとつはワカメの塩漬けの生産で、昔から一貫して伝統的な方法で収穫と加工が行われています。ここでは、10代の若者が修養のために地元の漁師と生活の一部をともにする「寝屋子制度」が今でも実践されています。


Toshijima Island

The island of Toshijima is roughly 25 minutes by ferry from Toba port. The sea has provided residents with their livelihood for centuries, and the maze of alleyways in the village offers visitors a glimpse into the everyday life of a traditional fishing community. One of the island’s main industries is the production of salted wakame seaweed, which is still harvested and processed using traditional methods. The neyako system, in which teenage boys are sent to live part-time with local fishermen for training, is still practiced here.
