That looks like exactly where we're heading today, right?

這看起來不就是我們今天要去的嗎？

Today we're taking a detour on the Pearl Route.

今天我們要繞道去走Pearl Route。

你可能會問，什麼是Pearl Route？

Well, it doesn't actually exist until now.

嗯，其實它直到現在才真正存在。

Today we're heading to Japan's pearl capital, going on a lesser known adventure partway between Tokyo and Osaka.

今天我們要前往日本的珍珠之都，展開一趟鮮為人知的冒險，就在東京和大阪的中間。

In fact, Mie is not just known for its physical pearls, but

事實上，三重縣不只以實體珍珠聞名，但

also for the shining spiritual pearl of Ise Jingu, Japan's most important shrine.

也因為伊勢神宮這顆閃耀的精神珍珠，日本最重要的神社。

To get there from Tokyo, I booked my train through the Shinkansen online reservation website beforehand.

從東京過去，我事先透過Shinkansen線上預約網站訂了火車票。

If you're planning a round trip back to Nagoya, there's also an Ise Shima free pass for travelers who purchase their tickets online via the Shinkansen online reservation website.

如果你打算來回名古屋，購買Shinkansen線上預約網站車票的旅客，也有Ise Shima free pass可以選擇。

It includes round trip travel between Nagoya and the Iseshima region, plus unlimited rides on Kintetsu lines around the area.

它包含名古屋到伊勢志摩地區的來回車票，還有該地區Kintetsu線的無限搭乘。

The journey to Ise Jingu is quite the adventure as we not only get to see Mount Fuji on the bullet train on the way, but

前往伊勢神宮的旅程相當精彩，我們不僅能在子彈列車上看到Mount Fuji，

for an additional fee, we also get to ride the beautiful Shimakaze sightseeing train.

額外付費的話，我們還可以搭乘美麗的Shimakaze觀光列車。

The comfy seats and two story cafe car make the Shimakaze so much better than an average journey.

舒適的座椅和兩層樓的咖啡車讓Shimakaze比一般的旅程好太多了。

The luxury train glides along the coast of Isashima, which plays a big part in the pearl culture of Mie and of course its landscape and seafood culture.

這列豪華列車沿著伊勢志摩的海岸線滑行，這對三重縣的珍珠文化、當然還有它的風景和海鮮文化都扮演了重要角色。

I may be speeding towards Ise Jingu on this train, but

我可能正搭著這班列車快速前往伊勢神宮，但

back in the Edo period and before, people would have walked trails from all over Japan to get to this spiritual pearl.

回到Edo period或更早的時候，人們會從日本各地走小徑來抵達這顆精神珍珠。

This was and still is the most important shrine in Japan because it enshrines Amaterasu, the original ancestor of Japan's imperial family, and

這座神社至今仍是日本最重要的神社，因為它供奉著日本皇室的始祖天照大神，

to put it simply, the highest deity in the Shinto religion.

簡單來說，就是神道教裡最高的神祇。

Locals too would make the visit to the shrine and divers would even bring their offerings from the sea as part of a deep rooted tradition.

當地的居民也會來參拜，潛水員甚至會將海中的供品帶到這裡，這是根深蒂固的傳統。

That connection between the ocean and the divine is what still defines this region today.

海洋與神聖之間的連結，至今仍定義著這個地區。

With the shrine's historic importance, it's not surprising that a town full of food and entertainment came about centuries ago to cater to the many travelers making the important large scale pilgrimage.

由於神社歷史悠久，幾個世紀前為了迎合前來進行重要大型朝聖的眾多旅客，一個充滿美食和娛樂的城鎮應運而生，這點並不令人意外。

these mass visits were like an early version of mass tourism, so business was booming.

這些大規模的參拜就像早期的大眾旅遊一樣，生意興隆。

I've got a seafood dinner lined up for me this evening, so I was excited to find out that a different kind of specialty dish developed along with the town's success called Ise Udon.

今晚我有一頓海鮮大餐等著我，所以我很高興得知，隨著城鎮的成功，一種叫做Ise Udon的特色料理也發展了出來。

And this, like special soy soup has so much more depth than a normal udon that I've had before.

而這個，就像特製的醬油湯一樣，比我以前吃過的普通烏龍麵有深度多了。

Because there were so many pilgrims to feed, the noodles were constantly kept simmering and were very soft, making them gentle on tired travelers stomachs.

因為有太多香客需要餵食，麵條會持續燉煮，變得非常軟，對疲憊旅人的胃很溫和。

Oharaimachi is lined with historical shops and businesses, giving hints of what it was like in its heyday of the Edo period.

Oharaimachi 裡林立著歷史悠久的商店和店家，讓人得以一窺江戶時代全盛時期的樣貌。

But among all that, there are also a surprising number of modern shops and restaurants too.

但其中，也有令人驚訝的現代商店和餐廳。

I guess all that salty udon worked up a thirst because it feels like it's time for Isekadoya beer.

我想是那些鹹鹹的烏龍麵讓我口渴了，感覺是時候來杯 Isekadoya 的啤酒了。

If the gods at Ise Jingu get sake, I think I'm allowed a cheeky beer.

如果伊勢神宮的神明能喝到日本酒，我想我也可以來杯偷偷的啤酒。

If you can make it through the excitement of the bustling street to the southern end of Oharaimachi, you'll find the calming presence of Ujibashi Bridge.

如果你能穿過熱鬧街道的喧囂，抵達 Oharaimachi 的南端，你會發現宇治橋寧靜的存在。

This is where visitors cross from the physical world into the spiritual realm of Ise Shrine.

這裡就是參拜者從現實世界進入伊勢神宮的靈性領域的入口。

Ise Jingu is actually a collection of over a hundred shrines in the Ise area.

伊勢神宮其實是伊勢地區一百多個神社的總稱。

And the most sacred of them all is the innermost shrine, Niku.

而其中最神聖的，就是最內部的「內宮」。

Niku holds this reputation because it is dedicated to the sun goddess Amaterasu, the highest deity of the Shinto religion.

這裡之所以享有盛名，是因為它供奉著太陽女神 Amaterasu，也就是 Shinto religion 中最高的神祇。

This was decided as the permanent spot for the deity's worship before any of the outer shrines under the Ise Jingu umbrella came to be.

在伊勢神宮體系下的任何外宮建立之前，這裡就已經被選為神明永久祭祀的地點。

Up these stairs we can see an example of Shinmezukuri, one of the oldest styles of shrine architecture.

沿著這階梯往上，我們可以看到神明造（Shinmezukuri）的例子，這是最古老的神社建築風格之一。

這可以追溯到一千五百多年前。

The site is believed to have been founded over 2000 years ago.

據信這裡的歷史可以追溯到兩千多年前。

Here there are two identical plots of land next to each other, one with a shrine building and one without.

這裡有兩塊一模一樣的土地相鄰，一塊有神社建築，另一塊則沒有。

Every 20 years, the shrine is rebuilt on its adjacent site.

每隔二十年，神社就會在旁邊的空地上重建。

But to continue on our Pearl Route now I'm going to rest my feet on the pearl shuttle over to my hotel.

但為了繼續我們的 Pearl Route，我現在要搭乘 pearl shuttle 到飯店休息一下。

It wouldn't be right to visit the Pearl Route without a seaside hotel.

來到 Pearl Route，當然不能錯過海景飯店。

I love it when we can share places like this.

當我們能分享這樣的地方時，我真的很開心。

And where there are pearls, there is, of course, seafood.

而且有珍珠的地方，當然少不了海鮮。

And what better place to have seafood than where you have such a great view of the sea.

而在能欣賞如此美景的地方享用海鮮，還有什麼比這更好的呢？

I've been looking forward to this all day.

Today we're going to see the sea people of Ise.

今天我們要去看看伊勢的海女。

It sounds like we're going to see some mythical mermaids.

聽起來我們要去看神話中的美人魚了。

These incredible women are called Ama, literally sea woman.

這些令人驚豔的女性叫做「海女」，字面上的意思就是「海上的女人」。

And they dive in and out of the water water over 100 times.

而且她們一天要潛水進出水面超過一百次。

A day in minimal gear, they free dive depths of up to 15 meters or more, going to great lengths to retrieve the elusive jewels of the sea pearl oysters as well as seafood.

她們只穿著最少的裝備，徒手潛到十五公尺或更深的海裡，費盡心思尋找珍貴的海珍珠貝以及海鮮。

There are a few places around Mia to see the divers in action, and

在鳥羽附近有幾個地方可以看到她們下水錶演，

we'll actually show you three of them, so you can take your pick.

我們今天就帶大家去其中三個，讓你可以自己選一個。

This morning, we're starting with a boat ride from Kash Kojima.

今天早上，我們要從賢島搭船出發。

Records of ama diving go back to the year 927, and

海女潛水的紀錄可以追溯到西元九二七年，

they were traditionally tasked with collecting seafood and bringing abalone for shrines and emperors.

她們傳統上負責採集海鮮，並為神社和天皇採集鮑魚。

Diving for pearls was not that common until Mikimoto Kokichi came along to produce the first ever cultured pearl in 1893.

直到西元一八九三年，御木本幸吉成功培育出第一顆珍珠，潛水採珠才變得比較普遍。

This innovation resulted in a much bigger demand for ama and in great success for Mikimoto, who established the Mikimoto Pearl island that we'll see tomorrow.

這項創新讓海女的需求大增，也讓御木本大獲成功，建立了我們明天會參觀的御木本珍珠島。

To this day, the divers free dive without the use of any scuba gear or air tanks.

直到今天，她們潛水採集時，還是沒有使用任何水肺裝備或氧氣瓶。

Sadly, I don't think I'll qualify as an ammodiver anytime soon, so I'm doing the next best pearl harvesting.

唉，我看我短期內是當不了潛水採珠人了，所以我就來做次級的採珠體驗囉。

I've got to admit, this is not something I ever anticipated doing in my life, so I have no idea what to expect when choosing the oyster.

說真的，我從沒想過人生會有這一天，所以選牡蠣時我也不知道會發生什麼。

There's no way to tell what kind of pearl is hidden inside, but

裡面藏著什麼樣的珍珠，完全無法預知，但是

Apparently, blue pearls are quite rare, so I better treat this with care.

聽說藍珍珠很稀有，我得好好對待它才行。

The pearl is so small and smooth, I was scared it was going to fly away.

珍珠好小好光滑，我怕它會飛走。

After learning all about the pearl process, especially how different each pearl can be once you open the oyster, I feel especially attached to this one and have a complete, completely different view on buying pearl jewelry.

瞭解了整個珍珠的過程，尤其是打開牡蠣後每顆珍珠的獨特性，讓我對這顆珍珠特別有感情，也對購買珍珠飾品有了全新的看法。

Honestly, I know it's a bit off the beaten path, but

說實話，我知道這有點冷門，但是

if you really want to understand and appreciate pearls, Shinju no Sato is the place to go.

如果你真的想了解和欣賞珍珠，真珠之裡絕對是必去之地。

It's not just pearls that ama harvest though, but also delicious seafood.

不過，海女們採集的也不只是珍珠，還有美味的海鮮喔。

On the southern side of the peninsula, about 3km away, Satoumiyan is a special spot where you can interact with the ama who can cook fresh seafood right in front of you.

在半島南邊約 3 公里處，有座裡亞麻，那裡有個很特別的地方，可以跟海女互動，她們會在妳面前現煮新鮮的海鮮。

Given that these activities aren't super close together, though, for me, this is enough for one day.

考量到這些活動之間的距離，對我來說，這樣安排一天的行程就差不多了。

But if you want to squeeze in more activities or add another day to your trip, there are plenty of other outdoorsy things to do, like cycling tours or going for a hike near the Yokoyama observation deck.

但如果你想多安排一些活動，或是多安排一天行程，這裡還有很多戶外的選擇，像是自行車導覽，或是到橫山展望臺附近健行。

Today, we're heading to the famous Mikimoto Pearl Island.

今天我們要去著名的御木本珍珠島。

Mikimoto Kokichi, alongside the amadivers, produced the world's first Ever cultured pearl right here on this very island in 1890.

御木本幸吉和潛水採珠女們，在 1890 年於這個島上，成功培育出世界上第一顆珍珠。

Three years later, in 1929, when Mikimoto had become a very rich man off the back of his pillow pearl business, he bought the island and developed it as a place to demonstrate pearl cultivation.

三年後，也就是 1929 年，御木本先生靠著枕頭珍珠生意賺進大把鈔票，他買下了這個島，並將它開發成展示珍珠養殖的地方。

I told you we'd see the amadivers in action in three different spots.

我說過，我們會在三個不同的地方看到海女們的表演。

If you can't make it all the way out to Kashkojima or Satorumiyan, Mikimoto Pearl island is much more easily accessible.

如果你沒辦法走到賢島或裡亞麻，御木本珍珠島就方便多了。

The ama dive at set times each day for about a 10, 10 minute performance.

海女們每天會在固定時間下水錶演，大約 10 分鐘。

If I'm honest, I've been wondering this entire time where I could shop for pearls without harvesting them myself.

老實說，我從頭到尾都在想，要去哪裡買珍珠，而不是自己去採。

it wouldn't be a Golden Route detour if I didn't at least take you back to the Golden Route.

如果我沒有至少帶你們回到 golden route，那就不算繞道去 golden route 了。

So let's head back to one of those golden spots, Osaka.

所以，我們就回到其中一個黃金景點，大阪吧。

The reason I've ended my detour at Mikimoto island is because it's super easy to head to Osakanamba Station from here.

我之所以把繞道行程結束在御木本珍珠島，是因為從這裡去 Osakanamba Station 超級方便的。

You just go to Toba Station and it's one train all the way.

你只要到 Toba Station，搭一班車就到了。

Of course, it's also easy to head back to Nagoya or Tokyo from here too, if that's the route you're going for.

當然，從這裡回名古屋或東京也很方便，如果你們是走那條路線的話。
