Pearl Legacy Tour
The Birthplace of Cultured Pearls
Nestled in the tranquil waters of Ago Bay, Ise-Shima, lies the birthplace of Japan’s cultured pearls — and the heart of Pearl FALCO’s legacy. The Pearl Legacy Tour invites you to step into this world where nature, craftsmanship, and tradition come together to create one of Japan’s most cherished treasures.
A Journey Beyond Jewelry

From serene oyster rafts floating on the bay to the quiet precision of skilled farmers, you’ll witness the dedication it takes to nurture a single pearl.
Experience the rare and captivating moment of implantation — the very beginning of a pearl’s life — and learn how each oyster is tended with profound respect for nature.
