Little wonder, then, that it\u2019s steadily attracting more fans in recent years. Freedivers can swim as adeptly as fish, and they flock to&nbsp;Amami in quest of blissful moments outside of the competitive sport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.littleblue.biz\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Yuki Muto<\/a> is one such freediver. She has represented Japan in world championship tournaments and holds an official depth record of 62 meters in the Constant Weight with Fins (CTW) category. Yuki\u2019s regular visits to\u00a0Amami began about six years ago.\u00a0She made her first trip with a friend, who invited her to join a swim with whales tour, and has come migrating back to Amami\u2019s waters every year thereafter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/002-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-61058\" srcset=\"https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/002-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/002-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/002-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/002.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Yuki Muto on the way up from a dive\u2014a blissful moment of oneness with the ocean<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI had gone swimming with dolphins in Mikurajima before, but whales were an entirely different story. They were a cut above the rest, a symbol of nature itself, and I felt humbled by their overwhelming presence. That\u2019s what I found attractive about whales.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yuki lives in Hayama\u2014a marine resort area in Kanagawa Prefecture\u2014and knows the world\u2019s oceans inside out. Yet even for her,&nbsp;Amami holds a special place in her heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAmami is enchanting not only for the waters but also as an island that\u2019s the sum of the people, the food, and the nature. The sea and the mountain, and the nature and the people\u2014everything is well-proportioned and harmonious. I also like that Amami is simple and unspoiled. It\u2019s a good match with&nbsp;freediving, where you use very little equipment and rely only on your body.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In short, Amami just feels right, both underwater and on land. This sense of comfort persuaded another freediver to move to&nbsp;Amami permanently.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/amamifreediving.wixsite.com\/amami\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Arisa<\/a>, a Tokyo native, gained experience in freediving all around Asia and obtained instructor certification in 2019. She had planned to move to Bali and teach&nbsp;freediving there but&nbsp;was forced to give up the idea amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Instead, she traveled up and down Japan in search of other waters, discovered&nbsp;Amami, fell in love, and moved here in&nbsp;2021. The greatest reason she chose&nbsp;Amami as her new home was the wonderful waters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/B1290239_01-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-61062\" srcset=\"https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/B1290239_01-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/B1290239_01-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/B1290239_01-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/B1290239_01.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Arisa\u2014and her refreshing smile\u2014in front of the fish shop where she works<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAmami\u2019s waters are some of the most beautiful in the world.&nbsp;I usually dive in the gentle Oshima Strait, where it feels tremendously good to listen to the silence broken only by the sounds of the birds. Amami is still largely unexplored as a&nbsp;freediving destination, but&nbsp;I can\u2019t think of any other spot as attractive as this.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the sport of freediving, the results are a mirror of the diver\u2019s state of mind. Holding your breath&nbsp;in extreme conditions, conserving oxygen, and finishing the dive safely requires a calm mind above all else. To this end, it\u2019s important to create and maintain comfort not only during training but also in all aspects of your daily life. This starts with the place you live, and Amami is the perfect place, says Arisa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYour whole lifestyle affects your performance. Right now, I\u2019m totally stress free in the sense that I do only what I love both in work and in private. I\u2019m careful about what I eat too, and in Amami, it\u2019s easy to find food that you can trace back to the source, like the vegetables that the neighbors give me, and the fish that I catch myself. I feel I\u2019m in a very good environment. My lifestyle was the opposite when I was working at a company in Tokyo. I was constantly stressed out. I can never go back to that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/image0_01-819x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-61068\" srcset=\"https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/image0_01-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/image0_01-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/image0_01-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/image0_01.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While working as a freediving instructor, Arisa also wanted to learn how to clean and cutfish. So she found work at Hoseimaru; a 100 year old fish shop seeped in&nbsp;tradition and respected by the locals for it\u2019s high quality and fresh fish.&nbsp;She practices spearfishing, in part for training. And on her days off, she swims and dives into the depth of Amami\u2019s waters. Arisa\u2019s routine is comfortable and healthy for her mind and body. All is&nbsp;<em>for<\/em>&nbsp;freediving, and at the same time,&nbsp;<em>thanks to<\/em>&nbsp;freediving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cFreediving is not so much about looking underwater but about looking within yourself. Diving is actually the best time to focus on me. I\u2019ve learned so much about myself since I started freediving. That\u2019s the part I love most.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"last wp-block-paragraph\">Diving in the beautiful waters while exploring the deepest sea of all\u2014yourself. Amami\u2019s divers are relishing this experience again today. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/DSC2229_01-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-61060\" srcset=\"https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/DSC2229_01-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/DSC2229_01-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/DSC2229_01-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/DSC2229_01.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Arisa skin diving and taking in the colorful and picturesque underwater view<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A single breath, free from equipment, into the deep blue sea.
