extract:

「　“Amagoya,” or ama huts, are places of gathering and rest for ama to prepare, eat, warm themselves around the fire, and socialize before and after their diving sessions. They’re the embodiment of the ama’s way of life, simple yet welcoming, and they exude the energy and warm personality of the locals.　」
