Yuta Yamasaki and his wife moved from southern Japan to Tokyo a decade ago because job prospects were better in the big city. They now have three sons — ages 10, 8 and 6 — and they are looking for a larger place to live. In the past half century, by investing in transit and allowing development, the city has added more housing units than the total number of units in New York City.

They included two that the farm calls the factory, used to start the culturing process and for offices, and two more that it calls the pearl research institute, used for oyster breeding and research. Floating on the bay’s surface nearby was a series of large platforms, grid-like structures that, underwater, held nets with thousands upon thousands of oysters, their pearls slowly developing. The inspiration for cultivation began in the late 1800s, when the Akoya oysters in the Ago Bay region were being overharvested for their pearls. The anniversary marks 1893, when he first cultured a semi-spherical pearl; in 1896, when he could do it consistently, he established the Tatoku farm. “This region is suited for pearl harvest because of the enclosed sea, which means the water is calm,” Junya Yamamura, the farm and factory manager, said, referring to the bay.

THE SPRAWLING metropolis of Tokyo can overwhelm visitors with its giddy mix of the old and the fantastically futuristic. Take Ghibli Museum, a must-stop for anime fans. Set within the lush grounds of Inokashira Park, an imperial gift to the city in the Edo era (1603–1867), the candy-colored structure resembles a modernist villa with a kooky robot peeping over its rooftop. During the pandemic, this cosmopolitan city slowed but did not close down, from its super-efficient metro to the eclectic bar scene and revitalized districts, where delicious food awaits the adventurous. “If I had to eat only in one city for the rest of my life, Tokyo would be it,” said Anthony Bourdain in his series “Parts Unknown.” Our four locals agree, and offer their favorite hot spots to explore for dining and much more.
