[2025 Shima Attraction] Travel Guide for Yokoyama Observatory Deck (Updated Jul)

This is Mariko (@mariko000001) on a weekend getaway☺️ 🏷️Mie trip summary #mariko_mie The main focus of this trip was glamping, but since I was going to Ise-Shima, I wanted to do lots of things! So I made a plan to go there💛 I had heard that the food at glamping was really good, so this time I decided to have a melon parfait for lunch🍈 In the city, you can only get melons during melon season, but at Melon House Kawaguchi you can eat ripe melons all year round🥰 What a luxury❣️ After that, I went to the observation deck, which I definitely wanted to go to if it was sunny. The view from here is so special... I actually wanted to have a leisurely cafe break here, but I wanted to go to one more place, so I moved to Ise Hydrangea Temple♪ It was the time of the Hydrangea Marche, so I had some matcha tea, and then we went to glamping😋 I enjoyed the best and most delicious barbecue💛 I'll write a detailed report about this glamping again♪ 𝕚𝕟𝕗𝕠𝕣𝕞𝕒𝕥𝕚𝕠𝕟- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -𖤣𖥧𖥣𖡡𖥧𖤣 DAY1　10:00 📍#MelonHouseKawaguchi 499-13 Minamihari, Hamashima-cho, Shima-shi, Mie ☞The cafe is open only on weekends ☞Closed when there are no melons ・ ・20 minutes by car ↓ 11:30 📍#Yokoyama Observatory 875-24 Ugata, Ago-cho, Shima-shi, Mie ☞A panoramic view of Ago Bay, one of the most famous spots in Ise-Shima National Park ・ ・25 minutes by car ↓ 13:00 📍#Daiji Temple (Daijiji) 409 Nakiri, Daio-cho, Shima-shi, Mie ☞It's called the Ise Hydrangea Temple ・ ・30 minutes by car ↓ 15:00 📍#LUXUNA Ise-Shima 878 Oza, Shima-cho, Shima-shi, Mie ☞Glamping where you can eat the best BBQ you can only get here 𝕡𝕣𝕠𝕗𝕚𝕝𝕖- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -𖤣𖥧𖥣𖡡𖥧𖤣 This is Mariko, a weekend getaway. 👉@mariko000001 Our goal is to travel to all 47 prefectures and post about them.

🏘️Hotel Introduction: The Shima Kanko Hotel Classic Wing, located at 731 Agocho-Shinmei, Shima City, Mie Prefecture, Japan, stands atop a hill overlooking the sea. Originally an imperial villa in Ise-Shima, designed by renowned architect Togo Murano, it opened in 1951 as Japan's first postwar resort hotel and was renovated in 2016. The hotel boasts a historic architectural style, offering rooms with ocean views, a Japanese tea room, a cafe, a wine bar, various shops, and meticulously landscaped gardens. Here, you can also admire the sunset over Ago Bay, one of Japan's "Top 100 Sunsets," the lush ria coastline, and the traditional Japanese scenery of pearl rafts. 🚗Transportation Guide: - From Nagoya: Take the Kintetsu limited express train "Shimakaze."

It is a pilgrimage site for Japanese people, with a long history and unique architectural style. - Mikimoto Pearl Island: The birthplace of the jewelry brand Mikimoto, located near Ago Bay.

In the southern part of the Shima Peninsula in Mie Prefecture, Japan, lies the charming coastal city of Shima. Here, you'll find not only breathtaking natural scenery and rich history but also mouthwatering cuisine. If you're tired of the hustle and bustle of Tokyo and Osaka, Shima City offers a tranquil and unique travel experience. Follow this guide to discover the enchanting allure of Shima City! I. Best Time to Visit Shima City enjoys a subtropical monsoon climate with four distinct seasons. The average annual temperature hovers comfortably between 16°C and 17°C. Spring (March-May) brings vibrant blossoms, especially the iconic cherry blossoms 🌸, enveloping the city in a sea of pink. Summer (June-August) offers sunshine, warm waters, and perfect conditions for water activities like surfing and diving 🏄, along with relaxing sunbathing on the beach. Autumn (September-November) paints the mountains in fiery red hues as the maple leaves change color, creating a picturesque contrast against the azure waters. Winter (December-February) is relatively colder, but it's the ideal time to soak in onsen (hot springs) and ward off the chill ❄️. Note that June to mid-July is the rainy season, so pack an umbrella. Also, be aware of potential typhoons during summer and check weather forecasts for travel adjustments. II. Must-See Attractions 1. Ago Bay: Known as "Pearl Bay," Ago Bay is a major pearl cultivation area in Japan. Its stunning ria coastline features winding shores dotted with numerous islands. Ascend the observation deck at Mount Tonomine Park in the evening for a breathtaking view of the sunset casting a reddish glow over the islands and pearl rafts. Take a boat tour for a closer look at the scenic Kashikojima coastline, learn about pearl farming, and experience the bounty of the sea. 2. Ise-Shima National Park: Encompassing the Shima Peninsula and facing the Pacific Ocean, this park boasts diverse landscapes and scenic beauty. Explore attractions like Ise Grand Shrine, Ago Bay, and Daiozaki Lighthouse, and spot various protected species. Hike through tranquil forests or climb to hilltops for panoramic ocean views. 3.

Download a translation app or carry a Japanese phrasebook for smoother communication. 2. Etiquette: Japanese etiquette is important in Shima City. Remove your shoes indoors, maintain quietness in public spaces, and stand on the left side of escalators, leaving the right side for those in a hurry. 3. Garbage Sorting: Japan has strict garbage sorting rules. Dispose of different types of waste in designated bins, typically categorized as burnable, non-burnable, and recyclable. Clear instructions are usually provided in hotels and public areas. 4. Shopping: Some shops offer tax-free shopping. Carry your passport and inform the cashier if you are eligible for tax exemption.

\\I'm glad I went in 2023// This is a scenic spot where you can get a panoramic view of the beautiful scenery of Ago Bay. It is a representative tourist spot in Ise-Shima. There are five observation decks in total, and each observation deck has a promenade, so you can hike while enjoying the beautiful natural scenery. Since you will be climbing gentle stairs, we recommend wearing comfortable shoes. The view from each observation deck is so spectacular that it won one star in the "Michelin Green Guide Japon". Access to the observation deck from the nearest station is not very good, and it takes about 40 minutes to walk. There is a slope to the observation deck, so we recommend taking a taxi. For those who use the Kintetsu train on weekdays from 2023 (April 10 to March 31, 2024), there is a plan called "Yokoyama VIEW Taxi" that allows you to use a taxi sponsored by the tourist association for 500 yen. I visited Yokoyama Observatory about three times, and it was amazing every time I went! It was beautiful and impressive. I recommend it.
