About Yokoyama Observatory
Gazing at the intricate and beautiful coastline.
Details
At an altitude of 140 meters, the observation deck at "Yokoyama" on the Shima Peninsula in Mie Prefecture offers a stunning coastline view of up to 60 islands of various sizes. The observation deck, renovated in 2018, exudes a modern vibe.
Located at the observation deck is the "Yokoyama Sky Café Terrace Mirador Shima," which offers takeout drinks and meals, including desserts and beverages made with local Ise-Shima ingredients. With a rich variety of options, visitors can enjoy a leisurely meal while taking in the breathtaking mountain and sea views.
The visitor center located below the observation deck provides information about Ise-Shima National Park and is worth a visit. In the screening room next to the entrance, videos are projected on three walls and the floor, recreating various scenes from the national park. The footage of ama divers capturing sea snails on rocky shores is particularly immersive.
Nearby trails can serve as a starting point for hiking or climbing from the observation deck. As the trails are mountainous, it is recommended to wear comfortable shoes and clothing.
