Yokoyama View Point and Surroundings
Yokoyama View Point is a network of walking trails and hillside observation decks overlooking Ago Bay to the south.
Yokoyama Tenkū Café Terrace offers panoramic views of Ago Bay from 140 meters above sea level. With a parking lot and wheelchair-accessible ramp and toilet, it is open all year round. From 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., a takeout café sells drinks and refreshments made from local ingredients. Komorebi Terrace is a more secluded viewpoint at the same elevation and is also accessible by wheelchair.
Soyokaze Terrace is further up the slope at 168 meters elevation. Higher still are Ago Bay View Point (177 m), which has a three-dimensional map of the bay, and
Miharashi View Point (180 m) at the top of the ridge.
These decks and terraces are connected by walking trails through the forest that extend down to the Sozo-no-Mori area below. Sozo-no-Mori has ponds and wetlands with their own unique ecosystems, as well as gardens that bloom with cherry blossoms and azaleas in their respective seasons. Lawn Park, a short distance away, is a popular family picnic site.
The Yokoyama Visitor Center is located at the base of the Yokoyama View Point area. It provides advice and guidance for visitors, and contains exhibits offering insights into the ecology and history of Ise-Shima National Park.
