Welcome to the Yokoyama View Point and Visitor Center Website
Ago Bay is one of Ise-Shima National Park’s most scenic destinations, and Yokoyama View Point offers panoramic views of the bay from multiple decks and terraces on the hillside.
But Yokoyama has more to offer than views. Walking trails wind through a mostly evergreen forest, managed and conserved by local residents since ancient times as a source of everyday resources like wood for fires and charcoal making. Flowers bloom throughout the year, and a diverse ecology of birds, insects, and other animals fills the forest. In the lowlands, the Sozo-no-Mori area is used for interactive projects and Kurort health walks. Behind the scenes, National Park staff and volunteers work together to maintain facilities, study the park’s ecosystem, and keep out invasive species.
