One of Mie Prefecture's leading view spots where you can overlook approximately 60 islands floating in Ago Bay and the intricately convoluted rias coastline. From the observation terrace at an altitude of 203 meters, you can enjoy a liberating view where the sky and sea seem to melt together. It is barrier-free and easy to walk, and spending time slowly gazing at the magnificent view with a local drink in hand at the cafe becomes a highlight of Ise-Shima sightseeing.
