[Mie Prefecture] I'm glad I went in 2023! Yokoyama Observatory, a spectacular observation deck

\\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.
