Yokoyama Viewpoint, Observation deck in Agochō-Ugata, Japan
Yokoyama Viewpoint is an observation deck with five wooden platforms positioned at different elevations overlooking Ago Bay and Shima Peninsula. The decks provide views across the coastal landscape and surrounding terrain from multiple vantage points.
The facility underwent major renovations in spring 2018, transforming the original structures into modern wooden decks with improved viewing features. This redesign significantly enhanced the visitor experience and updated the physical infrastructure.
The MiradorShima cafe serves regional specialties that showcase ingredients from local Ise-Shima producers. Bagel sandwiches and scones prepared here reflect the culinary traditions of the surrounding area.
The viewpoint is roughly 10 minutes drive from Kintetsu Ugata Station with 28 parking spaces at the main entrance. Visitors should plan for walking between the different platforms, particularly if they wish to explore all the viewing areas.
On clear winter days, visitors can spot Mount Fuji from the highest platform in the distance. This rare sight appears when atmospheric conditions allow for exceptional visibility across the landscape.
