"Yokoyama Observatory Deck" is a scenic viewpoint which you can see breathtaking panoramic views of the Ago Bay in Shima.
You can clearly see and learn how the landscape shape like a zig-zag coastal line.
There is a lovely cafe at the deck and offers some beverages and snacks using the local ingredients.
My recommendation is a citrus flavoured ice cream.
