Cycling Tour along the coastal town, Shima
This is the cycling tour in Shima. Shima is a costal town located Mie prefecture (3 hours train from Osaka or Kyoto), renowned for the beautiful bay called "Ago Bay".

"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 opens at the deck and offers some beverages and snacks using the local ingredients.
My recommendation is a citrus flavoured ice cream.
"Kashikojima-Ohashi" Bridge

The sunset view over the Ago Bay from this bridge is so beautiful that it captivates the hearts of all who see it.
