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". Ago Bay is a famous place associated with Mikimoto Pearl where "The Pearl King" established first pearl cultivation over 100 years ago.
This tour has a great combination of outdoor activities and historical learnings. You will enjoy riding bicycles, feeling ocean vibes and learning local cultures.
Your hotel in Shima city
After riding a while from the starting point, we will get to the viewing spot.
"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.
After riding bicycles for 45 minutes, we will get to another view point of Ago Bay at the bridge.
The bridge crosses over to Kashikojima Island over the Ago Bay.
The sunset view over the Ago Bay from this bridge is so beautiful that it captivates the hearts of all who see it.
Riding to the end point of the tour, which is either at Kashikojima station or your hotel.
