Ise-Shima National Park Skywalk (Shima Area)

The Ise-Shima Skywalk gives visitors an elevated view over Ago Bay's deeply indented coastline, where around sixty small islands dot calm waters shaped by tidal inlets and peninsulas. The bay area includes Kashikojima, known for pearl cultivation and the site of the 2016 G7 summit, and Gozashirahama's shallow white-sand swimming beach. Nearby, the Daiozaki Lighthouse watches over a coastline that has drawn artists since the Meiji era. Tomoyama Park on the bay's edge is set up for kayaking and hiking. The skywalk serves as a good introduction to the region's geography before exploring further.
