Ago Bay, a pearl producing area known for its beautiful sunsets

Ago Bay in Shima City, Mie Prefecture, is one of Japan's leading ria coastlines. Located in the southern part of the Shima Peninsula, 60 islands of various sizes float within the bay, creating a complex coastline with beautiful scenery.

"Ago Bay Cruise" - See the magnificent scenery from the sea

If you board a sightseeing boat from Kashikojima Port, you can view Ago Bay from the sea. We recommend the approximately 50-minute "Kashikojima Espana Cruise." The sailing boat "Esperanza" used on the Kashikojima Espana Cruise is modeled after a carrack ship from the Spanish Age of Discovery. You can enjoy the magnificent view from the observation deck.
