Soak up the serenity of nature-made and man-made delights that dot Shima-hanto Peninsula. From Toba, you'll travel inland to the town of Uji-tachi, home of the Ise-jingu Shrine Complex. Acclaimed as one of the most famous sacred places in Japan, the Inner Shrine known as Naiku is dedicated to the Sun Goddess, Amaterasu, one of the most revered Shinto deities. Dating back to the 7th century, the shrine buildings are made of solid cypress wood and use no nails but instead joined wood. Then, head south to Yokoyama and its famed Observatory. Sitting over 660 feet on Mt. Yokoyama, the deck boasts magnificent views of Ago Bay. Next, embark on a leisurely cruise along the rugged coastline around Kashikojima, the largest island in Ago Bay followed by lunch and return to Toba.
