From November 2024 to January 11 (every Wednesday), we will be holding Active Ranger Guided Tours at Yokoyama Observatory.
Yokoyama Observatory is a scenic spot overlooking Ago Bay with its beautiful ria coast. From Yokoyama Sky Cafe Terrace, located 140m above sea level, you can enjoy a magnificent view of overlapping capes and islands, and pearl rafts floating in the cove.
