To commemorate the 80th anniversary of the designation of Ise-Shima National Park, we will be holding the "Ago Bay Sunset & Night Cruise," an experience that will allow you to explore the rich natural beauty of Ago Bay and enjoy a special night with all your senses.
For this event, the Esperanza, a special chartered cruise ship from Kashikojima España Cruises, will operate against the backdrop of the breathtaking scenery of the ria coast where the sea and islands meet. After enjoying the golden sunset over Ago Bay, participants will watch the special illumination of the Shima Ohashi Bridge (Shima Pearl Bridge), implemented by Mie Prefecture, from the sea.
Furthermore, a commemorative fireworks display will be held, illuminating the countless stars spread across Shima's clear night sky and the tranquil sea.
From the "prime seat" of the sea, you can enjoy a premium experience that can only be found here, where the contrast between nature and light in Ise-Shima National Park creates a breathtaking spectacle.
