Where are the most popular facilities for the “View on your smartphone campaign”? ? Part 2: Spectacular views that Mie is proud of! An extraordinary tea time at a cafe floating in the sky. Enjoy a moment at the hotel, bathed in the setting sun as it returns to the ocean, dyed in madder red.

The most popular ``food and beverage facility'' in the Mie Travel hospitality facility is ``Yokoyama Tenku Cafe Terrace MiradorShima.'' We are proud of our menu that makes use of local ingredients and the view from the sky.

Yokoyama Observation Deck, which offers a panoramic view of the beautiful sea in the Shima region and the formation of the ria coastline, has been awarded a ☆ (one star) in the Michelin Green Guide Japan. It was renovated in 2018, and "Yokoyama Tenku Cafe Terrace MiradorShima" opened in that corner. From the wooden deck paved with cypress wood from Mie Prefecture, you can enjoy a spectacular view of Ago Bay below, making you feel as if you are floating in space. You can enjoy a unique break time while immersing yourself in a sense of unity with nature.

We have received comments from people who have visited, such as, ``The panoramic view was amazing!''

On the window glass facing the wooden deck, along with the menu, there is a sticker that won the ``Hospitality Grand Prix'' of the ``View on Smartphone Campaign''.

``Most of our customers look at the menu posted on the glass outside before coming inside, so it's the part that's most visible,'' says Morisaki, sub-leader of MiradorShima.

According to Morisaki, ``There seem to be quite a few people who are aware of the Mie Toku campaign, and there are cases where we guide customers who look at the sticker, enter the store, look for the QR code, or ask, ``Where is it?'' There is also.”

"Of course I'm happy to have won the Hospitality Grand Prix, but I was also surprised by how good it was for us."

That's what he said. everyone! Please read the second half of the article! You can see why it's popular!

Now, the feature of this cafe is that it is thoroughly integrated with nature.

The seating is basically open. Currently, the number of seats has been reduced in order to take thorough measures against infectious diseases, but the natural breeze still blows through. There is no air conditioning or heating.

No background music is played, all you can hear is the sound of the wind and birdsong. Lighting is kept to a minimum to create a sense of unity between inside and outside.

A self-service restaurant where you order at a counter with a gentle wooden texture and receive your finished product. Take a seat and relax, or go out on the terrace and enjoy the view, as you like.

By the way, the wooden panels above the counter were handmade by the staff of ShimaMediterraneanVillage, which runs the cafe.

In addition to making use of ingredients from Ise-Shima, the menu features a variety of dishes with a focus on local flavors, including recipes devised by the Shima High School Cooking Club.

The most popular item on the food menu is the "Yokoyama Tenku Sandwich" (500 yen, tax included). This baguette sandwich is made using Shima brand-certified Shima Aosa pork, miso from a brewery in IseCity, and Aosa seaweed harvested from the sea in Shima. The smooth and sweet Aosa Pork goes well with the rich miso.

“Shima-produced Aosa Baked Donut” (250 yen, tax included) was introduced last fall. It's a wonder that the rich seaside scent of bluefin seaweed goes perfectly with donuts. This is a new sweet that has now become very popular.

Another product that is consistently popular even in the cold winter is the "Shima Soft Serve Ice Cream" (400 yen, tax included). At the time of our visit, they were selling two types: vanilla and Shima strawberry milk. Since no coloring is used, the color is light, but the strawberry flavor is very strong, which is very popular!

Another feature of this cafe is that they try to use environmentally friendly materials as much as possible.

The material for straws has been changed to paper and sugar cane. The drink cup is also made from plant-based plastic that is decomposed by bacteria, and does not have a lid.

The concept of “being one with nature” is alive and well in places like this.

``The Yokoyama Observation Deck not only had a nice view, but the ○○○○○ that I ate while looking at the view was delicious.''I want to continue to improve our hospitality and come up with new menus so that people can say that. Yes,” Morisaki said.

This is a spot you definitely want to stop by when visiting the Shima area.

If the weather conditions are right, you might even be able to see Mt. Fuji!

Descending from the sky to the ground, I visited Premier Resort Yuga Ise-Shima, also located in Shinhamajima Onsen in ShimaCity, which is the most popular ``accommodation'' among Mie Travel hospitality facilities. It is almost at the southern end of Ise-Shima National Park, and the Pacific Ocean is right in front of you. Located on the beach of Niihamajima Onsen, which has been selected as one of Japan's 100 Best Sunsets, it is truly a paradise on earth where you can enjoy hot springs and meals while watching the sunset coloring the sea surface. This is one of the oldest hotels in this area, and the front desk is a fusion of tradition and modernity, giving it a classy feel.

At the front counter, there is a QR code for the ``View on Smartphone Campaign'' and a sticker for winning the ``Omotenashi Grand Prix''!

It is installed in front of the shuttle bus information. This will catch your eye!

When I asked the manager, Mr. Inoue, he said, ``Actually, there were quite a few people looking for the QR code, and I heard happy voices saying ``Great luck again!'' after playing the scratch-off lottery.''

I also found a campaign panel next to the front desk. It was in front of the information desk.

``The system that allows you to participate using your smartphone, which you always carry with you, has been well received.It's a hassle to bring something else with you when you travel.Also, the gameplay of the scratch lottery is also interesting,'' says Inoue.

However, as we are currently taking measures to prevent the spread of infectious diseases, we have suspended day-trip bathing and the cafe lounge is closed, so we have switched our originally planned service to an ice cream gift.

*Service content has been changed to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus infection.

As the name of the hotel includes the character "Yuu", the view of the magnificent Pacific Ocean and sunset from here is exceptional.

Located in Hamajima, which has been recognized as one of Japan's top 100 sunsets, all rooms have ocean views. Expectations are only increasing.

The spectacular view from your room of the sunset painting the Pacific Ocean in vermilion and returning to the sea will leave you speechless. I think everyone can agree that there are many repeat customers and that there is a lot of demand for ``anniversary''.

*The position of the sunset changes depending on the season.

We have received comments such as ``The location, bathroom, and room are very nice'' from those who have visited.

First of all, you will be overwhelmed by the view from the "Cafe Lounge". The sea was so majestic and beautiful!

Furthermore, an observation lounge has been set up where you get off the elevator on the guest room floor, so that you can enjoy not only the view from the guest room but also the view of the Pacific Ocean. Here, you can gaze at the sea to your heart's content.

This is the kind of consideration that comes from an inn that emphasizes the charm of the view.

There are 15 types of rooms, all with ocean views.

Of particular note is the Japanese-Western style room with a view bath. The view bus is located in a spectacular location surrounded by the sea, with a feeling of openness. You can also open the windows and let in the sea breeze. The modern and calm Japanese living room and spacious bedroom are also attractive.

*The bath in the guest room is not a hot spring.

The hot springs are also spectacular! At night, you can relax while listening to the sound of the waves in the open-air bath and looking up at the starry sky.

The source of the hot springs is "Nihamajima Onsen" which gushes out locally. The spring quality is sodium chloride spring, and it is said to be effective in relieving neuralgia, muscle pain, and fatigue.

Day-trip bathing is currently suspended, but we have heard that you can take a bath in the hot springs for lunch (until 5:00 pm).

Meals include plenty of seafood from Ise-Shima, Matsusaka beef, and local seafood. Kaiseki-style creative cuisine that shows off the chef's taste. It is a tradition at this hotel that each dish is served individually, regardless of grade. I'm happy to be able to enjoy both hot and cold foods at their best.

We also offer a wide variety of bespoke dishes using high-quality ingredients representative of Ise-Shima, such as Ise lobster and abalone.

At this hotel, you can enjoy a resort experience on a reasonable budget, relaxing in rooms and hot springs surrounded by spectacular views of the sea, sunset, and starry sky, and enjoying Mie's food.

The most popular facilities among Mie Travel Hospitality facilities, both dining and lodging facilities, were the scenic spots in the Shima area. The world-famous Shima region, where IseShimaSummit was held, is a must-see once you've settled down.
