Shima

Shima is famed for its natural beauty. The entire area is part of the Ise Shima National Park, and one of its characteristics is a coast with rias, or drowned river valleys, at Ago Bay and other locations. Visitors can enjoy the bay by taking a cruise on an excursion boat. The Shima Spain Village theme park offers a taste of Spain through food, parades, and other attractions. The area is noted for one of the few groups of working women divers in the world. (Ama-goya)
