    When visiting the Ise-Shima area of Mie Prefecture, you absolutely shouldn't miss a ride on the Spanish-style sightseeing ship Esperanza at Kashikojima. Modeled after a 16th-century carrack from the Age of Exploration, this sightseeing ship has a magnificent retro design. Once aboard, it feels like you've stepped into the anime world of One Piece, and you can't help wanting to shout, “海賊王かいぞくおうにおれはなる!”

    During the 50-minute voyage, the ship cruises slowly and smoothly around Ago Bay, which has more than 60 islands. You can enjoy the scenery while learning about pearl rafts and the submerged coastline. Feeling the sea breeze on the deck or watching the sunset from the open-air seating is still romantic.

    Before or after the cruise, the many modern, diverse, and traditional pearl shops around Kashikojima Station are also great spots for taking commemorative photos, making this cruise a beautiful and precious memory, like a pearl.
