 Matsushima - A treasure trove of beautiful scenery woven by superb views and history


Matsushima, located in Miyagi Prefecture, is one of the three most scenic spots in Japan and a tourist destination with a beautiful view of about 260 small islands. The islands are covered with rocky cliffs covered with pink and white flowers and green trees, and have fascinated people since ancient times.


Matsushima’s history is old, and according to legend, it began when a Chinese Zen monk who came to Japan in the Heian period visited the island, was impressed by its beauty, and planted pine trees. Also, Date Masamune built a mansion in Matsushima and made Matsushima a place worth a country and a castle, making it a tourist destination with high historical value.
