One of the Three Most Scenic Spots of Japan @ Matsushima

Matsushima is one of the three scenic spots in Japan. It was the first location where the tsunami was hit by the Japanese earthquake a few years ago. Fortunately, the entire bay of Matsushima did not suffer much damage in the disaster. Rarely come, be sure to take a good look at the coast of Matsushima, appreciate the famous attractions made up of 260 large and small islands and rocks,the best is however to take the Matsushima cruise.

The route we chose is to see the islands located in Matsushima Bay, about 50 minutes boat ride, the ship will play Japanese and Chinese audio guides, the whole trip most impressive is Nioh Island, because this island is very strange appearance, and very small seats.

After the boat ride, we went to the Five Halls of Seiyanji Temple, which is a national treasure-level temple in Japan. The cave complex next to the Omotesando of Ruifuji Temple is also worth a closer look. Many stone chambers have been revealed in the cave complex, and several stone Buddhas have also been preserved. Walking through this place, an aura of solemnity and tranquility arises spontaneously, and one can't help but admire the carving art that the predecessors have left to this day.

There are many more attractions around its Matsushima that are worth visiting, but today I really don’t have enough time.
