First time in Sendai City. The usual attraction is Matsushima, which is known as one of the three scenic spots in Japan Because the day before was too late to go back to the hotel to rest Today we took advantage of the good weather to arrange a half-day trip to Matsushima After brunch at the hotel, take the tram to Matsushima When you come to Matsushima, remember that if you want to stay until evening, no matter how strong the sun is during the day, Be sure to bring enough warm clothes We were misled by the sun today and didn't dress warmly enough. It's really cold when the sea breeze hits after evening! Before boarding, purchase oyster cola cakes at the designated Coke shop nearby Eat hot, fresh and delicious, no wonder it is a must-eat in Matsushima😋 As for whether the Matsushima cruise is worth it, it's a matter of opinion. But my friends and I thought it was better to take the cruise time to visit Matsushima Ruiyan Temple If you decide to cruise, remember to sit on the right after boarding the boat will have more points to see My friend and I sat on the left relatively monotonous After the cruise, we headed to Yuantong Courtyard and Sanhui Hall~ Inside is a courtyard with Japanese landscaping, which is very comfortable Matsushima overall, if you do not participate in the cruise is also a lot of beautiful scenery worth seeing, in addition Matsushima fish plate is very delicious, you can enjoy your own grilled fish plate here, highly recommended! #Matsushima #Matsushima Cruise #Yuntongyuan #Sanhuidian 🏖️ Atmosphere/Facilities: Cruise experience can be tried, tickets can be booked in advance through the official website (but actually buying on site is also very convenient, and more flexible time)

#aprilblooms Entsu-in Temple was built in Shoho 4 (1647) as a family temple of Date Mitsumune, the grandson of Date Masamune. Entsu-in is known as a famous place for autumn leaves, and it is at its best from late October to mid-November. Among them, the garden centred on the Shinji Pond, which was built about 350 years ago, and Mt. Fuda, where Kannon Bodhisattva lives, is one of the most beautiful in Tohoku. At night, it is also lit up, creating a more fantastic atmosphere. The experience of making original rosary beads with natural stone and glass rosary is also popular with worshippers. "Kannon" on the left side of the mountain gate is a matchmaking spot for various relationships such as going to college and getting a job, including love. The statue of Kannon is surrounded by a number of worshippers who wrote the wishes for the fulfilment of a good relationship.

A magnificent view💕💕💕 Inside Sankeiden Hall, a statue of Mitsumune is enshrined, and Western patterns such as roses and daffodils are carefully painted. Walking slowly through the Zen forest meditation garden the snow piled up on the trees and the buds sprouting from them cleansed and healed my heart. As I grew older, my aesthetic sense developed a little, and I was able to truly enjoy the taste of wabi-sabi. #Miyagi #Matsushima #Matsushima sightseeing #Entsuin Temple #Wabi-sabi #Garden #Snowscape #0 yen travel January 2025 #Winter travel

#2024 TRAVEL REVIEW #日本 #松岛 Songdo Entsu-in Temple is a temple with a profound history in the Songdo area. It has a history of more than a thousand years and is one of the famous Buddhist holy places in the Northeast region. 🌿When I visited, I was attracted by the peaceful atmosphere and exquisite gardens of the temple. Stepping into Enton Temple, you feel as if you have traveled through time and feel a sense of ancient wisdom and tranquility. The gardens in the temple are beautiful and picturesque, with different scenery in each season. Autumn is the time when the red leaves are at their most spectacular. No matter when you come, you can feel the beauty of nature. I visited in mid-December, which happened to be the end of the maple leaf season. You can imagine how wonderful it will be to visit when the maple leaves are in full bloom. beautiful. 🍁 I particularly like the Zen feel of Enton-in Temple. It is a good place to relax and settle down your thoughts. If you want to escape the busy urban life and experience a spiritual baptism, Entsu-in Temple is definitely an attraction not to be missed!

#0yentravelnovember Many people visit Entsu-in Temple as a "temple for matchmaking" and "famous spot for autumn leaves." It is located in Matsushima, one of the three most scenic spots in Japan, and is adjacent to Zuigan-ji Temple. Entsu-in Temple is the family temple of Mitsumune, the legitimate grandson of the famous Sengoku daimyo Date Masamune, and features the mausoleum "Sankeiden," designated as an Important Cultural Property of Japan, where you can see a painting of roses that Hasekura Tsunenaga, a vassal of the Date clan, brought back from Europe. It is also known as the "Rose Temple" because of the rose-themed garden. In addition, the interior of the shrine is painted with patterns such as diamonds, clovers, hearts, and spades, showing Western influences. The gardens are also one of the attractions of this temple. There are four distinctive gardens, including a rock garden. During the autumn leaves season from late October to late November, the temple grounds are decorated with colorful trees and leaves, and when lit up at night, it takes on a different look. The autumn leaves reflected on the water are so beautiful that it feels like you are in another world. There is also a restaurant within the temple grounds where you can enjoy kaiseki cuisine while looking out at the beautiful garden.

Entsuin Temple is located next to Zuiganji Temple to the west and serves as the mausoleum of Mitsumune, the second son of the second lord of the Sendai Domain, Tadamune. Mitsumune was highly skilled in both literary and martial arts, but he passed away in Edo in September 1645 at the young age of 19. Entsuin Temple was established in the same year by Tadamune to mourn his son's death, and the mausoleum (Sankei-den) was completed in 1647. The temple was affectionately known as the 'Rose Temple' because the head priest, Meido Amano, planted a variety of roses over an area of more than 6,000 square meters and opened it to the public. Nowadays, the number of roses has decreased, and moss has been planted throughout the temple grounds, giving it the nickname 'Moss Temple' and providing visitors with a sense of tranquility. ■ Bead Making You can experience making your own original prayer beads.

Entsuin Temple is located in Matsushima-cho, Miyagi Prefecture, one of the Three Most Scenic Views of Japan. After paying the 500 yen admission fee, I was able to enter smoothly. First of all, the view is truly amazing. The trees are lush and the space is calming. Many people were wearing kimonos and yukatas, and many were taking photos in earnest. 🙆♀️ Just walking through the beautifully maintained gardens is calming. I highly recommend it when you visit Matsushima-cho. ✨️ 📍Address: 67 Matsushima-cho, Matsushima-cho, Miyagi-gun, Miyagi Prefecture 981-0213 🕰️Opening hours: 9:00-16:00 💰Price per person: 500 yen #0yentravelautumn #Entsuin Temple

Entsuin Temple (円通院）is a Buddhist temple dedicated to Kannon (觀世音菩薩）and was built in 1647. It is situated next to Matsushima’s (松島）most important Zuiganji Temple (瑞巖寺）in Miyagi Prefecture （宮城県）。It was built to mourn the death of the second son Date Mitsumune (伊達光宗）of local feudal lord Date Terumune （伊達政宗）。He died at the young age of 19。 This temple is one of the best places to watch the fabulous and colorful red maples in Autumn in northeastern part of Japan.

The scenery of Matsushima is mysteriously beautiful, as if you have wandered into a dream. Many small islands are dotted around, and lush pine trees adorn the landscape. When viewed from the boat, the islands are arranged in perfect balance, and a painting-like beauty spreads out before your eyes. Entsuin Temple in particular is one of the most symbolic places of Matsushima. Although it is an ancient temple, the view from the garden is simply magnificent. From here, you can get a panoramic view of Matsushima, and the old pines and beautiful pond show off different faces throughout the seasons. The space, which is in harmony with nature while also feeling the history, is a calming beauty that captivates all who visit. It is a truly wonderful place where you can spend a luxurious time experiencing the miracle of Matsushima. #PR #AccommodationReview
