Matsushima Bay

Matsushima (松島^?) is a group of islands in Miyagi Prefecture, Japan. There are some 260 tiny islands (shima) covered in pines (matsu) – hence the name – and is ranked as one of the Three Views of Japan.

Nearby cultural properties include Zuigan-ji, Entsū-in, Kanrantei, and the Satohama shell mound.

There are four well-known spots to view the Matsushima, known as the Magnificent View (壮観, sōkan^?), Beautiful View (麗観, reikan^?), Enchanting View (幽観, yūkan^?), and Grand View (偉観, ikan^?).
