Japan national treasure Zuiganji temple. Be sure to cross over to the coastline to capture the Matsushima formations. For the history buff the paid main entrance side features golden interior where the Meiji emperor stayed overnight. No photos allowed, but quite worth the 700yen ticket price. Popular spot for tourists, Matsushima is one of the three sightseeing places that represent Japan. The other two being Itsukushima in Hiroshima (the Torii in the ocean) and Amanohashidate in Kyoto (sandbar).

It's a small shrine. Along the coast made of wood Even though it looks old, it is beautiful and magical. I came here on a work-day (April 17, 2024), so there weren't many people. The entrance is a distinctive, eye-catching red wooden bridge crossing a small canal, making it seem like this shrine is located on an island. Besides making merit, tourist also admired view of the beautiful Matsushima bay.

This is a national treasure site situated just next to the jetty when you alight from the Matsushima excursion ferry ride. No entrance fee is required. The red bridges connect you to the temple and you'll have to walk on the planks as the bridges are not fully covered. Apparently it closes at 5pm. You'll get a good view of the bay from there. Highly recommended!

Godaido Hall stands just northeast of the pier and is worth stopping by. A lovely (if somewhat precarious as the handrails are rotting away) bridge connects the small island to the shore. The hall itself stands proudly overlooking the bay. There is a small shop selling souvenirs and trinkets just landside of the bridge.

A great spot to take in beautiful sea view at matsushima ba, the temple is old but so beautiful architecturally. we watched the sunset here which is peaceful and serene, there wasn't really much people around and everywhere you look, it's simple an amazing view with nature surrounding old structures.

Small wooden temple that you can walk to as it's connected to the mainland via beautiful red bridges. It's FREE to visit this Island, and it's pretty much right in the middle of everything so you shouldn't miss it. It's also very picturesque with the bright red bridges. Highly instagramable!
