Matsushima, Tohokku Miyagi 東北宮城 松島
Matsushima in Tohoku Miyagi Prefecture, is a beautiful scenic spot composed of 260 scattered islands in Matsushima Bay. The Great East Japan Earthquake of 2011 hit this area and the town received damage from the tsunami afterwards.
My channel, Japan Silhouette, features beautiful scenery, traditional culture, Origami arrangement, and the warm heart of the Japanese people.
I also visit other countries and record my impression about them, perhaps from a Japanese perspective.

Matsushima, Japan - Godaidō Temple (2019)
With its prominent location overlooking Matsushima Bay, Godaido is a must-see symbol of Matsushima. It was first founded in 807. The building we see today was reconstructed by Date Masamune in 1604. It is named for the five Buddhas of wisdom housed within. The Buddhas inside Godaido are only shown during a special ceremony once every 33 years.
Leading to the temple are unusual red bridges with spaces between the planks- if you trip, you are not yet ready to reach the temple!
The grounds of Godaido are free to enter and are closed evenings.

Matsushima, Japan - Oshima Island (2019)
Matsushima is known as one of the three most scenic places of Japan. Take a ferry ride, check out the museums, or dine on fresh seafood. However, an often overlooked but easily accessible attraction is Oshima Island. The admission free island is a ten minute walk from Matsushimakaigan Station behind the former and now demolished Marinepia Aquarium.
The island is known for its Buddhist history and great views of the bay. Similar to the the caves found in front of Matsushima's Zuigan-ji Temple, hand-dug nooks and crannies decorate the cliffs and rocks here. Inside these caves Buddhist priests meditated and performed various religious practices. You'll also see Buddhist artifacts and statuary, some shrines with religious decorations scattered about, and a unique perspective of the bay.

Yamadera, Japan - Full Tour (2019)
Yama-dera (山寺 lit. Mountain Temple), (山号 宝珠山; Sangō Hōshu-zan) is about a twenty-minute train ride (Senzan Line) northeast of Yamagata City, in Yamagata Prefecture, Japan. The temple is a nationally designated Place of Scenic Beauty and Historic Site.
The area is named after the common name of the temple of Risshaku-ji (立石寺), founded in 860 AD by the priest Ennin (円仁) (AD 793 or 794–864), who is better known in Japan by his posthumous name, Jikaku Daishi (慈覺大師). In 847 he returned to Japan from China and in 854 he became the chief priest of the Tendai sect at Enryaku-ji. Risshaku-ji was founded as a branch temple of Enryaku-ji on Mt. Hiei near Kyoto. Even today the ritual fires brought from Enryaku-ji are still burning in the main temple. It developed into the major Heian-period (794–1185) temple for rural Dewa province (now Yamagata and Akita prefectures). This main temple, the Konpon-chūdō, an important cultural asset, is said to have been built in 1356 by Shiba Kaneyori, lord of Yamagata Castle. Most of Risshaku-ji was destroyed during the local wars of the early 16th century. It was rebuilt in 1543 under the monk Enkai. By the Edo period (1600–1868) Risshaku-ji was a powerful institution possessing a fief of 1,420 koku.
The present Konpon-chūdō (Main Hall) is a Muromachi period (1333–1568) construction of beech, which is rare as a building material. The temples clinging to the steep rocky hillsides are picturesque and unusual. The thousand step climb through the dense cedar trees is worth making to the temples at the top and for the view from them. The principal image of the main temple is the Heian-period seated wooden image of Yakushi Nyorai (the Buddha Bhaisajyaguru), an important cultural asset. Yamadera holds many other important cultural assets in its treasure house, the Hihokan, including standing wooden images of Shaka Nyorai, Yakushi Nyorai and Amida Nyorai, a seated wooden image of Dengyo Daishi, a hanging wooden mandala of Buddha, and a stone monument of the Nyohō-kyō Sutra from 1144.
Yama-dera is where the well-known haiku poet Matsuo Bashō wrote his famous haiku ah this silence / sinking into the rocks / voice of cicada in 1689. A museum of Basho's writings and paintings and other related art, the Yamadera Basho Memorial Museum, is a short walk up the hill on the opposite side of the steep valley. In 1996, the Ministry of the Environment selected the cicadas of Yama-dera as one of the 100 Soundscapes of Japan.

Vlog 76: Weekend in Sendai - March 2008
Hi guys! Long time no vlog.
For the past several months, I have been working as volunteer on-call shift leader for a local group supporting Barack Obama. It was a great experience and nice way to transition back to the U.S.
Now, I plan to get on with job-hunting and hopefully find something that will enable me to travel to Japan often.
This is the first video in a new series I plan to create called Japan - My home for 8 years. The first one is of Sendai & Matsushima in Miyagi-ken. The footage is shaky, I aplogize for that, my filming skills need improvement.
I miss Japan immensely and all the wonderful friends I made there over the years and through the YouTube community. I hope to get back to Japan to live again someday, I love it and miss it everyday.
