Shounji Temple at Shindera Dori in Nishimiyagino, Sendai, Miyagi, Tohoku, Japan
Beautiful place. In the middle of peace and quiet, and just behind the wall - a busy street leading to the nearby city of Sendai. Awesome place. I discovered it so late, and I drove past many times. It's no conspicuous. Maybe it's better?

Best in Travel - Tōshō gū, Japan
A Tōshō-gū (東照宮) is any Shinto shrine in which Tokugawa Ieyasu is enshrined with the name Tōshō Daigongen (東照大権現). Ieyasu was the founder of the Tokugawa shogunate (1603-1868), which is the third and last of the shogunal governments in Japanese history. It is part of Shrines and Temples of Nikkō UNESCO World Heritage site.
Tōshō-gū shrines are found throughout Japan. The most famous Tōshō-gū is located in Nikkō in Tochigi Prefecture. It is one of Japan's most popular destinations for tourists.
Ieyasu's son, the second shogun Hidetada, ordered the construction of the Nikkō Tōshō-gū. Later, the third shogun Iemitsu had the shrine greatly enlarged and lavishly decorated.
Three Wise Monkeys (Hear no evil, Speak no evil, See no evil), Nikkō
The Tōshō-gū at Ueno Park in Tokyo is also widely known. The Kunōzan Tōshō-gū is in Shizuoka prefecture and rivals Nikkō's for decorative splendor. Another one is the Nagoya Tōshō-gū, constructed in 1619. A Tōshō-gū can also be found at Miyanochō, in Sendai.
During the Edo period, these shrines reached 500 in number. After the Meiji Restoration, many were abandoned, and others united with shrines in the area. Presently, there are about 130 Tōshō-gū.

How to take Jr Rail Train to Matsushima Kaiten Japan from Sendai Train Station
How to take Jr Rail Train to Matsushima Kaiten Japan from Sendai Train Station
Direction video. How to take Jr train from Sendai to Matsushima Kaiten, Go south, take east, exit Sendai tohoku train, up escalator, turn right, go 100 yards, down escalator turn left go down another escalator to Senseki line, 仙石線, Sendai airport to Sendai station to Mastushima, Sendai to Matushima Kaigan, Ishinomaki, Japan
Matsushima Bay, famous for some 260 tiny islands (島 - shima) covered in pines (松 - matsu) — hence the name -- and ranked as one of Japan's Three Great Views.
In 1689, Haiku poet Matsuo Basho visited Matsushima on the trip recorded in Narrow Road to the Deep North. A well-known poem often attributed to Basho claims to record his reaction, signifying that nothing more could be said:
Matsushima ah!
A-ah, Matsushima, ah!
Matsushima, ah!
Today's Matsushima is perhaps a little less inspiring, but still a worthwhile day trip if in the region.
The town did not suffer significant damange due to the Great East Japan Earthquake; the tsunami damage was minimal. The temples, shrines, and sight seeing destinations are still there and still worth the trip.
The Senseki train from Sendai is currently functional and travel to Matsushima-kaigan station is possible.
Get in
The town is only a short distance from prefectural capital Sendai.
By train
Most visitors arrive on the JR Senseki Line (仙石線) connecting Sendai (25 minutes by express train or 40 minutes by local) and Ishinomaki. The most convenient station is Matsushima-Kaigan (松島海岸). The Matsushima station on the JR Tohoku Main Line is located a fair distance away from the seashore.
From Tokyo, the Shinkansen bullet train runs to Sendai for connection to the Senseki Line. The total one-way fare is ¥10,900 using the fastest, all-reserved shinkansen service, and the journey to Matsushima-Kaigan lasts around 2 3/4 hours. There is no charge if you use the Japan Rail Pass.
By boat
Another popular choice is to take the JR Senseki line train to Hon-Shiogama (don't mistake it with JR Tohuku line train to Shiogama station), connect to a sightseeing boat to Matsushima (viewing some of the famous islands along the way), then return by train.
Get around
Matsushima's seaside attractions are within walking distance of the train station and ferry pier, but the best views are from mountaintops not so easy to reach on foot. The most spectacular views are from Saigyo Modoshi no Matsu Park, a ¥660 cab ride up from the station. It is covered with cherry blossoms in the spring, but the food available there is nothing special. Other overlooks are Sōkanzan, a promontory that juts out into the bay, and Ōgitani, a hill across the coastal highway from Sokanzan.
See
Zuigan-ji Temple (瑞巌寺), [2]. 8AM-3:30PM (sometimes later). Matsushima's top Zen temple with over a thousand years of history, but not a top choice for relaxation: tickets are sold from vending machines and guides shouting into megaphones herd tour groups through the temple, which has been turning into a museum with everything of interest partitioned off and/or packaged in glass cases. The approach with its moss-covered Kannon statues is atmospheric though. Repairs on the main temple roof started in 2009 and are projected to last 5 or more years. ¥700. edit
Kanran-tei Pavilion (観覧亭). Originally built in Kyoto by famed Shogun Toyotomi Hideyoshi, this was eventually moved to Matsushima by Date Tadamune in 1645 and is the largest Momoyama-style tea house in Japan. An excellent place to stop for a ¥200 cup of tea (traditional Japanese sweets included) and a view of the Matsushima coastline. edit
Fukuura Island (福浦島; Fukuura-jima). Connected to the mainland by a long bridge, the island is crisscrossed in all directions by paths small and large, paved and muddy, well-trod and overgrown. A circuit of the island won't take more than an hour and there are some very sparsely beautiful spots to be seen. An interesting anecdote, there is a local superstition that crossing the bridge with a girlfriend/boyfriend will cause a breakup.
Ōtakamori (大高森). One of The 4 Famous Places to view Matsushima Bay and a good place to catch the sunset over the island. The start of the 1-km trail to the top is some 3 kilometers from the Pila Youth Hostel in Oku-Matsushima.

KYOTO TEMPLE | JAPAN RAIN
Kyoto temple and Japan rain in Kyoto Nara, Kyoto Inari and Japan Torii.
Kita-in （喜多院） Temple, Kawagoe, Saitama Prefecture, Japan
Kita-in （喜多院) temple is located in Kawagoe district in Saitama Prefecture, Japan. This temple is the main temple for people of Kawagoe.
Part of the Edo Castle has been moved into this temple precincts, including the birthplace (room) of Third Shogun of Japan Iemitsu. There are many artificats that belonged to the Shogun's household like the paintings, in a museum in the temple precincts.
One of the most awe inspiring things in the temple precincts is the 500 statues of Rakan (Buddhas). Every statue is different in this set of Buddhas and you should definitely visit this temple to see it.
I have a separate video of the 500 Rakan in my youtube channel, please watch that video too.

Nikko Tokugawa Ieyasu's tomb
This is perhaps the single most important figure in Japanese history, being most responsible for uniting the country under one ruler.
Episode 34 - Japan / Nikko area, Kyoto & Nara
JAPAN: NIKKO & KYOTO
Our 2nd week in Japan and this time a bit or better completely off the beaten path! Thanks to our friend Eiji, we discovered a totally different Japan with the Northern countryside and the Onsens, traditional Japanese baths which are more like a religion in the entire country.
Did we already say we love Japan? We do indeed and you will soon understand why watching our video and reading the lines below.
NIKKO: DAY 1
We left our hotel early in the morning to meet Eiji further North of Tokyo. Traffic jam can be very bad in the city and he suggested to meet a bit out of the way to avoid wasting time in transportation. We then hit the road to the Nikko prefecture and the site of Nikkō Tōshō-gū, a shrine and a temple, dedicated to Tokugawa Ieyasu the first shogun of the Edo era, amongst the most visited sites in Japan. Eiji had booked in an old Ryokan in Itamuro to spend the night and have our first Onsen, Japanese bath, experience. We got a very good dinner and got to bed early to be ready for the next day.
NIKKO: DAY 2 & 3
We visited the Nikko National Park and took several little walks, in swamp area and close to the sleeping volcano. The scenery was fantastic and the fall foliage beautiful. It was chilly due to the altitude but the scenery was so great that we forgot about the cold. Eiji arranged our overnight in another Ryokan for the next two nights, the Kita Onsen. The guest house is divided in several old buildings all connected from the inside. The structure is 350 years old. It was very chilly when we arrived at Kita Onsen and Eiji teached us how to use the “Kotatsu”, the famous and unique, heating table to warm up the room. Then we went to the baths, really hot ones, to get warm. Wow it was a great experience! We kept going and returning to the baths during the two days at Kita Onsen. We loved the Japanese bath way and we will never forget about this, thanks to Eiji.
We left the Kita Onsen in the morning and made a last stop in the public bath close by. Another very interesting experience. Magali being the only Westerner in the room got the full attention of the Japanese ladies. It was very much fun. Then back to Tokyo to take a train to Kyoto. We arrived in the afternoon and had time to explore the train station and its surrounding. We did some shopping and had early dinner before taking the Subway to meet our AirBnB host, Mika, a nice Japanese lady who speaks several languages and who’s been travelling extensively. We had a nice tatami room to ourselves in Northern Kyoto.
KYOTO: DAY 1
After a good night rest, we decided to go to the Northern Western part of Kyoto to visit the Gingaku-Ji, the Golden Temple, first and then the Ninna-ji Temple to finish with the Gion district, to see the Yasaka Jin-Ja Park and with some luck spot a Maiko, entertainment lady. Unfortunately no Maiko around but a very good day walking and enjoying Kyoto, a lot!
KYOTO: DAY 2
Head to the South West to visit the Fushimi Inari Shrine! One of the most photographed site in Kyoto. This is the famous park with hundreds of “Torii” red door used in sacred sites. Being a Sunday the site was very packed with tourists but as soon as we started hiking uphill the crowd was less and less. Daniel fell literally in love with the site and all the red doors. Magali visited the site 6 years ago and apart from the Torii nothing was the same. A new direct path from the station had been set up, English sign boards were every where! And most of all, when she did visit the site at that time, she was almost the only tourist around, she had to ask for directions from the train station as there was nearly no information! What a change! Being on the pole position of the Kyoto Activities on Tripadvisor.com must have helped (!) Back to Kyoto station we walked to the Toji Temple to see the highest 5 storey pagoda of Japan. The pagoda and the two other halls of Toji including golden Buddhas and war kings images were absolutely stunning!
KYOTO/NARA: DAY 3
We took a train early to Nara, another Imperial city, 40 min. from Kyoto. We walked around and visited the major Temple Todai-Ji and a few shrines. The main attraction here are the deers that roam freely around. We bought special deer biscuits and had fun feeding the cute beasts. Another beautiful day in the fresh air for us!
WE SPECIFICALLY ENJOY
Every bath in the Onsen, every temple, every shrine, every garden, every leave falling from the trees, every deer that approached us searching for biscuits, absolutely everything!

Entsū-in (円通院) is a famous Myōshin-ji-branch Rinzai Zen Buddhist temple in Matsushima, Miyagi Prefecture, Japan. It was founded next to Zuigan-ji in honour of the grandson of Date Masamune. His mausoleum of 1647 is decorated with Namban art, with |motifs inspired by contact with the West and has been designated an Important Cultural Property. There is also a Japanese garden attributed to Kobori Enshū.
The Main Hall has a thatched hip roof and is known as the Daihitei (大悲亭 lit. Great Sadness Cottage?). It was dismantled and moved from Edo. Inside is enshrined a Muromachi period statue of Kannon seated on a lotus throne. Made of Japanese cypress using the yoseki-zukuri technique, it is gilded over lacquer.
Mausoleum
The three-bay Tamaya (霊屋?) or mausoleum of Date Mitsumune, grandson of Date Masamune, was built in 1647 and is an Important Cultural Property. Inside, the shrine of Date Mitsumune is decorated with motifs including spades, hearts, diamonds, clubs, roses and other western flowers. The Tamaya was damaged by the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami.
Gardens
karesansui garden
The gardens of Entsū-in are divided into four areas: a karesansui garden; a moss garden around a pond shaped like the character for heart (心), attributed to Kobori Enshū; a rose garden inspired by the Date encounter with the Christian west; and a natural stand of cryptomeria. In autumn the temple is celebrated for its momiji.
