Would you visit Tohoku for this stunning illumination? ✨

Located just a few minutes walk from the Matsushima Coast – one of the Three Views of Japan – Entsuin Temple in Miyagi Prefecture is a splendid sight in autumn. From late October to late November the temple and its gardens are illuminated, providing a perfect atmospheric evening stroll. 🏮

Entsuin Temple is as storied as it is beautiful. The main hall was originally the summer residence of Date Mitsumune, but after his death the entire building was relocated from Edo (now Tokyo) and converted into a temple! Its gilded interior is decorated with Western symbols, reflecting the Date clan’s deep interest in Western culture.

Would you test your luck at this seaside shrine?🌊✨
⠀
At Udo-jingu Shrine, visit the main sanctuary tucked inside a cliffside cave before trying a unique local tradition. Made by local elementary and junior high school students and their families, each small clay ball, called an “undama,” is carefully shaped by hand. Toss one toward a hollow in a rock 12 meters away — if it lands inside, it’s said your wish may come true!
