- Miyagi Miyagi-gun Shichigahama Machi Yogasakihama Hachigamori
- "A 55.6 meter high mountain located on the northern tip of Shichigahama Town a 20 minute drive from Tagajo Station on the JR Senseki Line. The mountain's sweeping view of the more than 260 islands floating in Matsushima Bay is called the ""Bikan"" (or ""Ikan,"" ""Beautiful View/Magnificent View""), one of the Four Views of Matsushima, four spectacular views which also include the ""Sokan"" of Mt. Otakamori in Higashimatsushima City, and the ""Reikan"" of Mt. Tomi and ""Yukan"" of Ogitani in Matsushima Town. The surrounding area is maintained as Tamonzan Tenbo Hiroba Park. A walking path in the park leads to the rear of the Bishamon-do Temple from which visitors can enjoy vast, majestic scenery immediately below encompassing Mahanashi Island, Jizo Island, and the other islands floating in Matsushima Bay."

- Miyagi Pref. Miyagigunmatsushimamachi Matsushima
- Fukuura Island, floating to the east of the Matsushima Coast, is a central point for Matsushima sightseeing. It’s connected to the mainland by a 252 meter red-painted bridge (toll charged) so you can walk across to it. The whole island is designated a Prefectural Natural Botanical Park, so it remains an untouched nature preserve filled with pine forest dotted with camellia, maple, and about 250 other types of plant.
