- Miyagi Miyagi-gun Matsushimamachi Matsushima
- This is a highland in Sakuragaokairi, Matsushima Town, Miyagi County. Along with Otakamori, Mt. Tamon, and Mt. Tomiyama in Matsushima Town, it is one of the four prime spots for viewing the rocky islands of Matsushima, long considered one of Japan’s great beauty spots. The site got its name (“fan valley”) from the view of fan-shaped Matsushima Bay.

- Miyagi prefecture Higashimatsushima-shi, Miyagi-gun Matsushima cho, Miyagi gun Nanaishihama cho
- A term referring to four observatories with sweeping views of beautiful Matsushima Bay. The Sokan Observatory is located on lofty Mt. Otakamori standing in the center of Miyato Island across from the bay. The Reikan Observatory on the top of the mountain offers a sweeping with of the east, south, and west sides of the bay. The Ikan Observatory in the Tamonzan area looks out over the ocean from the cliffs of Cape Yogasaki at the northern tip of Shichigahama Town. The Yukan Observatory, located in the Ogitani area (folding fan valley), so called because the inlet of Matsushima Bay resembles a folding fan as seen from mountaintop, is located on high ground behind Sokanzan. Whichever you visit, you can enjoy a lovely view of the charming bay.

- Shintomiyama Observatory
- Travel / Tourism
- Matsushima cho Miyagi-gun, Miyagi prefecture
- This observatory is at the summit of Matsushima Town's Mt. Shintomi. Overlooking all of Matsushima Bay, people say the scenery changes with every 30 centimeters you ascend. It also has a sweeping view of Matsushima's townscape and a great nighttime view with fishing fires dancing above the water after sunset. The tourist sites of Zuiganji and Godaido Temples are within walking distance, and you can also easily stroll there from the Matsushima coast. As it doesn't have its own parking lot, we recommend getting there on foot.
