- Named best of Matsushima’s four great sights, the observation platform at the peak of this small mountain offers a gorgeous panorama view. There is a precipitous coast, Saga Gorge, to the east, Matsushima Bay stretches from the west to the south, with views of the sea and islands dotting in a beautiful scene. The north holds a broad view of Ishinomaki townscape.

- Karuwa Town, Kesennuma City, Miyagi ken
- This group of rock formations in Sanriku Fukko (reconstruction) National Park that extends from southern Aomori Prefecture to the Oshika Peninsula in Miyagi Prefecture is one of its officially designated a Place of Scenic Beauty. The cove known as Ogama has been carved out of the rock in the shape of a rounded cooking pot, giving the landform its name (ogama means big pot in Japanese). There's a view of the waves continually breaking against it from Hanzo. Another formation in the shape of a slender stone tower is about 16 meters high. Two meters broke off due to the tsunami that resulted from the 1896 Sanriku earthquake, so it's known as the Oreishi, or broken rock. There is also a promenade between running between Ogama and Hanzo, a rest house, and a parking lot.

- Miyagi Prefecture
- This 711-meter mountain is at the boundary between Kesennuma City and the former town of Motoyoshi. It's very famous for viewing azaleas from the middle to the end of May when the whole place bursts into a beautiful scene of red and green. With about 500,000 plants covering a range of 50 hectares, the colorful scenery reaches from the mountain summit to the Pacific Ocean. It takes about 45 minutes from the trail head to the summit, making it accessible to beginners as well, assuming they have the proper clothing and other hiking items. Expect big crowds on Saturdays and Sundays during the season. If you want to take your time and enjoy it, we recommend going on weekdays.

- Cape Iwaisaki
- Travel / Tourism
- Miyagi Pref. Kesennumashi Hajikamiwaisaki
- This sightseeing spot with a variety of natural landmarks is 25 minutes by car from JR Kesennuma Station. Various fossils have been discovered there dating from the Paleozoic era's Permian period 250 million years ago. It's been designated a Miyagi Prefecture Natural Monument. At the end of the cape there is a blowhole formed by sea water erosion over the eons. It spouts the surf into the air every time they break on the rocks, and when the waves are high, the site is truly impressive. There is also a tree called the Dragon Pine that gained its current dragon-like form from the tsunami after the Great East Japan Earthquake. The statue of the sumo grand champion Hidenoyama Raigoro also survived the tsunami and you can still see it today.

小学校の方から神社へ向かいました。駅前通りの方からも行けるそうです。どちらも案内看板のような物はありませんので下調べしたほうが無難かも。念のため。石段は、どちらからもしんどいです。境内はそんなに広くありません。車でも行けるそうですが道がとても狭いので注意が必要です。私は「石巻市かわまち立体駐車場」を利用しました。最初の２時間無料なので。社務所は無人で呼び鈴を押して対応していただきます。御朱印は書置...

気仙沼から更に奥へ行った唐桑地区にある早馬神社は大震災後15mの津波で流された鳥居は修復されて、この高さまで津波が来たというのを受け継ぐ為の石碑について御朱印を貰う際説明があり、まだまだ復興途上なのを実感…

夕方にきれいにライトアップされている様子を対岸から見て、ちょっと気になったので朝の散歩がてら寄ってみました。 神社は内湾に突き出た小さな岬の上にコンクリートでできた小さな社がある程度で、正直特に見るべきものもなさそうでしたが、岬の先端まで行くと岬の周りを「浮見堂（うきみどう）」という遊歩道が巡っていて、そこから気仙沼湾の景色を見渡すことができました。

日和山公園南側の麓にあります。敷地が広いお寺のようです。日和山公園から高校の横を通りぐるりと回りお寺に行きました。やや遠回りでした。日和山公園の鳥居をくぐり抜けて石段を降りて行くとお寺には近いようです。お寺の正面入口に立つと参道の両側に西光寺の幟が多数立っており、山門の跡と思われるところがありました。近くにナムアミダブツのお寺と彫っている平成７年の石碑があり、お寺の開封、改号、開山等が詳しく説明し...

Lying along the northeastern coast of Japan, Miyagi prefecture is home to lashings of natural parks, oysters, and hot springs. While the bustling city of Sendai offers some simple city entertainment, it’s the Matsushima islands that deserve the most attention, having boosted the prefecture’s reputation as one of Japan’s most scenic views.
