MATSUSHIMAFALL LIGHT UP

This is a popular event held every year at Entsu-in Temple in Matsushima during the autumn leaves season. It is said to be one of the most beautiful night illuminations in Tohoku. Stroll through the quiet Entsuin Garden, which is beautiful during the day and has a magical atmosphere at night. In autumn, the garden is decorated with beautiful autumn leaves, captivating visitors. The reflection of the trees on the mirror-like surface of the pond is magical, as if it were an entrance to another world.

The best time to see the autumn leaves in the Matsushima area is usually from mid-November to late November, so we recommend the Matsushima Light-up as a sightseeing spot in autumn.

Miyagi

Located only 90 minutes away from Tokyo, Miyagi Prefecture offers unique and diverse experiences. Sendai, the cosmopolitan capital of Miyagi, is populated with lush greenery and yokocho alleys, while to the west is the iconic crater lake of Mount Zao, and to the east lies Matsushima, known as one of the Three Most Scenic Places of Japan. Miyagi also provides direct access to all the other prefectures of the Tohoku region, a vast unexplored area full of nature and rich culinary traditions, completely different from typical tourist destinations of Japan.
