The scenery walking over is really beautiful. It takes less than five minutes to walk through this attraction. It is highly recommended to come Heading to the fifth lobby will pass a small red bridge next to this also have souvenir stalls with the shopkeeper can do a little shopping The front to the fifth hall will pass a bridge but be aware that there are large seams in the planks on the ground floor of the bridge body You can even see the sea water directly. Some people call it "Through the Bridge". The reason for this design is cute because this is the place of the gods I hope everyone can focus so I hope visitors pay attention to their perspective There is also a saying that when couples visit this attraction together because they are afraid of holding hands so it is also known as the "bonding bridge" and because the five halls are a bit like pulling out to a separate island View the view of the entire Pine Island Bay with no blind spots at all and really super beautiful when the weather is good It's a very chill place

One of the highlights of Matsushima, one of the Three Views of Japan, is the Godaido Hall on the sea. Name: Zuiganji Godaido Address: 111 Matsushimacho, Matsushima-machi, Miyagi-gun, Miyagi Prefecture Access: About 8 minutes on foot from Matsushima-kaigan Station on the JR Senseki Line Admission fee: Free *The gate closes in the evening. Please note that this varies depending on the season. Sakanoue no Tamuramaro built Bishamon-do, Jikaku Daishi Ennin placed the Five Great Kings statues, which is why it is called Godaido, and the current building was rebuilt by Date Masamune. The Godaido statues are open to the public once every 33 years, and the next time will be in 2039. To get to Godaido, you have to go over the Toubashi Bridge, which has gaps between the bridge girders. It was quite a thrill for someone who doesn't like heights😊 #Domestic travel #Matsushima #Matsushima sightseeing #Matsushima Bay #Godai-do #Miyagi Prefecture #Tourism #Historical sites #Travel to experience history and culture #Breathtaking views #Scenic beauty

I went to Matsushima, one of the three most scenic spots in Japan, which is a must-visit spot when traveling to Sendai, Miyagi Prefecture♪ It can be reached from Sendai in about 40 minutes by train. Among the tourist spots, the most famous one is the Godaido, as shown in the photo. Date Masamune restored this area, which had fallen into decline after the Sengoku period. The symbol of this is a temple called Zuiganji, and in one corner of Zuiganji is the Godaido. It juts out a little from the land, so the sea is right in front of you and you can enjoy a wonderful view of Matsushima Bay♪ You can also enjoy grilled oysters at a nearby restaurant called Genzo😋 I think it would be great to plan a first shrine visit and first sunrise here on New Year's Day✨ #Photogenic spot #Seaside view #Breathtaking view #Matsushima

The five halls on a small island in Songdo Bay were built in 807. When they were rebuilt by Ida Masamune in 1604, they were named after the five kings of the king. They are only opened every 33 years. Next to the Ruiyan Temple is the Bodhi Temple of the Ida family, and is also the premier Buddhist temple in the Northeast. In 828, it was first built by Master Cui Jue. The current building was rebuilt by the 1609 Yi Dazheng. It seems that there was no entrance to the overhaul. The outside is the thirty-three Guanyin worship center of the West. By the way, Matsushima's oysters are very famous. This grilled oyster is three hundred yen. In addition, Miyagi Prefecture has a lot of beans (edamame), such as milkshakes. Lunch is recommended for the restaurant in Songdo, with coffee, western food and Japanese restaurants. The staple food has eaten Philippine and beef tongue~

The fifth lobby is an island next to Songdo Island. It is basically in the most central place. Because it is dedicated to the Five Kings, it is called the Five Lobby. It is said that it will be opened to the public every 33 years. Since it can be signed here, I turned to a sign and got a good luck. It seems that luck is good. If it is murderous, it will be fine. It will be tied to the rope next to it. words, Songdo's squid rice is also good, it is one of the top Japanese ingredients, you can try it!
