PINE TREE ISLANDS AND AUTUMN LEAVES IN NORTH EAST JAPAN.

Next day,we arrived at Matushima area in Miyagi prefecture.


次の日は松島に行きました。
The view from the hotel's room where we stayed.

ホテルの部屋からの光景です。

We got on a sightseeing boat from Matushima seashore.


There are many beautiful pine tree islands in Matushima bay.

仁王丸という観光船に乗りました。















この島が仁王島です。


Big Tsunami waves attacked this area too in 2011,but there were almost no damages here,
Many islands guarded this area.


Then we went to Entuji temple.

瑞巌寺の隣の円通院に行きました。


This temple's garden were covered with many kind of  autumn leaves. 

伊達政宗の嫡孫の菩提寺です。










This resting bench has a round window.

ここに丸窓がありました。

If a beautiful  woman would stand here, she would be seen more beautiful than usual.

ここで写真を撮ると、美人の人はより美しく写るそうです。



We came Matushima area via Zao mountain road named Zao Echo line.

松島に来る途中に通った、蔵王エコーラインです。

WE stopped the car by the road and took photos.








Sankai-no-Taki Falls.

三階の滝です。


Fudo Falls.

不動の滝です。



Thanks for visiting this post.

  2. Fabulosas imagens! As ilhas parecem esculturas mas são o resultado do trabalho de milhões de anos da própria natureza. E este colorido outonal é fantástico. Fotos soberbas! Adorei contemplar
    Um bom final de semana
    Beijos

  4. Wow - beautiful fall colors! And I loved that little island you visited.

    P.S. Yes, I drive a Subaru Outback. I just purchased my second Outback this spring to replace my old one. I am a big fan of Subarus. :)

  5. The round window in the wall with the beautiful scenery is known as "moon gate", right!?
    Marvellous landscape you captured, Minoru-san!
    Enjoy a great and pleasurable Sunday!

     ご旅行のお写真 紅葉がとても美しく 面白いコメントが添えられ 楽しいです ♪
     美人な人はより美しく そうでない人はそれなりになんでしょうね!
     私は この素晴らしく美しい窓の前に立つ自信はありません(笑)

     昨年の秋 私たちも訪れた銀山温泉。 狭い一画ですが情緒がありますね。

      こんばんは。 Anzu様なら、より美しく写られると想像しています。Anzu 様もいらした温泉ですね。覚えています。銀山温泉街は思ったより、狭いですね。 夜の外出にホテルの人がダウンジャケットを貸して呉れました。

  16. 松島を観光船で巡られて、島の景色も格別だったことでしょうね。浜から松島の海をみて絵のように美しかったことを覚えています。円通院の紅葉みごとです!私も丸窓に立っても良いでしょうか...ますますまん丸く写りそうですが.....Have a good day!

      こんばんは。 松島のおかげで津波の被害が少なくて済んだこを聞いて、とても良かったと思っています。
       私の妻は、それなりに映りましたが、Tomoko 様はより美しく写ると思います。
