*''Japanese'': 松島 ''(Matsushima)''
Matsushima is a collection of more than 260 tiny pine-covered islands located off the coast of [[Miyagi prefecture]]. Along with [[Itsukushima Shrine]] and [[Amanohashidate]], it is considered one of the Three (Most) Beautiful Views in Japan.
Among the famous sights amongst the Matsushima islands is the temple of [[Zuiganji]], the Godaidô Hall of which was originally built in [[807]], and rebuilt in [[1604]].
Though the 2011 March 11th tsunami directly struck Matsushima, its force was broken up by the islands, protecting both the islands themselves and a section of nearby mainland coastline from more severe damage.
