Matsushima 2
This is one of the well-known islands in Matsushima(by the way, Matsu means pine tree in Japanese, shima means island so its literally pine tree islands.. haha) called “Kane-jima(bell island)”. when the wind hits the holes of the islands, it makes sound like clanging the bell.

Matsushima 3…
This is another weird island in Matsushima. The shape of this island is a result of erosion caused by the ocean waves. the reason why its called “Nio-jima(Deva kings->the guardian gods of a temple gate)” is, its shape looks like a man sit…..
