Entsūin Temple

A serene 17th-century Zen temple known for its beautiful gardens, pagoda, and connection to the Date clan in Matsushima, Miyagi Prefecture.

Tips from the community

Tucked just beyond Matsushima Bay is Entsuin. When you picture traditional old Japan — gardens, bamboo forests, shrines, and temples — all of that is here and more. Quite like Arashiyama in Kyoto, but far, far less touristy and much more relaxing, Entsuin is one of our favorite attractions in Japan.
