You are excited about your day ahead in Japan: your friends have been talking endlessly in Japanese about how beautiful this place is and how they can’t wait to show it to you. But when you arrive at this Japanese destination, you are taken aback. Not only is it beautiful, but it’s also very hilly. Apparently, you should have brought your hiking boots!

Today, we’ll discuss one of this prefecture’s most scenic Japanese areas, Matsushima, which consists of hundreds of islands and hills. We’ll also tell you about how this Japanese area has inspired others.

宮城

相対性理論で知られるアルベルト・アインシュタインが「どんな名工の技も、この美しさを残すことはできない」と語った「松島の月」。
宮城県の松島湾内外にある「松島」は、大小合わせて260あまりの島と湾周囲の丘陵を指します。日本の三大景勝地「日本三景」の一つとして選ばれている松島には、年間約370万人もの観光客が訪れるのだそう。
古来から詩歌に詠まれたり、絵画に描かれたりしてきた松島は、なんといっても「月」の美しさを特筆すべきでしょう。数多くの有名な俳句を残した、かの松尾芭蕉も代表作『奥の細道』の序文にこう記しています。旅に出る動機として「松島の月が見たいなぁと、真っ先に心に浮かんだ」と。
「白砂青松」ということばがあるように、日本の海岸には白い砂浜が続き、防風・防砂のために青々とした松が植えられていて、海の青、波や砂の白、松の緑と、その色のコントラストが愛でられてきました。
夜には金色の月が浮かび、やわらかな月明かりが周囲を照らします。母国で見上げる月も美しいものですが、松島の地にて故人を忍びながらお月見をしてみませんか。
