Otakamori

The most popular vantage point among the “Matsushima Shitaikan” (Four Panoramic Views of Matsushima) is the “Sokan” (The Gorgeous View) on this peak!

The Sokan on Otakamori is one of the Four Panoramic Views of Matsushima. From the top of this mountainous 105.8m-high hill, a grand 360-degree panorama spreads out in which the islands of Matsushima Bay can be seen. The beauty of the setting sun is also exceptional.

Wonderful view :)
It's a bit out of the way to get here and a bit of a hike... but totally worth it. You can get an excellent view of the small islands surrounding the mainland.

Best spot to enjoy Matsushima
I had visited Matsushima 5 times before. I thought I knew all the beautiful sightseeing places in Matsushima. And I was wrong! This place was introduced by locals, bit far from the downtown (10 min of driving) also bit of hiking too (15 - 20min to the summit) But it is totally worth it!! Nice breeze and 360℃ view from the summit. I simply enjoyed just staring at whole Matsushima for solid 10minutes. It just simply felt right to be there... I think this is one of my favorite spots in all over Japan, and Yes I am Japanese and travel A LOT.
