    100 foxes, including the Ezo red fox (Hokkaido fox) and many rare species such
    as silver fox, arctic fox (blue fox), platinum fox, cross fox, and others.

  • Matsushima: one of the three best views of Japan

    Visit Matsushima, the general name for a group of 260 large and small islands
    scattered across Miyagi Prefecture, along the coast of Matsushima Bay, and on
    Matsushima Bay. View the breathtaking scenery in Matsushima, one of Japan's
    three most beautiful destinations. Admire the black and red pines that stand
    tall on the gray-white rocks as island after island floats in the calm
    Matsushima Bay. Appreciate the surrounding scenery of Ogidani (扇谷), Tomiyama
    (富山), Otakamori (大高森), and Tamonzan(多聞山), which is known as the "Four Views of
    Matsushima," famous for standing on the island and enjoying the various
    expressions of Matsushima, attracting domestic and foreign tourists.

    Entsuin is the oldest architecture in Matsushima and is an important cultural
