Ojima Island

Ojima Island (雄島) is a small, peaceful island near the Matsushima pier, connected to the mainland by a short bridge. The island is covered in pine trees and offers quiet walking paths with scenic views. Along the trails, you’ll find small shrines and viewpoints that make it a relaxing place to explore on foot.

In the past, Ojima was a retreat for monks, and their legacy lives on in the carved meditation caves that still remain on the island today. Although the original bridge was destroyed during the 2011 tsunami, it was rebuilt and reopened two years later, allowing visitors once again to enjoy this calm and spiritual spot by the sea.
