Three Views of Japan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Three Views of Japan (日本三景 Nihon Sankei) is the canonical list of Japan's most famous sights, somewhat akin to the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The list is usually attributed to scholar Hayashi Razan, who first listed them in 1643.
The Three Views are:
- Matsushima Bay, Miyagi Prefecture
- Amanohashidate, Kyoto Prefecture
- Itsukushima (Miyajima), Hiroshima Prefecture
