The facility features a Japanese garden, a rooftop garden, restaurants, museums, and other attractions. The Japanese garden within the facility offers beautiful seasonal views of cherry blossoms, fresh greenery, and autumn leaves, with the reflections in the pond created in Matsushima Bay being a must-see; the rooftop garden's "Sky Rooftop Observation Deck" provides the best vantage point to overlook more than 260 islands floating in the bay, making it an ideal spot to take in the stunning scenery of Matsushima Bay. Additionally, the restoration of the "Matsushima Park Hotel," designed by Czech architect Jan Letzel, features Japan's only decagonal three-story tower, the "Letzel Tower," which is also a major highlight. The facility includes several restaurants, offering options such as a seafood barbecue restaurant and an all-you-can-eat Sanriku sashimi restaurant. A popular snack while strolling is the pancake made with locally famous oysters. Other attractions include the "Miyagi Prefecture Matsushima Detached Palace Museum," which introduces the history of Matsushima, and the "Happy Carillon Bell," where couples can make love pledges.
