The three locations of Matsushima (Miyagi Prefecture), Amanohashidate (Kyoto Prefecture), and Itsukushima (Hiroshima Prefecture) were referred to as the "Three Scenic Views of Japan" in 1643 by Hayashi Gaho, a Confucian scholar of the shogunate during the early Edo period.

For this reason, the Japan's Three Scenic Views Tourism Liaison Council has designated July 21st , which is Hayashi Gaho's birthday, as "Japan's Three Scenic Views Day."
