#Overseas Travel #Japan Travel #Matsudo The Matsushima area was originally Sendai Hills. Due to the movement of the earth's crust in ancient times, the ground subsided and caused seawater to flow back. The impact of seawater and long-term wind and rain formed archipelagos of different sizes and shapes. Places worth visiting include three islands connected by bridges with unique scenery. There are also four other scenic spots, namely Ogidani, Toyama, Ōtakamori and Tamon Mountain, which are collectively known as the Four Great Views of Matsushima. ✅ One of the three most representative views in Japan ✅Very popular tourist attractions in the Tohoku region ✅There are about 260 strange rocks and islands connected to form a unique landscape transportation From Tokyo, take the JR Tohoku Shinkansen bullet train to Sendai, which takes only 90 minutes, and then transfer to the Senseki Line train, which takes about 25 to 40 minutes to reach Matsushima.

#Matsushima #Miyagi Matsushima is one of the three most scenic spots in Japan, alongside Amano-Hashidate and Miyajima. The nearest station is Matsushima-Kaigan Station, about a 50-minute train ride from Sendai. This area is famous for its oysters, but I didn't eat any this time due to my personal food preferences (lol) The scenery is amazing, and I think it's a place that anyone would be glad to have come to. This time, I visited in the evening, so I couldn't take the tourist ferry, but it seems that there are tourist ferries during the day, so if you take one, I'm sure it will be twice as fun! #Breathtaking view

First time in Sendai City. The usual attraction is Matsushima, which is known as one of the three scenic spots in Japan Because the day before was too late to go back to the hotel to rest Today we took advantage of the good weather to arrange a half-day trip to Matsushima After brunch at the hotel, take the tram to Matsushima When you come to Matsushima, remember that if you want to stay until evening, no matter how strong the sun is during the day, Be sure to bring enough warm clothes We were misled by the sun today and didn't dress warmly enough. It's really cold when the sea breeze hits after evening! Before boarding, purchase oyster cola cakes at the designated Coke shop nearby Eat hot, fresh and delicious, no wonder it is a must-eat in Matsushima😋 As for whether the Matsushima cruise is worth it, it's a matter of opinion. But my friends and I thought it was better to take the cruise time to visit Matsushima Ruiyan Temple If you decide to cruise, remember to sit on the right after boarding the boat will have more points to see My friend and I sat on the left relatively monotonous After the cruise, we headed to Yuantong Courtyard and Sanhui Hall~ Inside is a courtyard with Japanese landscaping, which is very comfortable Matsushima overall, if you do not participate in the cruise is also a lot of beautiful scenery worth seeing, in addition Matsushima fish plate is very delicious, you can enjoy your own grilled fish plate here, highly recommended! #Matsushima #Matsushima Cruise #Yuntongyuan #Sanhuidian 🏖️ Atmosphere/Facilities: Cruise experience can be tried, tickets can be booked in advance through the official website (but actually buying on site is also very convenient, and more flexible time)

#MarchDestinations2025 #Japan #Matsushima #MatsushimaCoast This bakery is located in Songdo, about ten minutes' walk from the downtown area. I think it is worth a visit. The exterior of the store doesn't look like a bakery. I hesitated for a long time at the door before I dared to step in. The store is very small and can only accommodate two groups of customers at most. I arrived at around 1:00 p.m. and there were only a few kinds of bread left. I couldn't understand the flavors when translating, so I just bought a sweet one. The bread I bought tasted like pineapple bread. It was soft and chewy, and a light milky aroma spread in my mouth. Oh my god, it was really delicious. I can understand why this bakery is famous. 📍Address: 981-0213 156, Matsushima-cho, Matsushima-cho, Miyagi Prefecture 🕰️Business hours: Wednesday to Sunday 08:30-17:00

There are more than 260 islands of various sizes scattered throughout the bay. The island is covered with lush and verdant pine trees, which contrast with the azure blue sea and white clouds, forming a beautiful picture. Take a boat tour in Matsushima Bay, and the sea breeze will bring a slight coolness to your face. Looking closely at these islands, you will find that they are of various shapes.

You can choose to eat them raw with a special sauce, and the delicious taste of oysters will instantly bloom in your mouth; you can also roast the oysters, the shell will be slightly charred, and the oyster meat inside will be sweeter and more delicious. In addition to oysters, there are also delicious crabs, shrimps and various fish.

Matsushima in Miyagi Prefecture, along with Amanohashidate in Kyoto and Miyajima in Hiroshima, is one of Japan's Three Views. Matsushima is renowned for its coastal scenery and approximately 260 islands in Matsushima Bay. Besides boat tours, there are several attractions to visit. On this trip to Matsushima, in addition to the boat tour, I visited Godaido, Zuiganji Temple, and Entsuin Temple. Along the way, there are many restaurants selling the famous local oysters, and you can also visit the Matsushima Fish Market. The most famous sightseeing boat in Matsushima is the Niohmaru, which offers a 50-minute tour around Matsushima, showcasing sights such as Nioh Island, Kane Island, and Twin Islands. It takes about 40 minutes by JR from Sendai, and the attractions are within walking distance from the station. A day trip from Sendai to Matsushima is highly recommended.

#JanuaryGoodPlaces2025 Located opposite the boarding point for the Matsushima patrol boat is an antique tea shop. The first floor is the Matsushima Snow Bamboo House, and you have to go to the second floor to find the fruit shop. It is a century-old shop. I was very lucky that day and was arranged to sit by the window, where I could enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Matsushima coast. I ordered the signature pudding and honey cake, and a cup of black coffee. The pudding has a classic Japanese tea shop flavor, with slightly bitter caramel sauce drizzled on the harder pudding; the honey cake is made only with wheat, milk, eggs and honey, and has a simple yet monotonous flavor, and has a solid texture. The store also sells some souvenirs, such as black bean tea and honey biscuits. A trip to Songdo is a good place to rest and relax while enjoying the sea view. 🕰️Business hours: 10:00 - 17:30 (Closed on Tuesdays) 📍Address: 2F, 109, Matsushima-cho, Miyagi-gun, Miyagi Prefecture 💞Recommended food: honey cake. pudding

Matsushima, about a 50-minute train ride from Sendai Station, is a famous tourist destination that is counted among the Three Views of Japan, but the autumn leaves are especially beautiful. The red, green, and yellow trees create a wonderful gradation that delights the eyes of visitors. After viewing the autumn leaves, my personal favorite plan is to take a sightseeing boat and watch the sunset 😌 ▶︎Notes ☀︎ Matsushima can be explored on foot, so you don't need a car. ☀︎ There are plenty of dining options, from restaurants where you can eat delicious seafood bowls to restaurants where you can eat while walking around, so it's also recommended for eating while walking around! #DomesticTravelRecord #MatsushimaTourism #Seafood #AutumnLeafSpots #Miyagi #Matsushima #AutumnTrip #AutumnTrip

Matsushima is so calming. Went during mid Nov 2024 winter. Weather was cold & perfect. Sun was glaring hot. The view is stupendous. Imagine looking at that view when you are having your meals. Air is fresh. Views are breathtaking. Woke up at 530 to catch the sunrise at 615. Took awhile to walk out but we caught the sunrise right at the red bridge. Explore the island at the other end of the bridge & the views are worth waking up so early for! For lunch we walked further down & visited two temples. Godaido & Zuiganji. The trees are so tall & straight. Red leaves were starting to sprout. Was a short trip but I totally enjoyed my walks there. Definitely created fond memories there. What are you waiting for? Go book already!

We stopped off for dinner at Umechaya, a restaurant serving local cuisine in Matsushima. The staff are very friendly and helpful, and the restaurant has a warm atmosphere. An English menu is available for foreign tourists, so anyone can feel at ease. There are few restaurants open late in the Matsushima area, so this is a rare find. The tuna dishes in particular were excellent and extremely fresh! I also tried ginkgo nuts for the first time, which are a great snack to go with alcohol, and the aroma was irresistible. Umechaya, where you can enjoy local flavors, is the perfect spot to end your trip. If you want to enjoy a relaxing night in Matsushima, be sure to visit! #0yentravelnovember #miyagiprefecturetourism #matsushimatourism #matsushima

In the second half of the island tour, we went out on the deck to feel the wind and enjoy the breathtaking scenery✨ What was particularly impressive were the seagulls that followed behind the boat! Riding the wind from the boat, they gracefully soared as if they were surfing, which was adorable to watch. We could also see the popular Fukuurabashi Bridge from the boat! To fully enjoy the island tour, don't just sit inside the boat, but step outside and feel the wind! Experiencing Matsushima's island tour with all five senses is a special experience that will stay in your heart♪

We enjoyed island hopping in Matsushima! Even on a weekday, there were quite a few people on board, and it really is a popular tourist spot✨ Unfortunately, it was cloudy that day, but we were still impressed to see so many islands with unique shapes that were created over many years! I imagine that on a sunny day, the scenery would be even more beautiful, and I want to go back again. It was a long boat trip, so at first we sat inside the boat and looked at the islands, but halfway through, we decided to go outside to feel the breeze. It felt great to feel the breeze directly! We were overwhelmed by the natural beauty that is unique to Matsushima♪ #0yentravelnovember#Miyagiprefecturetourism #Matsushima

#0yentripnovember When I visited Matsushima, I was first overwhelmed by its beautiful scenery. The scenery created by the large and small islands floating in the blue sea was truly spectacular and soothing to the soul. When I went around the islands on a sightseeing boat, the view from the sea was even more beautiful, and I could feel the silence and power of nature. The town of Matsushima itself is calm, and there are historical temples and hot spring towns, making it the perfect place to relax. There is a wealth of cultural heritage, especially Zuiganji Temple and Godaido, and I felt that it was a place where I could discover new charms every time I visited. I was surrounded by the calm atmosphere and natural beauty of Matsushima, and I was able to refresh both my body and mind.
