Matsushima, Japan - Matsushima Bay Boat Tour (2019)
Matsushima (松島町 Matsushima-machi) is a town in Miyagi Prefecture, Japan. As of 1 June 2017, the town had an estimated population of 14,105, and a population density of 263 persons per km². The total area of the town is 53.56 square kilometres (20.68 sq mi). It is most famous as the location of Matsushima Bay, one of the Three Views of Japan, and is also the site of the Zuigan-ji, Entsū-in and Kanrantei.
Matsushima Sendai - Top 3 Views of Japan (松島）Oysters Kokeshi and Boat Tour
Matsushima Bay near Sendai in Miyagi is considered one of the three scenic views of Japan (日本三景--Nihon Sankei).
It has about 250 islands of different sizes covered in pine trees. The islands range from only a few square feet with a single pine tree to larger islands with dozens of inhabitants. The bay is also known for the cultivation of oysters.
This was our first of many trips there. We explored the gardens near Entsuin Temple, the hand-carved caves used for meditation and Kate even tried oysters for the first time. We also got to paint our own Kokeshi dolls, which were handmade in front of us by a craftsman on his lathe and take a sightseeing boat tour of the bay to see all of the islands.

Matsushima, Tohokku Miyagi 東北宮城 松島
Matsushima in Tohoku Miyagi Prefecture, is a beautiful scenic spot composed of 260 scattered islands in Matsushima Bay. The Great East Japan Earthquake of 2011 hit this area and the town received damage from the tsunami afterwards.
My channel, Japan Silhouette, features beautiful scenery, traditional culture, Origami arrangement, and the warm heart of the Japanese people.
I also visit other countries and record my impression about them, perhaps from a Japanese perspective.
My blog is Japan Silhouette :
Temple, Shrine, Island, Ocean, Matsushima, Japan
Temple, Shrine, Island, Ocean, Mastushima, Miyagi, Japan
Matsushima Bay, famous for some 260 tiny islands (島 - shima) covered in pines (松 - matsu) — hence the name -- and ranked as one of Japan's Three Great Views.
In 1689, Haiku poet Matsuo Basho visited Matsushima on the trip recorded in Narrow Road to the Deep North. A well-known poem often attributed to Basho claims to record his reaction, signifying that nothing more could be said:
Matsushima ah!
A-ah, Matsushima, ah!
Matsushima, ah!
Today's Matsushima is perhaps a little less inspiring, but still a worthwhile day trip if in the region.
The town did not suffer significant damange due to the Great East Japan Earthquake; the tsunami damage was minimal. The temples, shrines, and sight seeing destinations are still there and still worth the trip.
The Senseki train from Sendai is currently functional and travel to Matsushima-kaigan station is possible.
Get in
The town is only a short distance from prefectural capital Sendai.
By train
Most visitors arrive on the JR Senseki Line (仙石線) connecting Sendai (25 minutes by express train or 40 minutes by local) and Ishinomaki. The most convenient station is Matsushima-Kaigan (松島海岸). The Matsushima station on the JR Tohoku Main Line is located a fair distance away from the seashore.
From Tokyo, the Shinkansen bullet train runs to Sendai for connection to the Senseki Line. The total one-way fare is ¥10,900 using the fastest, all-reserved shinkansen service, and the journey to Matsushima-Kaigan lasts around 2 3/4 hours. There is no charge if you use the Japan Rail Pass.
By boat
Another popular choice is to take the JR Senseki line train to Hon-Shiogama (don't mistake it with JR Tohuku line train to Shiogama station), connect to a sightseeing boat to Matsushima (viewing some of the famous islands along the way), then return by train.
Get around
Matsushima's seaside attractions are within walking distance of the train station and ferry pier, but the best views are from mountaintops not so easy to reach on foot. The most spectacular views are from Saigyo Modoshi no Matsu Park, a ¥660 cab ride up from the station. It is covered with cherry blossoms in the spring, but the food available there is nothing special. Other overlooks are Sōkanzan, a promontory that juts out into the bay, and Ōgitani, a hill across the coastal highway from Sokanzan.
See
Zuigan-ji Temple (瑞巌寺), [2]. 8AM-3:30PM (sometimes later). Matsushima's top Zen temple with over a thousand years of history, but not a top choice for relaxation: tickets are sold from vending machines and guides shouting into megaphones herd tour groups through the temple, which has been turning into a museum with everything of interest partitioned off and/or packaged in glass cases. The approach with its moss-covered Kannon statues is atmospheric though. Repairs on the main temple roof started in 2009 and are projected to last 5 or more years. ¥700. edit
Kanran-tei Pavilion (観覧亭). Originally built in Kyoto by famed Shogun Toyotomi Hideyoshi, this was eventually moved to Matsushima by Date Tadamune in 1645 and is the largest Momoyama-style tea house in Japan. An excellent place to stop for a ¥200 cup of tea (traditional Japanese sweets included) and a view of the Matsushima coastline.
Fukuura Island (福浦島; Fukuura-jima). Connected to the mainland by a long bridge, the island is crisscrossed in all directions by paths small and large, paved and muddy, well-trod and overgrown. A circuit of the island won't take more than an hour and there are some very sparsely beautiful spots to be seen. An interesting anecdote, there is a local superstition that crossing the bridge with a girlfriend/boyfriend will cause a breakup.
Do
Ōtakamori (大高森). One of The 4 Famous Places to view Matsushima Bay and a good place to catch the sunset over the island. The start of the 1-km trail to the top is some 3 kilometers from the Pila Youth Hostel in Oku-Matsushima.

Vlog 76: Weekend in Sendai - March 2008
Hi guys! Long time no vlog.
For the past several months, I have been working as volunteer on-call shift leader for a local group supporting Barack Obama. It was a great experience and nice way to transition back to the U.S.
Now, I plan to get on with job-hunting and hopefully find something that will enable me to travel to Japan often.
This is the first video in a new series I plan to create called Japan - My home for 8 years. The first one is of Sendai & Matsushima in Miyagi-ken. The footage is shaky, I aplogize for that, my filming skills need improvement.
I miss Japan immensely and all the wonderful friends I made there over the years and through the YouTube community. I hope to get back to Japan to live again someday, I love it and miss it everyday.

Shiogama Minato Festival - JVT 2012-04
This festival was started after the second world war to pray for divine protection and inspiration as the people of the region struggled through the post-war reconstruction period. Deities from the two hilltop Shiogama and Shiwahiko Shrines are carried in procession in two mikoshi portable shrines to the harbor. Each mikoshi is then placed on its own special ship which sails around scenic Matsushima Bay, accompanied by dozens of fishing boats. The festival takes on a special significance this year, as the region once again faces the difficult task of reconstruction.
