Matsushima Bay
Admire the tiny landmasses of Matsushima Bay, a coastal area known for its scenery, wealth of vantage points, and sightseeing cruises. From the mainland, four long-established viewpoints represent the most popular way of experiencing the bay; visit them all for different vistas of the offshore collection of pine covered islands. Alternatively, opt to take one of the many cruises around the bay for up-close inspection of the varying rock formations, as well as the black and red pines topping the 260 grey rock islets. Put Matsushima Bay into our Matsushima-machi travel itinerary planner to see other points of interest to visit during your vacation in Matsushima-machi.

Gorgeous! One of the traditional "Three Views of Japan", a couple dozen small islands dot a pristine bay. Bridges and boats link many of the islands. The area has been a natural landmark for centuries, and as such sculptures and small obelisks are arrayed on the islands. To offer a geeky aside: if you're a fan of the games of Cyan Worlds, the islands super feel like an area out of Myst. ;)
