Earthquake Update Matsushima was hit by the earthquake and tsunami of March 11. Damage was not as devastating as elsewhere along the coast, and most tourist attractions, shops and hotels have reopened in the meantime. The JR Senseki Line, which provides the most convenient access to Matsushima, resumed service to the town on May 28. More about the earthquake   Matsushima, only half an hour outside of Sendai, is famous for its bay, which is dotted by many pine clad islets and has been ranked one of Japan's three most scenic views for centuries. The small town is also known for Zuiganji, one of the Tohoku Region's most important Zen temples. Any Questions? Ask them in our question forum.
