Matsushima Bay	# 1   of 7 most visited sights in Matsushima
access  -  reports  -  ratings  -  links

Earthquake Update The pine clad islands of Matsushima Bay protected the town from worse damage and went mostly unharmed themselves. Sightseeing cruises of the bay and between Matsushima and Shiogama were resumed on April 29. More about the earthquake   For hundreds of years Matsushima Bay has been celebrated as one of Japan's three most scenic views (the other two are Miyajima and Amanohashidate). The bay is dotted by over 200 small islands covered by pine trees. A good way to enjoy the bay is to get on a cruise boat. There are round trips starting and ending at Matsushima and boats from Matsushima to the nearby city of Shiogama. Longer cruises will get you to the more remote areas of Oku-Matsushima which are less spoiled by industrial and urban development. Any Questions? Ask them in our question forum.
