4.30 5

Last update :

One of Three Great Views of Japan along with Kyoto’s Amanohashidate and Hiroshima’s Miyajima. The grand horizon of the Pacific Ocean and large and small 260 verdant islands have been attracting many visitors since the Heian Period.

The Four views of Matsushima at the east, west, north and south spots offer the best sceneries - the view from Otakamori on the east of Matsushima Bay, from the top of Mt. Tomiyama, from Mt. Tamon at the northern edge of Shichigahama Town, and from Ogitani behind Mt. Sokan.

Not only during the day, but also at sunset and sunrise, there is no word to describe the beauty here. Cherry blossoms in spring, fresh green in summer, fall colors and winter snowscape - the expressions in changing seasons never stop alluring hearts. Matsushima Bay is calm and protected from the outer ocean, blessed with abundant seafood. Though small in size, the oyster and conger eel are so tasty that many restaurants serve them.

Highlights

  • The sublime scenery counted into Three Great Views of Japan.
  • Not only during the day, but also at sunset and sunrise are a must-see.
  • Each view in four seasons will always touch your heart anew.
  • The oyster and conger eel are Matsushima‘s gourmet food, a must-try.

    松島👉是被選為能代表日本的三景之一,也是很受長輩們來這首選的觀光景點哦,這些是有260塊奇岩怪石和島嶼相連形成的哦~行程中我們有安排搭乘遊覽船周遊松島灣內,下船後參觀被認定為日本國寶的寺院-瑞嚴寺哦~真的很敬佩日本當地維護古蹟的精神👍也是為什麼我很愛去日本旅行的目地哦❤️

    松岛的清澈海水、青翠的松林和壮丽的島嶼让人心曠神怡。每次漫步在海边,感受到大自然的力量和生命的活力,很讓我深深地陶醉其中。

    2020年 観光庁より金賞を受賞した人気のボートツアー。陸上からの眺めとはまた違って、海上からの眺めは素晴らしく、屋根も窓もなく開放的で爽快、スピード感もあって探検気分が味わえる楽しいツアーだ。深緑のボートにオレンジのライフジャケットの観光客を乗せ、大パノラマの中を爽快に周遊する体験リブツアーは感動で胸が熱くなる。

    海灣上大小島嶼加總260個之多是日本有名的三景之首,坐船遊覽整個海灣是最能欣賞景色優美的方式,牡蠣又大又肥鮮美的是這裡的特產。
