Scenic little town with lots to view. We walked the town and explored all the tourist sights. Took a short boat ride around the bay for 1000¥ ,if you want to sit upstairs on boat you’ll need to pay another 600¥. Main Shrine currently under renovation

It's amazing.
It's amazing. There's such an incredible amount to do and see. We explored for 5 hours two days in a row in the freezing cold and would do it again in a heartbeat it was so nice. So many restaurants, hotels, gift shops, places of outstanding beauty, museums... amazing.

It is really a beautiful view, with all those small islands covered with pine trees! The region is very prepared for the tourists, including bridge to one of the islands for people that like to walk around the trees!
The Zuiganji temple is one of the most beautiful I've seen!

Very beautiful coastal town!
Very beautiful coastal town!
Having two different train stations on each side of the town, makes the getting to/from very flexible and easy.
Definitely a must see when visiting Sendai or the Tohoku/Myagi Area.

This is a very nice little town and a nice place to visit - I would go back. Good harbour cruise, nice temple visit - there are three close together.
Oh and the castle shown on google maps is FAKE; its not a castle its a private residence.

Matsushima is a tiny place and does not have a lot to offer...
Matsushima is a tiny place and does not have a lot to offer - also like any other traditional Japanese town it closes down at 6 PM - literally. Most restaurants and shops are closed, the streets atr dark. Not much to do. It is a great place for a short stopover.
An amazing traditional Japanese hotel (ryokan), exceeding all expectations. Hotel staff went out of their way to greet the guests and make them feel welcome. Rooms are very stylish and clean, and the view of the Matsushima bay is gorgeous. Amenities include an open-air onsen (hot bath) with the view of the bay. Dinner was also very special and tasty. We had a lovely time here, and if I'm ever visiting Japan again, I'll make sure to return to this ryokan for a couple of days.
Very friendly and helpful staff. Clean, large room with private bathroom and toilet. Great view onto the bay. Accessible rooftop with 360° view. Multiple shared baths (onsen) including outdoor bath. The first morning there was a buffet style breakfast as advertised, the second morning a rich traditional Japanese style breakfast. The free shuttle service from / to the train station is convenient if you have a lot of luggage.
It's a new guesthouse that's a well constructed residential-type home with individual rooms. Everything is modern, with aircon (minisplits) for heating and cooling. The windows are good and effective at soundproofing from outside.
The owner is kind and fluent in English and knows Matsushima very well.
Location can't be beat in the heart of the waterfront area, just a minute walk from the bay!
The excellent breakfast, the jazz music, the wood fire in the evening, the proximity to the town and the park nearby, the easy washing machine and dryer, pleasant, helpful staff. Also the beds were comfortable. The bathroom was small but clean. The Japanese baths were great. We hadn't expected those- so an added extra.The free shuttle service to the station was a good help.
The location was the best in Matsushima. It was just off the main bay road, but you heard no traffic. Nothing closer could be so quiet. The proprietor Agsh was considerate and attended to all my needs effortlessly. He made it very easy for this non-Japanese speaker. I heard him speaking a few other languages with guests beyond English.
The guesthouse is located right in the middle of all the main attractions of Matsushima and an easy 10 minute walk from the station. Our host, Eiju, was very friendly, spoke excellent English and had great tips for exploring the local area. Everything was spotlessly clean and this guesthouse is very good value for money.
This was a modern Japanese style hotel, with a wonderful onsen and fantastic views. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. They even gave us a half bottle of sparkling wine for my birthday, which was much appreciated!
We had a wonderful stay here and would highly recommend.
This was the best experience I’ve had in Japan. The staff were extremely welcoming and it felt like I was staying with friends. The restaurant was fabulous and the location was great. My room was on the bayside and I would watch the sun rise each morning, breathtaking.
The staff Amazing Kaiseki-ryori dinner and buffet breakfast. Rooftop access gives a good view of the town, but limited view of the bay. The 2 communal onsens are good with the 2 baths rotating between male and female access for the morning and evening.
The beautiful hotel had an excellent room with a view. We do not like buffets, but we made exception. Each main meal was made to order. Best high quality sushi and steak. We will definitely recommend to our friends.
Great onsen (women and men separate) with a view on the Matsushima bay from the 5th floor, delicious meals prepared in front of you, refreshments during the day included. Overall very nice chilled experience!
The staff was very accommodating and friendly. They waited for us for dinner because we got lost finding the hotel. The food was very good and the onsen was relaxing. and uncrowded.
Room was spacious and comfortable. The couple who ran the place was so lovely. Overall, it was a pleasant stay for us. Good location if you want to explore Matsushima.
