One of most three beautiful bay in 🇯🇵!!

Welcome to Miyagi!! Miyagi is one of unforgettable beautiful place in Japan . Delicious and fresh local food , beautiful costal towns and less tourists make it for me to choose Miyagi to be one of my destinations in Japan . I base in Sendai for those small town day trips to explore the sites . Today , I made it happened to visit Matsushima. Just 40 mins JR train ride from Sendai . As usual, I am the early riser,I reach to Matsushima station before the first sightseeing cruise , get ticket near the train station -1000¥ ( ps: if you buy in ferry terminal- 1500¥) . And walk about 7 mins to ferry terminal and start off my day . Matsushima bay is famous along with Miyajima and Amanohashidate. The bay is dotted by over 200 small islands covered by pine trees.. And also one of the most famous oyster farm ( oysters here are very fresh and cheap , just 100¥ per piece , that meant 1sgd 🤭) . The 🚢 one round took 50 mins and every hourly until 4 pm and If you miss the first cruise 🚢, you will have to Q and wait like 100 plus people pie up, coz all other people come around 10 am plus 😝😝. From there , I continue to visit some beautiful temples and fukuura island where connected with long red bridge and a good and well designated hiking trail to pavilion to enjoy the whole Matsushima Bay panoramic view . Such a beautiful place to enjoy and relax yourself. Then came back to main island and have my lunch before continue with others places . Along the way , I visited Zinganji Temple before walk up to the hill park called Saigyō Modoshi no Matsu Park and enjoy the whole Matsushima bay before back to Sendai . If you are the person like me to prefer landscape and beautiful scenery rather than shopping centre , I would definitely recommend Matsushima as one of your next destinations in Japan . And also can be reach from Tokyo by 2 hours ( including Shinkansen one hours plus and additional 40 mins to Matsushima. Hope you all enjoy !! See you all on the other side of the world 🌎!! #japan #naturelover #solotravel
