Matsushima Bay
Matsushima Bay is one of Japan's three scenic views, boasting beautiful landscapes that stretch across the eastern bay of Sendai Bay. Within the bay, there are 260 islands of various sizes, and visitors can enjoy stunning views from famous spots known as the "Four Great Views." The eastern viewpoint, "Sokkan - Okakomori," stands at an elevation of 105.8 meters, offering a 360-degree panorama. From "Reikan - Toyama," which is at an elevation of 116.8 meters, one can enjoy views through the "Toyama Kannon." At "Ikan - Tamonzan," at 55.6 meters, the Salt Port can be seen, while "Yukan - Oogidani," at 55.8 meters, offers a view of the bay's inlet that spreads like a fan. Taking a sightseeing boat to tour the islands is also highly recommended.
