Matsushimakaigan Station is located approximately 40 minutes North-East via JR Senseki Line from Sendai Station. Matsushima was once used as a military port by the famed ruler Date Masamune. Matsushima (Matsushima = “Pine Island”) is a bay surrounded by many pine tree-dotted islands, some of which can be crossed via bridges.
Matsushima is one of my favourite locations to visit in Miyagi because of its deep connection with nature and history. My recommendation is to go to Oshima Island, often overlooked and skipped because it is further away, but more secluded and less busy early in the morning.
Locations:
Matushima-Kaigan Station
Oshima Island
Kanrantei Tea House
Godaido Temple
Zuiganji Temple
Fukuura Island
Saigyo Modoshi no Matsu Park
The Let’s Go Series was produced to inspire my ES children to get outside and explore. Only basic English is used in the videos so that children learning English as a second language can follow along.
