If you’d like to explore the north of Japan with your Japan Rail Pass, we recommend you to discover Matsushima!
Located only about 2h30 from Tokyo, in Miyagi Prefecture, beautiful landscapes await. Indeed, it is said that Matsushima Bay is one of the three most popular destinations in Japan. The famous poet Matsuo Basho even praised it in his haiku.
🏝 Three islands in Matsushima Bay are connected to the mainland by footbridges and are easy to explore. You can also enjoy the scenery from the ocean by taking a boat (there are several boats departing from Matsushima Port).
After enjoying the nature, we recommend you to spend the night in a ryokan (Japanese inn) and to relax in a rotenburo (outdoor bath) while admiring the beauty of the ocean 🌊
