Overview

One of Japan's three most celebrated scenic views, where 260 pine-covered islands dot Matsushima Bay in formations that have inspired poets and painters for centuries. Walking paths along the shoreline connect temples, observation points, and oyster shacks serving the bay's famous shellfish. The view that left haiku master Basho speechless continues to move visitors today.
