We selected Breeze bay based on the reviews: and it did not disappoint. Although the building is not as modern or fancy as some others closer to the water, it was comfortable and provided all we could want. The facilities at the hotel are varied, and target guest relaxation: we especially enjoyed the private pool. The food in the restaurant was extremely tasty and well presented.
The staff are the best feature of this hotel. From the greeting at the front door to the service in the restaurant, the staff are friendly and efficient. For overseas guests, this personal touch makes everything more comfortable. This might seem like a small thing, but the staff were putting up a Christmas tree as we arrived, and the simple pleasure they showed, made me feel very much at home. As a final comment We were very grateful to have a taxi deliver us to and from the JR train station.

Check out time was 10:00, but the master told me it was 11:00. I think it was because I had ridden my bicycle over 400 kilometers to arrive there, and he wanted to give me time to rest. I enjoyed the room he gave me and enjoyed watching videos until late.

Our room offers a very nice view of the Matsushima bay area. We could see sunrise from our room. The entire place is very clean and the staff are very warm and friendly. We also like the outdoor foot bath as it allows one to relax and enjoy the view. Seat mat and towel are provided, making it very convenient for us to use.

We had an amazing star at this guest house! The host is kind and helpful and spoke perfect English. The rooms were comfortable, and we had no issues with sharing bathrooms with the other guests as the owners had provided a board on the door that stated if the shower was free or not. Even though there were other guests there, we had no issue with noise in the house.
The accommodation is close to convenience stores and to the train stations. We were staying there because of an event in Sendai, and we found it easy to travel from the guesthouse to the city.
Featuring a spa bath, Luxury ocean front house Bay-villa is located in Matsushima.

The villa was located near the water in this beautiful coastal town. Parking was convenient, near the front entrance. The interior of the house was very tasteful and clean. Everything one could need was provided, and all rooms were beautifully appointed. HIghly recommended.

A location at the sea with beautiful view. The hospitality is great, staff very friendly. A nice feature is that you get to choose your own yukata. One person in particular, had lived 16 years in Spain, helped is with his English skills and gave us great service. The room was pleasant, the futons comfortable. We had a private bath on the inner waranda. Dinner was exceptional, a real wow factor. Same for breakfast, amazing.

Exceptionally welcoming host with two friendly dogs. Beautiful, traditional interior.
Scenic little town with lots to view. We walked the town and explored all the tourist sights. Took a short boat ride around the bay for 1000¥ ,if you want to sit upstairs on boat you’ll need to pay another 600¥. Main Shrine currently under renovation

It is really a beautiful view, with all those small islands covered with pine trees! The region is very prepared for the tourists, including bridge to one of the islands for people that like to walk around the trees!
The Zuiganji temple is one of the most beautiful I've seen!

Having two different train stations on each side of the town, makes the getting to/from very flexible and easy.
Definitely a must see when visiting Sendai or the Tohoku/Myagi Area.

This is a very nice little town and a nice place to visit - I would go back. Good harbour cruise, nice temple visit - there are three close together.
Oh and the castle shown on google maps is FAKE; its not a castle its a private residence.

Matsushima is a tiny place and does not have a lot to offer...
Matsushima is a tiny place and does not have a lot to offer - also like any other traditional Japanese town it closes down at 6 PM - literally. Most restaurants and shops are closed, the streets atr dark. Not much to do. It is a great place for a short stopover.
I loved the friendly family greeting as I arrived after a very long day of touring Sendai and Matsushima. The place was exactly as advertised...a traditional Japanese Inn which is what I expected. A large tatami room, slightly dated, but with everything I needed for a comfortable night's stay and great value for money, even adding the taxi fare from the port. Hot water instantly in the in-room tub and very clean. It is ten minutes walk to Matsushima Station, but further from the main tourist activity near Matsushima Kaigan Station.
The owner of this guesthouse is very friendly and outgoing. He knows about Matsushima and speaks English very well that he can share many tips on visiting Matsushima;
The location is excellent - it sits near the center of Matsushima Bay so that I can visit any sightseeing spots simply by walking.
I would definitely recommend this guesthouse for any backpackers who are looking for a guesthouse to stay for 1-2 nights at Matsushima.
I can not say enough about this hotel. First off, location location location. The views of matsushima bay and the little islands were breath taking. Now add the ability to soak in an onsen and enjoy those views? Phenomenal. The staff were next level and beyond attentive. From the welcome tea to the seven course dinner and amazing breakfast I felt well taken care of throughout my stay. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!
Very friendly and helpful staff. Clean, large room with private bathroom and toilet. Great view onto the bay. Accessible rooftop with 360° view. Multiple shared baths (onsen) including outdoor bath. The first morning there was a buffet style breakfast as advertised, the second morning a rich traditional Japanese style breakfast. The free shuttle service from / to the train station is convenient if you have a lot of luggage.
It's a new guesthouse that's a well constructed residential-type home with individual rooms. Everything is modern, with aircon (minisplits) for heating and cooling. The windows are good and effective at soundproofing from outside.
The owner is kind and fluent in English and knows Matsushima very well.
Location can't be beat in the heart of the waterfront area, just a minute walk from the bay!
The excellent breakfast, the jazz music, the wood fire in the evening, the proximity to the town and the park nearby, the easy washing machine and dryer, pleasant, helpful staff. Also the beds were comfortable. The bathroom was small but clean. The Japanese baths were great. We hadn't expected those- so an added extra.The free shuttle service to the station was a good help.
Superb location just at Matsushima Bay, with views of the pine clad islands and Fukuurabashi. Within 20-30 minutes walk you’re in the main shopping street, Zuiganji temple and the pier for the cruises. The breakfast spread is outstanding (we were not even hungry at lunch !) as are the onsen facilities. The staff are also helpful, kind and friendly.
The staff Amazing Kaiseki-ryori dinner and buffet breakfast. Rooftop access gives a good view of the town, but limited view of the bay. The 2 communal onsens are good with the 2 baths rotating between male and female access for the morning and evening.
The views from the room and from the onsen were great. The room was large, comfortable and clean. The breakfast was absolutely amazing - the best I've had in Japan. The staff were very helpful and spoke good English.
The beautiful hotel had an excellent room with a view. We do not like buffets, but we made exception. Each main meal was made to order. Best high quality sushi and steak. We will definitely recommend to our friends.
Great onsen (women and men separate) with a view on the Matsushima bay from the 5th floor, delicious meals prepared in front of you, refreshments during the day included. Overall very nice chilled experience!
The hotel was quite nice, little bit old fashioned, but clean. The room was large enough, in traditional Japanese style (tatami).
The spa ("onsen") was really good, we enjoy it very much!
The staff was very accommodating and friendly. They waited for us for dinner because we got lost finding the hotel. The food was very good and the onsen was relaxing. and uncrowded.
