Good view, Good food, Good service. Everything are good.
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's amazing.
It's amazing. There's such an incredible amount to do and see. We explored for 5 hours two days in a row in the freezing cold and would do it again in a heartbeat it was so nice. So many restaurants, hotels, gift shops, places of outstanding beauty, museums... amazing.

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!

Very beautiful coastal town!
Very beautiful coastal town!
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.
An amazing stay in Taikanso ! It is extremely clean and comfortable. what I love most is the Matsushima Bay view from the hotel, breakfast spread and the service provided. All staff were attentive to our needs from the moment we stepped into the hotel - from the reception to the beautiful piano melody for the guests, to the restaurant operators. Never felt so welcomed :) there is also a free shuttle to/fro train station . thank you for the amazing stay!
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.
The hosts were an extremely nice couple, who where very helpful and it seemed they really enjoyed getting to know their guests. It was a heartwearming experience.
It is the perfect place to experience a traditional Japanese hotel. While the equipment in the rooms was simplistic it was very clean and authentic. Considering the low price this was a great deal. This was one of the best accomodations on our Japan trip.
Uchi Matsushima Guesthouse can easily be reached from Matsushimakaigan Station. It is close to all the beautiful spots of Matsushima and still very cozy and quiet. The house is spacious, the beds very comfortable. The host is extremely kind and welcoming and speaks fluently English. He gave us very helpful advice and made us feel at home. Thank you very much for this unforgettable stay at lovely Matsushima.
Lovely breakfast. French style building with pigeonnier being the view point. Very good onsen/bathing facilities. Reasonably priced for matsushima. Matsushima has boat trips, elegant Temple and onsen to visit. Needs a minimum of 2 days. We didn't know they did evening meals - is worth reserving this. Good music in the background in the lobby area. A room for business activities
Our room had a picturesque view of the bay. The outdoor private onsen was superb. It's a short walk from the property to the red bridge connecting to Fukuura island, and also a walking distance to the Entsuin temple complex. Japanese breakfast was delicious. We also enjoyed the outdoor foot bath in the evening. It was an overall lovely ryokan with English-speaking staff.
Absolutely beautiful hotel, with the nicest owners and staff. Our rooms were comfy and well appointed in the traditional Japanese style. The breakfast was very nice and inexpensive, we liked having 3 main choices. Location was great, a nice stroll into town, and we had a great view of the fireworks on our last night. One member of our party also enjoyed the onsen!!
This is one of the friendliest places I've ever stayed at. The owner is friendly and knowledgeable and worked to make an atmosphere where guests from abroad and around Japan can meet and chat. The place is really spotless and great care clearly went into that. Each room also has a fresh air fan to bring in filtered air from outdoors.
The staff were very friendly and helpful. They welcomed us like we are an important guest when we checked in. The breakfast was superb. At first, I thought it was a buffet but it was actually a Japanese set meal served in a private room, much better than expected.
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.
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.
Very large room. Very friendly, helpful staff. Excellent breakfast and dinner with large buffet. Easy walk to main street of Matsushima. We recommend and would return.
