Miyagi Matsushima Town

Stay in Matsushima Onsen

A resort onsen area in Matsushima, one of Japan’s Three Great Scenic Views and a world-renowned scenic destination. The breathtaking views created by more than 260 islands floating in Matsushima Bay have long captivated literary figures such as Matsuo Basho, and in recent years new inns have opened where guests can soak in natural onsen water while taking in the spectacular seaside scenery. Combined with pleasure-boat cruises and historical attractions such as the National Treasure Zuiganji Temple, it has become an international hub that is hugely popular with travelers from Asia, Europe, Australia, and North America, as visitors can fully enjoy the beautiful sunrise and moonlight over Matsushima Bay from the onsen.
