Key Information
Description
Marubun Matsushima Kisen offers scenic tours of Matsushima and Shiogama for your enjoyment. Some islands can be shown only by our sightseeing boats, and we will guide you to the origin of the names of the islands and other information. Unlike photographs or distant views from the land, you can feel the sea breeze and the scent of the sea and feel the beauty of the formations created by nature up close. Furthermore, the boat operates in the bay where the waves are calm, so there is almost no need to worry about getting seasick.
