Orientation

All of Matsushima's attraction and the boat pier are within walking distance of each other and Matsushima-Kaigan Station on the JR Senseki Line.

A popular way to visit the region, is to take the JR Senseki Line from Sendai to Hon-Shiogama Station (20-30 minutes, 320 yen), take a boat ride across Matsushima Bay to Matsushima, sightsee in Matsushima, and then return to Sendai by Senseki Line.
