Fukuura Island (Fukuurajima) is a pine covered island in Matsushima Bay, reached via a 252 meter long, red painted bridge. Together with Oshima on the opposite side of the pier, Fukuurajima is one of the bay's few islands, that are accessible to the public. But unlike Oshima, Fukuurajima is not free to visit. There is a 200 yen bridge toll to be paid on entrance.
There is not much to see on the island besides plants and views of the bay. The island is a natural botanical garden with a network of pleasant walking trails. It takes about one hour to walk all the trails at a leisurely pace. Some nice views of the bay can be enjoyed along the way.
