Matsushima - June 25

We had a get-away weekend in Matsushima on June 25-26. It was our first real departure from ARI since arriving in April.
Matsushima is a little seaside village northeast of Sendai. It is listed as one of the three most beautiful places in Japan. Most foreigners do not get this far north, so we really were vacationing in Japan.
Lunch was at a restaurant with a harbor view, and then we took the island cruise through the many islands in Matsushima harbor.
Our hotel was in the next town Yamoto, 25 minutes on the train.

The next day we had a guide who spoke english show us around the Entsu-in Shrine.
