Embark on a day trip from Sendai Station to explore Matsushima, one of the Three Great Views of Japan; the historic Shiogama Shrine; and the World Heritage Site, Chuson-ji Temple.

First, visit Shiogama Shrine. This shrine, with over 1200 years of history, is known as one of the most powerful spiritual spots in Tohoku, offering blessings for matchmaking and maritime safety. The beautiful vermilion-lacquered Roumon gate and the stunning view from the 202 stone steps are a must-see.

Next, in Matsushima, enjoy a leisurely stroll, taking in the beautiful islands on a sightseeing cruise and visiting Zuigan-ji Temple. For lunch, savor fresh seafood rice bowls, Sendai's famous beef tongue, and local specialty dumplings.

Finally, at Chuson-ji Temple, immerse yourself in the history and culture of the Heian period. Admire valuable cultural properties such as the Konjikido (Golden Hall) and Sankozo Museum, and experience the grandeur of history. Travel in a private vehicle with a Chinese-speaking guide (for groups of 4 or more) for a comfortable and worry-free experience.
