Counted among the three most beautiful scenic spots of Japan, Matsushima has been referred to in old poems, and many prominent figures have paid it a visit. The view of the two hundred and sixty large and small islands, with green pine trees, scattered across the blue sea, is breathtaking. The changing scenery of the seasons reminds visitors of a miniature garden. Fresh oysters are a popular winter delicacy. |
