Enjoy walking and chairing around the islands of Matsushima

宮城県塩竈市

The trail will take you to three of the main islands, using local shuttle ferries to hop from one to the next.

From the port of Shiogama, you will go to the island.

The total distance is about 10 km, and the paths are easy to walk and relatively flat.
When we come across a beautiful view, we spread out our camp chairs and take a break to soak it up!

We will brew delicious coffee with local water and local beans. Local sweets will also be served.

Matsushima Bay Dinner with a focus on food-mileage-conscious

宮城県塩竈市

Dinner will be served at a creative modern-Japanese restaurant in Shiogama City, where you will enjoy pairing local ingredients with local sake.

Shiogama City is famous for seaweed-salt production. Enjoy sipping on sake the local way – can you see the lip of the bowl? Enjoy a salty sensation which will bring out the flavours in the local sake!

As Shiogama is a port town, fresh seafood is landed daily – especially in the fall, when it is peak tuna season! Most of the tuna you come across in Japan has been frozen before being shipped to market. This is one of the few places in Japan where you can enjoy fresh tuna!

This restaurant also makes use of oysters that would otherwise be discarded (due to their small size or other small imperfections) to make a delicious umami-filled soy sauce. This sustainable soy sauce is used in dishes and served with sashimi.
