Matsushima Bay is near Sendai on the shore of the Pacific Ocean. This is one of the most beautyful sites I have seen in Japan, and whatsoever. The bay consists of over 260 islands clad with evergreen pine trees. Each island has its own name relating to a Japanese legend. On the shore of the bay a vary nice town is located, namely Matsushima - surprisingly. Temples, shrines, museum, aquarium, and a port. The nearby islands are connected with bridges. Fukuura island for example is connected with a 252 meter long red bridge. Their oyster - a kind of speciality of the place - tastes delicious indeed. Afternoon I took the sight-seeing ferry between the islands. It was very impressive to see those spreaded islands.
Lonely Planet has a list of recommended restaurants for every city. It never disappoints. I didn't miss the sushi recommendation of Sendai this evening. :)
