The island has an important temple and many paths/trails to take you to some nice views from the island. I got there in the morning and it was already fairly busy.

Naruko Valley

Reviewed By jaylowe - Hong Kong, China

This gorge + valley are so colourful in autumn. We drove there and it wasn't hard to get a parking spot. The whole valley was dotted with red, orange and yellow and very pretty. I found the autumn leaves here are more in red than other places in Tohoku Japan. (Most places we've been to are mostly yellow to orange in shade.) We hike down the valley and back up. It's really one of the highlights of our trip.

Okama Crater

Reviewed By saikou

Absolutely gorgeous. The weather is very variable and changes quickly - the first day we went (parking at the main parking lot) had a sunny forecast but when we got there the entire mountain top was covered in thick fog and it was pouring rain so we couldn't see it at all. It was also very windy and approaching freezing in October. The next day we hiked over from the Zao Onsen Ropeway and the weather was perfect although still jacket weather. Very glad we made the second attempt because it's fantastic - the unreal color of the lake along with the alien landscape.

Fukuurajima

It was a pleasant morning walk even though the the temp was about 1C! We thoroughly enjoyed the scenic nature. It helps that we are in our comfortable boots as some paths are abit hilly and rocky. Otherwise, even the elderly can stroll comfortably. There are a few nice romantic huts for rest and just enjoy the beautiful scenery of the sea and greenery.

As one of 日本三景,Matsushima is just 40 minutes from Sendai, taking JR Senseki Line to Matsushima Kaigan Station from JR Sendai station. Another great getaway from city life. Don’t miss it if you are in Tohoku region.
