This Matsushima cruise package was an absolute steal! The included guided tour, conducted in both Japanese and English, was incredibly convenient and allowed me to fully appreciate the beauty of Matsushima. The hand-grilled fish cakes were also delicious, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The only minor drawback was that the oyster redemption point was a bit out of the way, located in a small shop next to the Date Masamune Museum, requiring a short walk. However, the freshness of the oysters made it all worthwhile, and I highly recommend this package!
