Adding a Tohoku tour to Matsushima for a boat trip, grilled oysters, fish cakes, and scallops is a great deal. Just be aware that many attractions close after 4 PM, so it's recommended to leave early. Zuigan-ji Temple in Matsushima is highly recommended. Tateyama-ji Temple in Yamagata is also highly recommended. If time is limited, you can skip the Basho Memorial Museum.

The biggest advantage of visiting these tours in the summer is that you don't have to squeeze with crowds, there are no queues at attractions, and you don't have to wait long to take photos. The quality of the tour is much better than in winter. Zao Ogama is very beautiful. The weather is cold and windy, so you need to wear a jacket even in summer, otherwise you will be shivering. Our tour guide, Ji Fang, is very friendly. I often encounter difficult customers in my work, so I feel bad asking the tour guide to do anything extra. But she took the initiative to speak up and put the guests first, making them feel her enthusiasm. The return trip takes two hours, and she thoughtfully asked the driver to stop at a rest stop along the way so that the guests wouldn't have to hold their urine for too long. Lunch was delicious and we ate our fill. I recommend this tour to anyone who wants to go.

It saves a lot of time waiting for buses, changing buses, and walking during the trip. You can chat and confirm attractions on the bus, and sleep whenever you want—it's so convenient!

5G signal is almost available in the city. The native SIM card guarantees compatibility with tools like ChatGPT and Gemini. I've already repurchased it three times. Highly recommended! 3GB per day on average is more than enough. The only downside is that it only offers 4-day and 7-day options.
