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!
For this trip to Chungson Temple and Nibi Creek, we opted for a chartered car tour because we were traveling with elderly relatives who didn't want to travel long distances and take public transportation. Everyone was very satisfied. The only minor drawback was that communication with the Japanese driver still required a group chat, with the company translating and informing the driver. This was slightly inconvenient when meeting up and getting into the car. However, the driver was extremely polite, and we received a lot of traditional Japanese hospitality, which made everyone very happy. If you have basic Japanese communication skills, I would definitely recommend this company for chartering a car when visiting Sendai!
The driver, Mr. Shi, drove very smoothly and was a very nice person. It was really comfortable to play for a day. Although the sky was a little bad and it rained a little, the beautiful scenery made up for this imperfection.
