Experience Location

On the east coast of the Tohoku region, Shiogama is a fishing town located between the capital of Miyagi Prefecture, Sendai, and Matsushima, home to one of Japan’s three most beautiful views. An ideal access point to see this natural wonder, Shiogama offers sightseeing cruises to Matsushima, which consists of a picturesque bay filled with hundreds of iconic islets clad with Japanese pine trees. From 200 steps above, the central 1200-year-old Shiogama Shrine overlooks the ocean filled with its rare cherry blossom trees, while the large Shiogama Fish Market peeps from across the city.
