We selected Breeze bay based on the reviews: and it did not disappoint. Although the building is not as modern or fancy as some others closer to the water, it was comfortable and provided all we could want. The facilities at the hotel are varied, and target guest relaxation: we especially enjoyed the private pool. The food in the restaurant was extremely tasty and well presented.
The staff are the best feature of this hotel. From the greeting at the front door to the service in the restaurant, the staff are friendly and efficient. For overseas guests, this personal touch makes everything more comfortable. This might seem like a small thing, but the staff were putting up a Christmas tree as we arrived, and the simple pleasure they showed, made me feel very much at home. As a final comment We were very grateful to have a taxi deliver us to and from the JR train station.
Uchi is situated in Matsushima, 200 metres from Zuigan-ji Temple. Guests can enjoy listening to music or watching TV in the common area. You will find a shared lounge at the property.

The guesthouse is in a great location, close to the pier and the temple.
The room and facilities were exceptionally clean.
And most importantly the host is so friendly and helpful! He speaks perfect English and was eager to talk about Japanese culture and listen about ours :)
I couldn’t recommend more!

What a fantastic place to stay. Incredible staff, food, onsen, views, rooms! I loved it. I ate one of the most memorable meals of my life, and loved the tatami room. Private onsen maybe wasn't worth it considering hardly anyone was at the others when I was there, but it was very nice and no regrets! I do wish I had got the slow train from Sendai instead of the fast train, to see the seaside and arrive better situated in relation to the hotel. But that's my fault, but the hotel's! It had great access for some lovely sights, and when the rain started, I just enjoyed the onsen.
Located in Matsushima in the Miyagi region with Entsuin Temple nearby, Matsushima Koumura provides accommodation with free private parking, as well as access to a hot tub.

Room was spacious and comfortable. The couple who ran the place was so lovely. Overall, it was a pleasant stay for us. Good location if you want to explore Matsushima.
Ooedo Onsen Monogatari Premium Hotel Sokan is located in Matsushima, 11 km from Shiogama Shrine, 25 km from Sendai City Community Support Center, as well as 1.6 km from Entsuin Temple.
Scenic little town with lots to view. We walked the town and explored all the tourist sights. Took a short boat ride around the bay for 1000¥ ,if you want to sit upstairs on boat you’ll need to pay another 600¥. Main Shrine currently under renovation

It's amazing. There's such an incredible amount to do and see. We explored for 5 hours two days in a row in the freezing cold and would do it again in a heartbeat it was so nice. So many restaurants, hotels, gift shops, places of outstanding beauty, museums... amazing.

It is really a beautiful view, with all those small islands covered with pine trees! The region is very prepared for the tourists, including bridge to one of the islands for people that like to walk around the trees!
The Zuiganji temple is one of the most beautiful I've seen!

Very beautiful coastal town!
Very beautiful coastal town!
Having two different train stations on each side of the town, makes the getting to/from very flexible and easy.
Definitely a must see when visiting Sendai or the Tohoku/Myagi Area.

This is a very nice little town and a nice place to visit - I would go back. Good harbour cruise, nice temple visit - there are three close together.
Oh and the castle shown on google maps is FAKE; its not a castle its a private residence.

Matsushima is a tiny place and does not have a lot to offer...
Matsushima is a tiny place and does not have a lot to offer - also like any other traditional Japanese town it closes down at 6 PM - literally. Most restaurants and shops are closed, the streets atr dark. Not much to do. It is a great place for a short stopover.
An amazing traditional Japanese hotel (ryokan), exceeding all expectations. Hotel staff went out of their way to greet the guests and make them feel welcome. Rooms are very stylish and clean, and the view of the Matsushima bay is gorgeous. Amenities include an open-air onsen (hot bath) with the view of the bay. Dinner was also very special and tasty. We had a lovely time here, and if I'm ever visiting Japan again, I'll make sure to return to this ryokan for a couple of days.
I loved this guesthouse!! The location is closeby to Matsushimakaigan station, roughly 10 minute walk. I loved the house, inside you can see was new but it reminded me of beach houses in Australia. The facilities were very clean. The house is tucked away in a quiet street, but super close to the town's attraction. We really enjoyed talking to the host and guests there, the host speaks solid English and gives good recommendations!!
Very friendly and helpful staff. Clean, large room with private bathroom and toilet. Great view onto the bay. Accessible rooftop with 360° view. Multiple shared baths (onsen) including outdoor bath. The first morning there was a buffet style breakfast as advertised, the second morning a rich traditional Japanese style breakfast. The free shuttle service from / to the train station is convenient if you have a lot of luggage.
A lovely retro atmosphere hotel on a steep hill overlooking Matsushima bay. Really excellent quality and variety of breakfast served on each of the days. Welcoming and helpful hosts and appreciated the free shuttle to the station as the hotel is on a hill, it was a nice touch. The free private baths were nice, especially the hinoki bath. A lovely view from the room of forest and sea.
Absolutely beautiful hotel, with the nicest owners and staff. Our rooms were comfy and well appointed in the traditional Japanese style. The breakfast was very nice and inexpensive, we liked having 3 main choices. Location was great, a nice stroll into town, and we had a great view of the fireworks on our last night. One member of our party also enjoyed the onsen!!
The owner was an amazing guy, he speaks fluent English, and was very passionate about Matsushima. Gave me a great recommendation about where to eat lunch, and a couple places I absolutely had to see in my short stay there. The home was super comfortable, and the location was as good as you can get if you want to be next to the coast/temples/downtown.
It was absolutely beautiful with a view of the bay from our room. The room was very nicely decorated and spacious. Staff were so nice and helpful! And the food is excellent. We loved soaking our feet on the terrace!
The views from the room and from the onsen were great. The room was large, comfortable and clean. The breakfast was absolutely amazing - the best I've had in Japan. The staff were very helpful and spoke good English.
The beautiful hotel had an excellent room with a view. We do not like buffets, but we made exception. Each main meal was made to order. Best high quality sushi and steak. We will definitely recommend to our friends.
Amazing hotel with nice facilities and restaurants. Beautiful view of the Matsushima Bay for those staying at Ocean View rooms. Wide variety of food (japanese, western and chinese) buffet for breakfast and dinner.
The owner was very friendly and we were surprised to see so many guest photos at the reception desk. The room was Japanese style and the quilt was very comfortable. The hotel locates at a very quiet neighborhood.
Great onsen (women and men separate) with a view on the Matsushima bay from the 5th floor, delicious meals prepared in front of you, refreshments during the day included. Overall very nice chilled experience!
The staff was very accommodating and friendly. They waited for us for dinner because we got lost finding the hotel. The food was very good and the onsen was relaxing. and uncrowded.
The Japanese style breakfast was excellent and large, more than I could eat. Situated on a slight rise, there was a good view from our window on the third floor.
