Durata:
08:00 ore
Descrizione
Hotel pickup in Sendai or Matsushima. Eat grilled oysters at a bay oyster hut, visit Zuiganji and see the pine islands.
We pick you up at your hotel in Sendai or Matsushima. This private tour of about 8 hours is for the oyster season, from October to March, when the cold waters of Matsushima Bay produce rich, small oysters.
Around 09:30 we drive to the Saigyo Modoshi no Matsu viewpoint for a first look over the bay islands.
Around 10:15 you visit Zuiganji, the Zen temple of warlord Date Masamune. You walk past rock caves carved by monks and see the main hall with painted doors. Then you walk to Godaido, a small hall on an island joined by red bridges.
Around 12:00 we go to an oyster hut (kaki-goya) by the bay. You grill fresh oysters in the shell at your table over a fire, usually as all-you-can-eat for a set time. Halal food is not guaranteed; non-seafood eaters can choose other dishes in Matsushima town instead.
In the afternoon you walk to Fukuurajima island over the long red bridge, then visit the Shiogama fish market or Shiogama Shrine, an important shrine on a hill with views of the port.
Around 16:00 we drive back and you are at your hotel by about 17:00.
Your plan is customizable: you can skip the oyster hut and eat elsewhere, take a bay cruise, or swap Shiogama for Otakamori hill, within the tour time and the Matsushima area.
This is a private tour. Only your group.
If the oyster hut is closed on your date, your driver-guide takes you to a similar place nearby instead. The tour price does not change. If you prefer, we can instead have lunch at an oyster restaurant in Matsushima town.
