Enjoy Stand Up Paddleboard (SUP) and a walk on the beach at Matsushima Bay, one of the “Three Most Scenic Spots of Japan”
Matsushima is known as one of the “Three Most Scenic Spots of Japan,” along with Miyajima in Hiroshima and Amanohashidate in Kyoto. Visitors usually admire the beautiful scenery consisting of islands and the sea on a sightseeing boat, but there is another unique way to enjoy the view.
The scenery of picturesque Matsuhima taken in from upon the sea is truly stunning. The famous spot “Umanose (meaning horseback in Japanese) in Rifu” is completely different from the scenery you usually see.
The waters of Matsushima Bay are very calm, making it a perfect place to do Stand Up Paddleboard (SUP) amongst the clusters of pine-clad islets. Participants experienced in SUP are able to enjoy it there all year round, whereas beginners can try SUP from April to November. Since the instructor will teach you properly, even beginners can have an enjoyable time.
Please feel free to contact us as we can arrange an interpreter and transportation to the site.
Tour participants say
Matsushima and Umanose as viewed from the sea were totally different from what we can usually see!
Even though I was a beginner, I felt comfortable thanks to the instructor teaching me so well.

Tour participants say
The tour was a wonderful experience.
We enjoyed harvesting fresh wakame seaweed and an optional drive fishing experience.
After catching fish and harvesting wakame seaweed, we cooked and ate everything on a private raft.
We happened to bring in a big catch of sea bass that day and had an absolutely extraordinary experience.
It was refreshing to see Matsushima Bay on a route not taken by regular sightseeing boats.
