What Is a Private Day Tour of Matsushima from Sendai Like? A Licensed Guide's Report

The guests were visiting Japan for the third time from Europe. They were deeply moved by the scenery of Matsushima, saying they had never seen such a wonderful and unique landscape, and they were impressed by its history and views as a sacred site. Since explaining Matsushima in detail makes a four-hour tour from Sendai quite tight, it would be greatly appreciated if a five-hour tour could be arranged. The guests planned to stay on in Matsushima after the tour, so I guided them to places where they could enjoy food while walking around, helped them book a cruise, and parted ways at Entsuin Temple. As the guests were from Europe, I explained about the Keicho Embassy, and they were very interested.
