Off the mainland coast of Miyagi Prefecture sits one of Japan's three most scenic sights: a group of 260 small pine-covered islands called Matsushima (松島). Deriving their name from the Japanese translation of "pine island"—matsu (松) for "pine" and shima (島) for "island"—the destination is a draw for locals, tourists and seagulls alike. The islands are best viewed from one of four vantage points, and cruises offer the best option for getting an up-close look.
