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.

A location at the sea with beautiful view. The hospitality is great, staff very friendly. A nice feature is that you get to choose your own yukata. One person in particular, had lived 16 years in Spain, helped is with his English skills and gave us great service. The room was pleasant, the futons comfortable. We had a private bath on the inner waranda. Dinner was exceptional, a real wow factor. Same for breakfast, amazing.

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 :)

Room is big enough and hotel close at train station. The staff (front door man) is very friendly and helpful.
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.
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.
The owner of this guesthouse is very friendly and outgoing. He knows about Matsushima and speaks English very well that he can share many tips on visiting Matsushima;
The location is excellent - it sits near the center of Matsushima Bay so that I can visit any sightseeing spots simply by walking.
I would definitely recommend this guesthouse for any backpackers who are looking for a guesthouse to stay for 1-2 nights at Matsushima.
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.
Most of all I loved how the staff treated us, they responded to all of our requests. Especially grateful to the dinner and breakfast manager. I appreciate them preparing vegan meals and taking into account all of our food restrictions.
Location is great, within walking distance to all the main attractions.
The Hotel has an open roof where you can enjoy a beautiful sunrise/sunset view in Matsushima.
The excellent breakfast, the jazz music, the wood fire in the evening, the proximity to the town and the park nearby, the easy washing machine and dryer, pleasant, helpful staff. Also the beds were comfortable. The bathroom was small but clean. The Japanese baths were great. We hadn't expected those- so an added extra.The free shuttle service to the station was a good help.
Our room had a picturesque view of the bay. The outdoor private onsen was superb. It's a short walk from the property to the red bridge connecting to Fukuura island, and also a walking distance to the Entsuin temple complex. Japanese breakfast was delicious. We also enjoyed the outdoor foot bath in the evening. It was an overall lovely ryokan with English-speaking staff.
The food was outstanding (we are french and therefore very picky with this). The onsen facilities were also great although the watter was a bit too hot. The personel was definitely the best part, especially Nana, who spoke flawless English and really took the time to answer all questions and guide us through the Japanese culture. Special thanks to her!
This is one of the friendliest places I've ever stayed at. The owner is friendly and knowledgeable and worked to make an atmosphere where guests from abroad and around Japan can meet and chat. The place is really spotless and great care clearly went into that. Each room also has a fresh air fan to bring in filtered air from outdoors.
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.
The hotel was quite nice, little bit old fashioned, but clean. The room was large enough, in traditional Japanese style (tatami).
The spa ("onsen") was really good, we enjoy it very much!
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.
Very large room. Very friendly, helpful staff. Excellent breakfast and dinner with large buffet. Easy walk to main street of Matsushima. We recommend and would return.
Absolutely friendly host-couple! They welcomed the guests with a little quiz on the islands of Matsushima - great humour! Very nice and big tatami-room.
