Baie de Matsushima

Matsushima is the name given to a group of 260 islands covered with scattered pine trees in the bay of the same name. The landscape constantly changes from island to island and according to the season. Matsushima is considered one of the three most beautiful places in Japan, alongside Miyajima Island near Hiroshima and Amanohasidate near Kyoto. The story says that the poet Basho, passing through Matsushitma, was incapable of writing even one verse about this place as he could not find the words to describe its beauty.
