Sunrise at Otakamori: Special Guided Trekking Experience

Otakamori in Matsushima Bay is known for being especially beautiful, called the “Spectacular View” among the lauded “Four Great Views of Matsushima.” It offers a clear panorama of Matsushima Bay, which decorates the horizon like a miniature zen-style garden. From the viewing platform at the top, you can see far and wide, from the neighboring Nobiru Coast to Ishinomaki Bay, all the way to the distant Mt. Zao, Mt. Kurikoma, and Mt. Kinkasan.
Enjoy an expertly guided trekking experience around Higashi Matsushima City and Otakamori, culminating in a majestic sunrise from a 360° panoramic view of Matsushima Bay and the wide Pacific Ocean.
