Snowy Glory of Matsushima Bay

As if being celebrated as one of Japan's top three scenic spots isn't enough, Matsushima Bay in Miyagi Prefecture got covered with a fresh dump of snowfall - and the result is a beautiful bay area covered with a blanket of snow! Meandering through the town and the numerous islands there, there is guaranteed a good view wherever you may turn. Furthermore, with this sunny day brightening the white-covered town, it can only mean one thing - photography opportunities!
