Yes, we are getting a big breakfast at Mcd at 7am in the morning.
As the box cover says, a big breakfast is a great start to your day.
Breakfast time as we wait for our turn to board the bus.
Finally on the bus!
Today, we are going to Yamagata.
The weather was super nice that day and the sky was so blue.
We got picked up at 8.10am and our first stop is Matsushima (松島) at Miyagi-ken.
As the journey was long, we were provided with a bento box for lunch on the bus.
It is a inari bento with beans, kanpyo, hijiki seaweed and sesame.
After lunch, we had a short toilet break. We were so lucky that the weather here was good too.
At Matsushima, we had 90 mins to explore around by ourselves.
This here is the Godaido Temple.
This area here must be a popular tourist spot as there were so many other travel buses there.
When the weather is nice, every single picture that you takes look good.
Matsushima has one of the top 3 most scenic spot in Japan according to this sign.
There are 2 famous temples in the area: 1. Zuiganji Temple; 2. Etsuin Temple.
The grounds are huge is a nice area to walk around.
There are some shops nearby too.
As we still had some time to spare, we went to this shop where we got to grill our own fish cake.
It was a pretty nice experience, though the grilling area does get crowded and you will have to wait for your turn.
We also got to try the famous zunda shake there. Zunda is a specialty of Sendai and the souvenir shop here sells zunda snacks too.
In the background of this picture is the Matsushima Castle.
Once back on the bus, we were each given a small snack by the tour guide.
When you are on a bus tour, sometimes you do get small little snacks from the tour company.
