Matsusima

I went to Matsushima with my family during Golden week.

The expressway tolls have been getting cheaper, except around the Tokyo area, so we decided to go for a drive and get out of Chiba.

MATSUSHIMA is known as one of the three most famous scenic spots in Japan(Matsusima, Miyajima and Ama-no-Hashidate).

It took over 8 hours to go to Sendai, because we were caught in the traffic jam as we expected.

A lot of people went away for Golden week, just because the tolls got cheaper.

At Sendai, we had dinner, we ate GYUTAN( beef　tongue), and it tasted so good! Gyutan in Sendai was not so chewy, it was very soft, and even my daughter could eat it.

The next day, we went to Matsushima. We took a boat ride there to enjoy the scenery.

It took about 8 hours again to come back to Chiba. But in spite of the traffic jam, we could enjoy the drive very much. We could talk a lot in our car. Because as my children are getting older, they are becoming very busy, so we all haven't made much time to talk with each other at home recently.
