Matsushima
Matsushima is one of the three most scenic spots in Japan. The other two are Amano-Hashidate (Kyoto) and Miyajima (Hiroshima). You can reach Matsushima in about 40 minutes from Sendai by train. Oysters are a local specialty. The tourist center lends you wheelchairs for free.
Possible to get in the ship by wheelchair. The problem is access. The train station (Matsusima Kaigan) is not accessible. These coast areas were hit by the 2011 earthquake and tsunami. But they are recovering now.
