Takata-matsubara (May 2011)

Takata-matsubara (高田松原) is a nationally-designated Place of Scenic Beauty in Rikuzentakata, Iwate Prefecture, Japan.[1] Selected as one of the 100 Landscapes of Japan during the Shōwa era, there were some seventy thousand pine trees along a two kilometre stretch of beach within the Rikuchū Kaigan National Park.[2] One tree was left standing after the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami.[3][4]
