Takata-matsubara

Takata Matsubara (高田松原) was a pine grove located on the Pacific seashore of the city of Rikuzentakata, Iwate Prefecture, Japan. It was designated a nationally designated Place of Scenic Beauty in 1940.[1] and one of the 100 Landscapes of Japan during the Shōwa era.[2] After the grove was destroyed during the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami, tree planting efforts commenced in 2017 and 2018.
