About this place
The Nijinomatsubara (虹之松原) is a pine forest stretching along the sand dunes of Matsuragata, in the innermost part of Karatsu Bay, which faces the Genkai Sea in northern Kyushu. Located in the city of Karatsu, Saga Prefecture, it is considered one of Japan's three great pine groves, along with Miho no Matsubara and Amanohashidate, and is a nationally designated Special Place of Scenic Beauty. It stretches approximately five kilometers from east-to-west and is roughly 400 to 600 meters wide from north-to-south. It consists of as many as a million Japanese black pine trees. It is part of the Genkai Quasi-National Park.
