Nijinomatsubara is a renowned scenic pine forest located in Karatsu, Japan. Spanning approximately 4 kilometers along the coastline, this forest features over one million black pines, creating a picturesque and tranquil environment. The area is often referred to as one of Japan's three great pine groves, alongside Miho no Matsubara in Shizuoka and Kehi no Matsubara in Fukui. The forest was originally planted as a windbreak during the Edo period by the local feudal lord, Terasawa Shima-no-kami.
