Hirota Beach

One of the clearest beaches in the prefecture. It is loved mainly by local people.

Takada Matsubara and the miraculous single pine tree

It is a bow-shaped sandy beach that stretches from the mouth of the Kesen River to Hirota Bay, and was once one of the most representative beaches on the Rikuchu coast, but it was severely damaged by the Great East Japan Earthquake. A forest of tens of thousands of red pine and black pine trees over 300 years old had been planted over a 2km stretch, but they were washed away without a trace. The single pine tree that miraculously survived has become a symbol of reconstruction, and has been preserved as a monument for future generations.
