Kehi no Matsubara

A Sandy Swimming Beach along a Beautiful Pine Forest

Kehi no Matsubara is a beach over a kilometer long, lined with some 17,000 Japanese red and black pine trees. There are walking trails here, for year-round views of the green of the pines and the white of the sand, against the blue of the Sea of Japan. It has been nationally designated a Site of Scenic Beauty.

In summer, the beach is a popular destination for swimming or relaxing on the sand. Showers and changing rooms are available, and there are shops along the beach that sell food. Grilling is allowed on certain areas of the beach. For kids, there is a ship-themed playset on the beach, and more playground equipment in the nearby park.

Each August, Kehi no Matsubara hosts a fireworks show that takes place above lanterns floating on the sea. This is one of the largest fireworks shows in the region each summer, with over 10,000 rockets in total.
