Miho
The Beauty of the Trees, the Legend of the Dancer
Miho-no Matsubara is one of the three key pine tree forests in Japan, with 54,000 pine trees spread across about 7 kilometers of sea shore. The view of Mt. Fuji from the beach is truly breathtaking. The area is so scenic that it was selected as one of the Three Places of Scenic Beauty in Japan in 1916.

Beyond the pilgrimage path that leads south from Miho Shrine, nicknamed “Kami-no Michi (Path of the Gods),” is the site of the legend of the celestial dancer called “Hagoromo-no Matsu (The Pine of Hagoromo).” Crowds gather in the morning on New Year’s Day to see the sun rise over the mountains of the Izu Peninsula.
