A walk through to Cape of Miho through a forest of black pines. Miho-no-Matsubara, a coastal pine tree grove, a forest path we walked through lined with pine trees (some as old as 200 years). The smell of the fir forest was sumptuous. Legend has it that one day a local fisherman found a special kimono on one of the trees. He took it down for his daughter but had not gone far with it when a heard in a sweetest voice asking for it back. He turned around to see angel who had been for a swim asking for it back. When he refused she began to sing how she would be back allowed in to heaven if she did not have her kimono. The fisherman taking pity said she could have it back if continued to sing as she floated heavenward. It is said that the smell of the kimono and the sound of her singing hangs in the forest to this day. Hagoromo is the tree of the legend of Miho where the kimono was found. The path to Miho shrine leads straight from the tree. Miho foreshore also offers one of the finest views of Mount Fuji.

This beautiful beach with shops is the midpoint between Hakone and Osaka. First, the wide beach is grayish with fine sand. We saw many tourists, especially Chinese. Randomly scattered are small souvenir shops including one totally matcha shop -- many tasting opportunities. One strikingly contemporary shop was the Cultural and Creativity Center, where we found interesting items related to Miho Beach. The shop staffs are very polite. We skipped the large shrine because of the many steps.
The view of Mt Fuji was partially obscured by haze or fog.

One of the highlights of our trip. From port to Miho no Matsubara there were clouds obscuring Fuji-san. Once we reached the small group of shops before the climb to the beach, the clouds moved and we were blessed with our first sighting of this inspirational sight.
As we moved onto the beach, we were able to see Fuji-san towering over the pine groves along the beach.
This beach has more to see and enjoy than just Fuji-san. Enjoy the shade of the pine grove, discovery the Legend of Hagoromo.

Walk in the pine grove. Walk on the beach. Stand in awe of the grandeur of Mt. Fuji. On a clear day, this is a walk that will reward you with truly memorable views and photographs.
Easily accessible by bus from Shimizu Station. Plan on spending much longer than you think will be necessary; you won't want to hurry through this walk.

Fantastic view of Mt Fuji from here. It was easy to reach from Shimuzu. Leave the station and head for the bus. It’s all signposted in English and the bus makes announcement in English when you reach the right stop and the signs to Miho no Matsubara are also in English. There’s a visitor centre, toilets and some shops and restaurants. Nice promenade lined with pine trees to walk along or you can walk along the beach.

This is a landmark very old pine tree in Shimizu, Japan. Catch the bus out of station 3 at the Shimizu train station -- all these buses go to Hino Beach. Get off at the Hagoromo-no-Matsu Iriguchi bus stop which is about 25 minutes from the train station (360-yen), go across the street, down the lane at the traffic light and turn right then left. You’ll see a nice temple and also the start of the Kami-no-michi or God’s Road. It is a nice wooden walkway leading to the Hino beach area. The boardwalk is lined with beautiful pine trees. Continue on at the end and you’ll get to the Hagoromo-no-Matsu which is an old pine tree and then you’ll see the pebbly sand Hino beach. On clear days you can get very scenic photos of Mount Fuji from here.

We were on a cruise and decided to go out on our own that day. We walked from the boat a short distance to catch the bus which was about two dollars. When you’re on the bus it actually announces the name of where we were getting off. Cross the street walked a couple blocks till we got to the entrance. You walk down a long path that is lined with pine trees. It is beautiful and very relaxing. When you get to the end you’ll be at the beach. There was a couple stores there to buy souvenirs and of course some softserve ice cream was available. We got some great pictures and we were lucky enough to be able to see Mount Fuji that day.

A great viewing spot to see Mt Fuji. On the four weeks we had been in Japan Mt Fuji had been invisible when we were in a location where we might have had a glimpse. So we were not very hopeful.
After a walk along the boardwalk through the pine trees we arrived at the black sand beach. It was sunny, but hazy, however we did finally see Mt Fuji in the middle distance.
To see the mountain on a clear day from this beach would be spectacular.

I was a member of the Staff of the 5th Air Force Sea Survival School. I lived in the home of the local Obasan across from the village laundry and about a block from the onsen. It was the most beautiful and serene area I had ever visited or lived in. The location close to Fuji, Hakone, Ashinoko and the entire Izu Peninsula allowed for much beauty and tranquility. It was truly a memorable place and once which In intend to visit again soon.

Finally, we were able to view Mount Fuji with clear view. We should have just come over to this beach right away without going to Nihondaira. The exception in this place is the beach that is not well maintained, full of rubbish on the beach like old television, drinking bottles etc.

Hi, can you get from Tokyo to Miho Beach using a JR pass?
Written August 12, 2018
Take SHINKANSEN from Tokyo terminal to SHIZUOKA and change trains to TOKAIDO line (east-bound) , get off at the second stop SHIMIZU and use SEA-bus in front of JR Shimizu station to MIHO beach. That is the fastest way.

Hi! Does the park have a free parking lot?

Hi,
We would like to get a taxi to Miho no Matsubara from the cruise terminal, then return by taxi.
Is it easy to get a taxi from Miho no Matsubara?
Or would we be better off catching public transport?
Written November 2, 2017
You could take a taxi but we took the bus to get there. Buses and trains are easy to use and cheaper than a taxi and they run on a schedule.

Is one night two days sufficient to see Shizuoka, fuji san and tea plantation? Intend to go in early July. Thanks
Written March 5, 2017
Look at Mt. Fuji from Miho no Matsubara Makinohara's tea factory is good to visit Itoen. Although it can run well in 2 days, the tea factory is the first-arrival 20 people so if you book early, you can see it.
