A designated UNESCO World Heritage site, Miho-no-Matsubara features a 7km coastline lined with over 30,000 ancient pine trees. The view of the snow-capped Mt. Fuji soaring above the deep blue sea and green pines has inspired Japanese art and poetry for centuries. It is the setting of the legendary "Hagoromo" (Celestial Robe) myth. Walking along the black sand beach while feeling the sea breeze provides a profound experience of Japan’s spiritual and classical beauty.
