Miho no Matsubara (Miho pine grove) is a scenic area located at the Miho peninsula in Shimizu-ku, Shizuoka, Japan. It is renowned as a seashore (spit) with beautiful green pine trees and white sands spanning over 7 km. Miho no Matsubara is a great vantage point of Mt. Fuji and the Izu peninsula over Suruga-wan (Suruga Bay). Due to its beauty, it is designated as one of the three new scenic attractions of Japan along with the three pine groves. Besides, it is selected as one of the top 100 white sand beaches and green pine groves of Japan.

Miho no Matsubara is known as the stage of the legend of Hagoromo (plumage). It has an old pine tree dating back 650 years. It is called “Hagoromo no Matsu”, where an angel is said to have floated down. The Miho shrine nearby preserves a piece of her plumage.
