Miho Beach and Mount Fuji

The Miho Peninsula extends from Shizuoka City into Suruga Bay, and is known for its views of Mount Fuji in conjunction with the pine tree lined Miho Beach. The beach extends for about three kilometers along the peninsula's eastern coast, and is made of small stones rather than sand. Areas for swimming can be found on the peninsula's northern side.

Among the many pine trees lining the beach is the Hagoromo-no-Matsu, which is believed to be about 650 years old. There is a legend associated with the tree about a fisherman who once found a robe belonging to a heavenly maiden hanging on the tree's branches. An attractive walking and cycling trail follows the tree lined beach for several kilometers.

How to get there
Shizutetsu buses run from JR Shimizu Station to the end of the Miho Peninsula. The closest bus stop to the Hagoromo-no-Matsu tree is Hagoromo-no-matsu Iriguchi bus stop (10 minutes, 360 yen one way from Shimizu Station, departures every 15 minutes).

Another option is to take the Dream Ferry Mini Cruise which provides transportation between the Hinode Pier beside the S-Pulse Dream Plaza in Shimizu Port and Miho's swimming beaches (20 minutes, 500 yen one way, 4 departures per day).
