Miho Beach – Mount Fuji, Black Sand, and Serene Pine Trees

Review of Miho Beach: Mount Fuji, Black Sand, and the Most Peaceful Pine Trees in Life If there’s a place where you can "hear your own thoughts," Miho no Matsubara, or Miho Beach, would surely be one of them. This natural beach in Shizuoka City boasts three unique features that set it apart in Japan: Mount Fuji, black sand, and a line of over 30,000 pine trees stretching along a 7-kilometer coastline. On clear days, you can see the tranquil silhouette of Mount Fuji in the background, resembling an untouched painting. 🖤 The sand here isn’t the soft white sand you might be familiar with. Instead, it’s fine black volcanic sand that feels cool underfoot, with faint sounds of tiny pebbles crunching softly beneath your steps. It exudes a sense of strength yet remains gentle in its natural form. 🌲 Another charm is the towering Japanese pine trees that seem to have stood guard over the sea for centuries. The wind rustling through the pine needles creates a soft "swoosh" sound, as if lulling the entire city to sleep. ✨ There are no shops, malls, or entertainment here, but there’s something in the air that makes you take deeper breaths without realizing it. Miho Beach doesn’t try to be beautiful, but it’s "so peaceful that it allows your heart to let everything go."
