Surrounded by the ocean on all sides, Japan has a great many beaches for visitors to explore. Miho No Matsubara Beach is located on the Miho Peninsula, about 45km from towering Mt. Fuji. This black-sand beach is about 5km long and is backed by a long grove of pine trees, which are considered to be sacred to the Shinto spirits. For this reason, the beach is a popular place for locals to gather to celebrate special occasions like weddings and births. You will notice that the beach has a long and thin shape which has been carved by the movements of waves and sand over many hundreds of years.
