Registered in June 2013 as a part of the Mt. Fuji world heritage site, Miho-no-Matsubara is a beautiful seashore composed of interweaving components including pine trees that are famous for a celestial maiden legend (Tennyo-no-Hagoromo), the length of its sandy beach, the blue ocean, and its views of Mt. Fuji in the distance. The need to maintain the area's scenic beauty following its registration on the World Heritage List have given increased importance to coastal erosion countermeasures and conservation of the pine trees. Here, I would like to introduce the conservation and utilization activities in Miho-no-Matsubara conducted by volunteers living in the area.
