Japan: 'Summer at Miho Peninsula', Nagoya Rail Agency, c. 1933 Nakayama Taiyodo, c. 1922

Miho no Matsubara (三保の松原 Miho Pine Grove) is a scenic area on the Miho Peninsula in Shimizu Ward of Shizuoka City, Japan. Its seven-kilometre seashore is lined with pine trees.

It is the location of the legend upon which the Noh drama Hagoromo is based; on the second Saturday and Sunday of October, the city of Shizuoka holds a Hagoromo Festival and a performance of the Noh drama takes place near the pine tree of the legend.

In 2013 the pine groves were added to the World Heritage List as part of the Fujisan Cultural Site.
