Where can you smoke near Miho-no-Matsubara?
When looking for a smoking area near Miho-no-Matsubara, focus on stations, indoor smoking rooms in large commercial complexes, and municipal designated smoking spots in Shimizu Ward, Shizuoka. Many parts of Shizuoka prohibit or discourage street smoking, so designated areas are the rule. The MottoSuitai Shizuoka smoking-area list keeps an up-to-date map by current location and landmark.
About Miho-no-Matsubara ― how to enjoy a walk
A 7 km coastline in Shimizu Ward lined with about 30,000 pine trees — a UNESCO Mt. Fuji World Heritage component and the legendary setting of the Hagoromo (feathered robe) tale.
About 25 minutes by bus from JR Shimizu Station. Allow 2–3 hours for the coastline walk, the Hagoromo pine, and the "Mihoshirube" cultural centre. The contrast of Mt. Fuji and the pine grove is breathtaking.
Smoking rules and things to watch around Miho-no-Matsubara
Tourist areas across Shizuoka have widely adopted street-smoking bans, with fines for violations. Indoors, the revised Health Promotion Act mandates smoke-free environments by default; smokers must use a designated smoking room, a heated-tobacco-only room, or an outdoor designated smoking spot.
Miho-no-Matsubara is entirely non-smoking as a UNESCO site and protected nature; strict observance is essential because strong sea winds easily blow butts away with high fire risk for the pine grove. Smoke at Shimizu Station before visiting.
How to find smoking areas near Miho-no-Matsubara
- Check designated smoking areas inside or in front of major stations first
- Use indoor smoking rooms in large shopping complexes, department stores, and airports — weather-proof and reliable
- Heated-tobacco-only rooms sometimes allow eating and drinking; filter by your device type
- Carry a portable ashtray and never smoke on the street if no designated area is available
