View over Mio-no-Matsu-bara. Junks are anchored in the harbour. In the pine groves near this station is the place where the famous legend of the ‘feathered robe’ (hagoromo) began. In Miho no Matsubara in Suruga province (now Shizuoka prefecture), a fisherman comes upon an angel bathing in the sea. He took away her beautiful feathered robe and, unable to return to heaven without the robe, the angel marries him and has his child. Finally, she retrieves her robe and flies off to heaven. This tale of marriage between a celestial being and a human became the subject of a popular ‘no’ play.
