This is a must-go place for taking commemorative photos, and many tourists go there.

Before the early Showa era, the first generation of "Miyazuki" was called "Miyazuki". In August 1919, in order to commemorate "Golden Yaksha", Onozaki Hiroshi's disciples built a sentence monument "like Miyazuki's back and the spring moon", which has been called "Miyazuki" ever since.

However, due to the impact of typhoons on the coast and the development and expansion of roads, the branches of the pine trees on the seaside side of the road were cut off. Later, the pine trees gradually withered due to the impact of road paving and car exhaust. Therefore, on November 17, 1966, the second-generation pine tree, the Kōno pine, was planted. The second-generation pine trees (donated by "Atami Hotel" at the time) were also affected by road paving and car exhaust, and symptoms such as "pine leaves turned yellow", "severe branches withered", and "part of the tree roots withered". Therefore, Atami implemented tree activation maintenance for three years in 1998. Move the "new Miyashiba pine" to the back of the high pier slope, plant cinnabar roots, mountain black flowers, chrysanthemums and other plants on the soil, and place natural stones next to it to transform it into a Japanese garden style.
