The view from the top is absolutely magnificent and worth the effort. However, please be mindful of the ropeway schedule as it closes quite early—you definitely don't want to get stranded at the top of the island! Also, it's a good idea to bring plenty of water with you, as there are limited options once you start the climb
A very ordinary hike , I took daishoin trail which is ranked the best of all three. If you really really want to go for hike with no other choice, then go for it. There’s no extraordinary views at the top as well.
Hike is awesome, great work out, lots of steps, if you're looking for a great view and a good leg workout. This one is great. Its closer to 2 miles up , total of 4 miles from the bottom before the 2.5k sign .
Good views from the top of the observatory. It’s a rough walk from the Ropeway over to here (20-30 minutes up steep steps and inclines).
Great views, cable car ride over is fun, generally a nice hike! However, getting to the upper part of mt. Misen’s look out is a a little challenging, please ensure you have proper running/hiking shoes, I witness someone slip and fell (thankfully he is ok), steps are carved out and angled awkwardly.
