Mount Misen

On the enchanting island of Miyajima, Mount Misen rises as a beacon of natural beauty and spiritual significance. Standing 535 meters, this sacred peak offers an unforgettable journey through lush forests and awe-inspiring landscapes.

Whether you ascend via the scenic ropeway or embark on a rewarding hike, the summit promises panoramic views of the Seto Inland Sea and Hiroshima Bay, making it a must-visit destination. Mount Misen is steeped in history, with ties to the revered Buddhist monk Kobo Daishi, who is said to have practiced asceticism in the early 9th century.

Along the trails, discover ancient temples, including the Reikado Hall, which houses the eternal flame used to light the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park's Flame of Peace. Each path, the Momijidani, Daisho-in, or Omoto course, offers unique glimpses into the island's rich cultural tapestry.

The harmonious blend of nature and spirituality is palpable as you stand atop the observation deck, soaking in the 360-degree vistas. The journey up Mount Misen is not just a hike; it's an immersion into Japan's profound heritage.
