I’m of the opinion that no trip to Miyajima is complete without scaling Mt. Misen. The mountain offers a gorgeous view of the Seto Sea, is a beautiful hike to the top, and hosts a number of Buddhist shrines and temples at the peak.

For those who want to cruise to the peak in style, there is a ropeway available. Be warned that the ropeway route still requires a considerable amount of walking. 

The mountain is a 2-hour trek, but in my opinion, the juice is worth the squeeze.  

For those interested in more information on the mountain please check out the video we made on Mt. Misen!

Have fun on the mountain!
