Mount Misen Hatsukaichi, Japan Last Updated: 08/31/2023 |
| Mount Misen is the holy mountain on the holy island Itsukushima in Hatsukaichi, Hiroshima, Japan. At 500 meters above sea level, Mount Misen is the highest peak on Miyajima. On clear days, it affords spectacular views of the Seto Inland Sea and as far as Hiroshima City. There are also a number of Buddhist structures near the peak. | |
| There are three hiking trails leading up Misen: the Momijidani Course, the Daisho-in Course and the Omoto Course. Of the three, the Daisho-in Course offers the nicest views and is not as steep as the other two. The Momijidani Course, while the shortest, is also the steepest, leading mostly through the forest. Using any course, it takes 1.5 to 2 hours to reach the summit from town. Even when taking the ropeway, reaching Misen's various attractions still requires a considerable amount of walking, as the the mountain's peak is still another 100 meters higher and about a kilometer away from the upper ropeway station around the Shishi-iwa Observatory. | |
