All Reviews of Mount Misen

Mount Misen on Miyajima has a very special sense of mystery. That day, the mountain was shrouded in mist, with the distant forests and peaks fading in and out of view. Walking through it felt like stepping into another world.

Mount Misen has been a place of worship on Miyajima since ancient times, and many legends about deities have been passed down among its forests. The mist made the already tranquil woods feel even more mysterious. Sometimes I could only see a few steps ahead, which made me even more curious about what was hidden beyond the fog.

There were no sweeping mountain views under clear skies, but I unexpectedly discovered another kind of beauty unique to Mount Misen.

On the boat ride to Miyajima, the magnificent views of Mount Misen along the way were also impressive. Mount Misen is the highest peak on Miyajima, with rolling mountain ridges and lush green forests set against the blue sea. Viewed from the boat, the entire island looks especially peaceful and mysterious. As the boat gradually approaches Miyajima, the mountains, sea, and vermilion torii gate come together to create a scene full of Japanese charm.

The view of the Seto Inland Sea from the Shishiiwa Observatory is already beautiful enough~
