View of the Torii Gate of Itsukushima Shrine

Highlight • Viewpoint

From the Azumaya Observation Deck you have a great view of the "Itsukushima Shrine" with its gigantic Torii. A good place to take a short break halfway to the summit, especially at almost 35 ° C.

View of the Seto Inland Sea from Mount Misen

Highlight • Viewpoint

Mount Misen, the sacred mountain on the holy island, is also the highest peak on Miyajima at 535 meters. On clear days, it offers spectacular views of the Seto Inland Sea and up to Hiroshima City. The sea around the island and the island belong to the »Setonaikai National Park«.

There are three trails that lead to Mt. Misen ": the" Momijidani Route ", the" Daisho-in Route "and the" Omoto Route ". Of the three, the Daisho-in Route offers the best views and is not as steep as the other two. It takes 1.5 to 2 hours to reach the summit from the city.

Reikado Hall (Hall of the Eternal Flame)

Highlight • Religious Site

Small area with temples and Buddha statues in interesting outifts ;-)
There is also the hall of the never-ending fire from which the fire is supposed to come from the Peace Park in Hiroshima.

The Buddhist monk Kūkai is believed to have held austerity for 100 days here in 806. The fire should not be extinguished since then. (Source: Wikipedia)

Momijidani Trail - Misen Hiking Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The descent of the trail is quite steep in places but it is very well laid out with steps and handrails. It crosses Momijidani Park and stretches along the eponymous river.
