Mt. Misen and Ropeway
The tallest mountain on Miyajima, Mt. Misen has long been considered sacred. On a clear day, the view of the Inland Sea from the summit is spectacular. The mountain, with its Buddhist temples, observatory and monkey center near the top, can be ascended in about 40 minutes by ropeway or about 2 hours on foot.
From the bottom of the ropeway, adjoining parks provide a continuous natural area to enjoy the beauty of the autumn leaves in the fall and cherry blossoms in the spring.
