Climbing in Japan

Mount Misen, the tallest mountain on Miyajima, offers sweeping views of the Seto Inland Sea and as far as Hiroshima. Climb to the peak in confidence in the company of a guide who knows the trails well. As you slowly climb along the forested trail, admire the flora and trail-side stones, which include one with a carved Jizo, guardian deity of children. Near the summit, see the Holy Fire Hall, which has been burning day and night for 1,200 years. After time at the summit, take the easy route down via the ropeway
