A ropeway where you can enjoy a walk in the sky to Miyajima's highest peak, Mt. Misen. From Momijidani Station at the foot to Shishiiwa Station at a high altitude, you can simultaneously view the vast virgin forest spreading below and countless islands floating in the blue sea of the Seto Inland Sea. Especially the panoramas during the fresh green or autumn foliage seasons are breathtakingly beautiful, and the feeling of exhilaration as your field of vision opens up as you climb is exceptional. The view from Shishiiwa Observatory is a world-class spectacular view that has earned three stars in the "Michelin Green Guide Japon." Even for those with difficulty walking, it is an essential activity for island sightseeing to efficiently enjoy Miyajima's dynamic natural beauty.

Its most famous feature is the massive Grand Torii Gate standing in the sea; at low tide, you can walk out to it, and at high tide, you...

Miyajima Daisho-in

The oldest temple on Miyajima and a prestigious head temple of the Omuro school of Shingon Buddhism. Located near Itsukushima Shrine, it is enveloped in an even more quiet and sacred atmosphere. The grounds are packed with highlights, such as numerous Buddhist statues like "Ichigan Daishi" and "Mani wheels" that grant the same merit as chanting sutras when spun. In particular, the "Eternal Fire," which has burned without interruption for over 1,200 years since Kobo Daishi practiced here, is a must-see. This fire was also the source for the "Flame of Peace" in Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park. It's a sanctuary...
