Sacred peaks where you can see the beauty of the islands of Setouchi
It is the highest peak on Miyajima, with an elevation of 535m. The entire island of Miyajima is considered sacred, and Mount Misen is also an object of worship, said to have been founded by Kobo Daishi in 806. The Misen Primeval Forest, designated as a national natural monument, is part of the designated area of the World Heritage site Itsukushima Shrine. The view from the summit is spectacular, with a panoramic view of the Seto Inland Sea, Shikoku mountain range, and more. The huge and oddly shaped rocks crowded together near the summit are also famous as power spots, and offer a mystical view. In 2015, the "View from Mount Misen Observatory" received three stars in the Michelin Green Guide Japan.
