Slightly challenging hike due to the elevation and takes roughly 1.5 - 2 hours return (including time for rest, visiting temples along the way and taking photos). Take plenty of water and a couple of snacks to keep you energised. Stunning views once you get to the summit!
One of the best thing I did in Hiroshima/Miyajima was to hike here (you can also do it with ropeway). The hike it's medium difficulty, 90 minutes, just be careful because there are signs of venomous snakes although I didn't see any.
From the summit you can enjoy a well rewarding view. Absolutely recommend, also to escape a bit from the city crowds.
Worth the trip - on a beautiful day, the view is stunning.
Even with the cable cars to the top, there is still quite a bit of walking to reach the summit.
Mt. Misen and Miyajima island are well worth the trip. Visited on a Saturday and the trails were fairly busy on the way down. The cable cars were down for maintenance, so we hiked up the mountain. Incredible views and a great workout to get to the top.
It was a Great Hike, even when it's very hot cause most of the paths are shaded. But prepare well, since there are no vending machines till you reach the top.
