The climb to, and the view from Mount Misen are pulse raising and spectacular . The mountain is covered with primeval forest and at 535 m is the highest on Miyajima.

Three of these stones were carried up by your intrepid climbers!

Miyajima is reputed to have the best oysters in Japan, producing 80% of all the oysters consumed in Japan.
