Miyajima’s Mt. Misen

Climbing Mt. Misen was a great excuse to get out of the Airbnb, and although scrambling up to the top of a mountain has left me sore and stiff, it was worth it for the views and fresh air. Mt. Misen is on the island of Itsukushima, otherwise known as Miyajima. It’s about a 45-minute train right southwest of Hiroshima and then another 10 minutes on the ferry. Luckily, public transportation is still running, albeit on a reduced schedule.
