    Tips

    The Daisho-In Temple is located in a valley, somewhat off the beaten track, as there are several steps up, and not everyone wants to climb those extra meters. However, if you do, you'll miss out on one of the most beautiful temples on Miyajima.

      The Daisho-in Temple is one of the most important temples of Shingon Buddhism. It is located at the foot of Mt. Misen, where founder "Kobo Daishi" on the island "Miyajima" practiced Buddhism for the first time.

      From the temple grounds of Daisho-in, a hiking trail leads to the summit of Mount Misen, where there are several other temple halls. The climb takes about 1.5 hours.

        The hike on the Mout Misen is strenuous and sweaty, but you will be rewarded with a beautiful landscape, great photo opportunities and above a great view.
        Note: Take something to eat and take enough liquid with you.
