Miyajima is a beautiful island. Hihgly recommend riding the ropeway/cable car up for stunning views of the mainland and other islands.

Mount Misen Obsevatory

Reviewed By iluv2eatntravel - San Diego, United States

After spending over an hour climbing Mt Misen (ropeway was not operational that day), seeing the Mount Misen Observatory was a welcoming sight knowing that we have made it to the top. It also has restroom facilities and a drink vending machine and a visitor center/office on the ground floor - probably the only stop with restroom facilities throughout entire hike to the top. The top floor of the observatory provides the extra few feet of evaluation which enabled us to view even more of the most breathtaking scenery of amazing Miyajima, the ocean and nearby Hiroshima. Just a wonderful pit stop to rest up and enjoying the views before making our way down.

Hiroshima Orizuru Tower

Reviewed By A1684MNjessicag - London, United Kingdom

A must if you are visiting Hiroshima. This location is so much more than just an observation deck over the A-bomb dome and skyline of Hiroshima; it is a place for reflection and celebration of peace. You will learn how to make an Orizuru (paper crane) and then set it free from the see thru floor side if the tower. There is also an interactive exhibition where you can learn about the site then and now and how Hiroshima has developed and progressed since 1945. A quirky end to your visit; you will have an option to go down to the ground floor via a spiral slide (optional) Ground floor has a great souvenir shop as well as a really good restaurant serving the local dish; okonomiyaki (vegetarian option also available)
