Tucked away at the quiet western end of Miyajima, Omoto Park is a serene alternative to the crowded shrine areas, famous for its ancient fir trees and centuries-old cherry blossoms. It serves as one of the most scenic trailheads for the hike up Mount Misen, offering a peaceful, shaded retreat. Expect a tranquil atmosphere with fewer tourists, gentle streams, and friendly free-roaming deer.
Start your Mount Misen hike here via the Omoto Route; it is steeper and quieter than others, offering deep forest solitude.
