Miyajima’s Daishoin steps lined with Buddha statues

There are several ways up and down Mt. Misen on the island of Miyajima (AKA Itsukushima). Most people take the ropeway. Be adventurous and ascend and/or descend on foot instead, through Daishoin (大聖院) and these steps.

Sometimes, when you are navigating slippery, rocky steps in the rain, you need someone to watch out for you.
