If you’re planning to ride the Miyajima Ropeway up to Mount Misen, there’s a combo ticket worth knowing about before you go. The Enjoy Ticket<\/strong> bundles a round-trip on the Miyajima Ropeway with a round-trip on the Miyajima Matsudai Ferry \u2014 all in one convenient, discounted pass. My family has used it several times, and it genuinely saves money, especially when you’re traveling with kids. Here’s everything you need to know: prices, where to buy it, how the journey works, and tips for making the most of your visit.<\/p>\n

We Used the Enjoy Ticket on the Miyajima Ropeway \u2014 Here’s What Happened<\/h2>\n

\"View<\/p>\n

I first heard about the Enjoy Ticket from a local friend, and honestly, it changed how we approach our Miyajima trips. It covers the round-trip ferry crossing from Miyajimaguchi to Miyajima \u2014 including the island visitor tax \u2014 plus round-trip rides on the Miyajima Ropeway, all for a single bundled price. During last year’s spring break trip, the savings were significant enough to treat the kids to lunch in the shopping street on the way back.<\/p>\n

Here’s how the pricing breaks down:<\/p>\n

Enjoy Ticket \u2014 Adult (middle school age and above):<\/strong> \u00a52,100
\n(Saves \u00a5400 compared to buying separately: ropeway round-trip \u00a52,000 + ferry round-trip \u00a5500 including visitor tax = \u00a52,500)<\/p>\n

Enjoy Ticket \u2014 Child (elementary school age):<\/strong> \u00a51,100
\n(Saves \u00a5200 compared to buying separately: ropeway round-trip \u00a51,000 + ferry round-trip \u00a5300 including visitor tax = \u00a51,300)<\/p>\n

Note that children below elementary school age may have different pricing conditions \u2014 worth confirming when you purchase. The savings add up quickly for a family, which is why locals tend to reach for this ticket automatically.<\/p>\n

One practical tip from a local: if you’re driving to Miyajimaguchi, the parking area behind the “Momiji Honpo” shop tends to have space before 8:00 a.m. It’s not widely publicized, but it can save you a stressful search during busy periods.<\/p>\n

The ropeway ride becomes even more meaningful when you know the story behind what you’re flying over. Mount Misen’s primeval forest is a UNESCO World Heritage Site in its own right \u2014 well worth a read before you go.

Where to Buy the Enjoy Ticket<\/h3>\n

\"Miyajima<\/p>\n

The Enjoy Ticket is sold only at the Miyajima Matsudai Ferry ticket window at Miyajimaguchi<\/strong> \u2014 look for the blue sign. It is not available on the island<\/strong>, so make sure to purchase it before you board the ferry.
\nSales hours:<\/strong> 8:30 a.m. \u2013 3:00 p.m.
\nValidity:<\/strong> 2 days, including the day of purchase<\/p>\n

\"Enjoy<\/p>\n

The two-day validity is genuinely useful. On one of our trips, it rained on the first day and we simply used the tickets the following morning instead. Having that flexibility takes the pressure off planning around unpredictable weather.<\/p>\n

A note on the visitor tax: since October 2023, Miyajima has charged a \u00a5100 island visitor tax per person. This is already included in the ferry portion of the Enjoy Ticket, so there’s nothing extra to pay at the gate.<\/p>\n

If you prefer to hike rather than ride, Mount Misen has three established hiking trails: the Omoto Course, the Daisho-in Course, and the Momijidani Course. That said, for families with young children or anyone who’d rather save energy for exploring the summit, the ropeway is the obvious choice.<\/p>\n

Daisho-in Temple, tucked at the foot of Mount Misen, is actually older than Itsukushima Shrine \u2014 and it pairs beautifully with a ropeway visit. Here’s our guide to this fascinating spiritual site.

Riding the Miyajima Ropeway: What to Expect<\/h3>\n

\"Small<\/p>\n

The ropeway experience has two distinct sections, and both are worth enjoying. From Momijidani Station<\/strong>, small 8-person gondola cabins depart continuously on a loop system \u2014 similar to a ski lift, but enclosed. This section takes about 10 minutes to reach Kayatani Station<\/strong>, and the views open up gradually as you rise above the forested valley. My younger daughter shouted “It’s like flying!” somewhere around the midpoint, which felt about right.<\/p>\n

To reach Momijidani Station, a free shuttle bus<\/strong> runs from the entrance of Momijidani Park \u2014 about a 20\u201330 minute walk from the ferry pier. Taking the shuttle saves time and energy, especially on busy days or with children.<\/p>\n

The gondola section is smooth and stable. I tend to get motion sick easily, but I’ve never had any trouble on the ropeway. Small children have consistently been fine too, in my experience.<\/p>\n

\"Aerial<\/p>\n

From Kayatani Station, you transfer to a larger cable car \u2014 a reversible tramway style that carries up to 30 passengers. This section runs approximately 4 minutes to the final stop, Shishiiwa Station<\/strong>, and climbs steeply through dramatic scenery. The UNESCO-listed primeval forest of Mount Misen and the islands of the Seto Inland Sea spread out below you.<\/p>\n

\"View<\/p>\n

From Shishiiwa Station, a roughly 30-minute walk leads to the summit of Mount Misen. Along the way, you’ll pass several significant sites: Misen Hondo (the main hall), Reikado (home to a sacred flame that has reportedly burned for over 1,200 years), Sankido, and the Misen Observatory. My older daughter photographed over 100 shots on our last visit \u2014 the views at Shishiiwa Station’s observation deck alone are worth the trip.<\/p>\n

One unexpected bonus: rainy days on Mount Misen can be genuinely magical. The mist rolls through the ancient forest and the whole mountain feels like you have it to yourself. Pack waterproof footwear and a light rain jacket, and don’t automatically write off a cloudy forecast.<\/p>\n

Please note that facility details, operating hours, and conditions are subject to change. Always check the latest information via official sources before your visit.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
