Miyajima Island (Momjidani Park)
The Edo period Confucian scholar Hayashi Shunsai (former name Gaho) selected three locations in Japan for their picturesque scenery as described in his Nihonkoku-jiseki-ko (1643). Among them is the virgin forest on the northern slope of Mt. Misen. Its Momjidani Park is known as Miyajima's most outstanding sight. There are about 700 Japanese maple trees throughout the park, including varieties like iroha-kaede, omomiji, Honshu maple and yamamomiji mountain maples. During the period of changing leaves from the middle to the end of November, the whole area is dyed a burning red. The quiet flow of the Momijidani River coupled with the scenic beauty of Mt. Misen provides the foliage viewing experience of a deep mountain ravine.
