The season of the sea of fog has arrived ✨
When you think of Miyoshi City in Hiroshima Prefecture, you can’t help but think of the sea of fog.
As autumn deepens and mornings and evenings grow colder,
this is truly the perfect time to see it.
The whole town becomes wrapped in white mist,
and a quiet moment passes as if you were above the clouds.
To enjoy the sea of fog, start with the classic Mt. Takatani.
From the observation deck you can watch the fog drift slowly
as the morning sun gradually breaks through.
One of its charms is how different it can look from day to day.
If you prefer a relaxed view in nature, head to Okadayama.
From the top of the mountain the fog spreads to the distant peaks,
creating a calm, sea-like panorama.
At Mount Tomishi,
the contrast between the sea of fog and the ridgeline is striking.
Depending on the day’s weather and the light,
it reveals an entirely different face.
The sea of fog is a special sight that appears only on mornings when the weather conditions align.
That’s why the joy of encountering it is all the greater.
It takes about two to four hours for the sea of fog to clear.
The scene of the fog lifting is lovely in its own way.♪
On a chilly morning, set your alarm a little earlier and come to Miyoshi.
Why not see the breathtaking views the fog creates in Miyoshi?
