Although Tsuga forests in Miyajima is located in Mount Misen, Komagabayashi and Mount Iwafune, the total area explained only 4.5% (1.4 km²) of the island. Because Tsuga forests remain least on most islands in Seto Inland Sea, the Tsuga forests is valuable. Tsuga forests in Miyajima are often accompanied with Chamaecyparis obtusa (Siebold et Zucc.)
