"This is a statue of Lord Mi'ihen. Eight centuries ago, he founded a legion known today as the Crusaders. In just a few short years after their founding, their ranks grew throughout Spira. The maesters of Yevon feared an uprising and accused them of rebellion. So Lord Mi'ihen walked along this very road to go face their charges and refute them. He succeeded in winning the maesters' trust, and his legion became an arm of the Yevon clergy."
—Maechen
Mi'ihen Highroad (ミヘン街道 Mihen-kaidou) is a road between the city of Luca and Mushroom Rock, found in Final Fantasy X and Final Fantasy X-2. It was named for Lord Mi'ihen, the founder of the Crusaders, then called the Crimson Blades, who walked down the old path on his way to Bevelle to answer the challenge that his group was a threat to Yevon. It is called a Highroad because of both its altitude in relation to Luca, and the fact that Mi'ihen walked the "Highroad" when he decided to face the maesters of Yevon instead of antagonizing them.
At the time before the Eternal Calm, the highroad was home to many fiends, including floating eyes, white elementals, flans, bombs, canines, and dual horned beasts. People who needed to cross the highroad would generally travel by Chocobo, as it was far safer than dealing with the aforementioned beasts. However, even the chocobo are not entirely immune to the fiend activity as the Chocobo Eater also roams the area. Yuna and her Guardians were obliged to face this beast when it made an appearance during their journey.

Travel Agency After Obtaining Airship[]
After the Airship is attained, the available weapons and armor at the travel agency change.
Also appearing in this area are Ipiria, Thunder Flan and Vouivre.
During the Eternal Calm[]
With Sin vanquished, the highroad became home to Iron Giants from the Thunder Plains and large, carnivorous birds, in addition to the previously mentioned fiends. Travel by chocobo has been strayed from, with hovercrafts taking their place. In addition, the road is now covered in Al Bhedmachina, used as a defense mechanism against the fiend population.
