Itsukushima Shrine
This unbelievable shrine is located where the sea and land come together.

What is Itsukushima Shrine?
It is a shrine located on the island of Istukushima (also called Miyajima) in Hatsukaichi, Hiroshima.

About Itsukushima Shrine
Itsukushima (Miyajima) is commonly called "Miyajima of Aki," where "Aki" is an old name referring to Hiroshima. It is one of the "three most beautiful scenic spots in Japan." It is also famous for the Heike Nokyou sacred books.

* Highlights
The "ootorii" or "big gate"
The varnished ootorii is located in the sea and is about as tall as the Giant Guddha in Nara. The main pillar was made from a camphor tree that was 500 to 600 years old. It has since been replaced seven times requires searching for a giant tree every twenty years or so.
The main shrine is a National Treasure from the Heian Period (794-1185) and the delicate splendor of its gables roof is truly something to behold.
