The famous shrine built on stilts with its torii gate set in the sea.

Was such an experience visiting this shrine in Miyajima...walking through the path and an old gate and the sight of the floating Tori gate in the sea and the temple itself on stilts...to beat the high tides.

What I like about Japanese religion and its places of worship is that they treat them serious. In terms of cleanliness, architectural beauty and uniqueness of style and craftsmanship are they really wondrous sights to behold and therefore always worth a visit. Then again they don't seem to dogmatic about it and don't try to convert you every step along the way. Same goes for Daishoin temple, which was a spectacular sight in fall colors and, by the way, made for some of our best photos taken during our Japan trip. Absolute pleasure this place!

What pops into people's mind when one thinks of the country Japan? Mt Fuji, Hot Spring, Kimono, the list goes on and on, and I bet a lot of people will think of Japanese Torii Gates, the beautiful architectures commonly found at the entrance of or within a Shinto shrine. If you like Torii and you are planning to go to Hiroshima, don't ever miss this magnificent Torii in the sea! On the island Miyajima, there is this famous Itsukushima Shrine with an enormous Torii in the sea, and if you stay long enough and time it right, you can approach it when the tide goes out. It's currently under renovation though

Under the roof of the shrine there is just one big floor space that you can walk through to view all the painting on the rafters. There was a collection of giant rice paddles as well. It's open all the way around, so you can get great views of Itsukushima Shrine, the 5-story pagoda, and the sea. If you walk toward the bathrooms you can actually see the structure under the shrine, giant wooden beams resting on large rocks.
