Itsukushima Shrine in Miyajima
| An ancient island shrine revered for its graceful architecture and the iconic torii gate that appears to float upon the sea. |
| Founded in the sixth century and refined under Heike patronage, the shrine exemplifies classical Shinden style construction over tidal waters. Sacred corridors, vermilion structures, and the celebrated offshore gate reflect a long tradition of worship and aesthetic harmony on the island of Miyajima. |
