- Description
- The island of Itsukushima - or Miyajima as it is more commonly known - is simply divine. Its very trees, rocks and sands deemed sacred since times from which only myth and legend remain, Miyajima's main attraction is Itsukushima Shrine, built over the water so as not to impinge on the island's sacred soil. All Shinto shrines have a torii gate through which the gods housed within are to be approached, but the gate to Itsukushima is something else. The huge vermillion gate "floating" on the water is an iconic image that has adorned the front of many a guidebook and was chosen by a 15th century scholar as one of the Nihon Sankei, "three great scenic views of Japan".
