What To Expect
Itsukushima Shrine
A World Heritage site. Established in the 6th century, this shrine is one of Japan's finest, and is famous for its beautiful Shinden-zukuri style structure (architecture representative of a nobles' residence in the Heian period). The contrast of the green of Mt. Misen behind the lacquered shrine pavilion and the blue of the Seto Sea is beautiful and evocative of the underwater palace of Ryugujo.

5.00My wife and I enjoyed the tour very much. The host was the son of a Hiroshima survivor so it made the trip very personal and he shared some touching stories. I would only recommend that they give the guests more time to tour the museum, it felt a little rushed.
Great Tour!!
