What To Expect
Itsukushima Shrine
Miyajima's symbolic shrine stands in the middle of the sea and the floating torii gate is magnificent. The beautiful view from the red shrine is a masterpiece. You will feel an undescribable wind once you enter the shrine. Let's experience the gorgeous view of the ocean and the red shrine, which is registered as a World Cultural Heritage site♪
・ Otorii: It is a powerful Otorii towering above the sea. The contrast between the blue sea, blue sky, and vermilion is the beauty of the highlight. The highlight is where you can see a completely different appearance at low tide and high tide. You never know which torii you can see until the day!

4.00It was a beautiful place to visit. It was interesting to see the gate completely surrounded by water in the morning and in the afternoon you could al.ost walk to the gate when the tide was out. We had some trouble understanding his English, but he was very nice. Maybe some more practice. I would recommend this private tour if you have already done Peace Park etc.
