Miyajima
The Floating Torii Gate Standing majestically in the sea, Miyajima's iconic vermillion torii gate creates one of Japan's most breathtaking photo opportunities. This grand gateway, which appears to float on water during high tide, has served as the sacred entrance to Itsukushima Shrine for centuries, welcoming countless pilgrims who arrived by boat. Capture stunning photos of this UNESCO World Heritage site while your guide shares fascinating stories about its spiritual significance and the ancient pilgrimage routes through the Seto Inland Sea.
Step into the mesmerizing Itsukushima Shrine, a unique architectural marvel built over water that seems to float on the sea at high tide. This UNESCO World Heritage site holds profound significance as one of Japan's most sacred places, where ancient pilgrims would worship without setting foot on the holy island ground. Discover the spiritual home of the three sea deities - daughters of the mighty Susanoo - and try your luck with a traditional Omikuji fortune slip near Japan's only floating Noh theater stage. Let the shrine's vermillion corridors and centuries-old atmosphere transport you back to a time when this served as a gateway between the earthly and divine realms.
