Travel to Miyajima 1 (Itsukushima Shrine)
Miyajima is one of the crown jewels of Japan, and certainly one of its finest views. Located off the coast of Hiroshima, the serene beauty of the island is an essential coda to that city.
“excerpt from Wikitravel“
Itsukushima Shrine was first built in 593, then rebuilt by Taira-no-Kiyomori in 1168. Miyajima has been worshiped as a divine island since ancient times which is why the shrine was built
on the seashore where the tide ebbs and flows.
