Miyajima Island has been worshipped as a divine island since ancient times. This is why the shrine was built on its shore. We rode a ferry from the end of the Hiroshima trolley line. It is a favorite place of many Japanese. Yes, it was a rainy day when we were there, but that only intensified its beauty.
Itsukushima Shrine was first built in the year 593. That torii gate is freestanding in the water.
