People also ask
Is it worth going to the Itsukushima Shrine?
A UNESCO World Heritage Site that was built in 593, Itsukushima Shrine is one of the most beautiful shrines I have ever seen. The shrine is stunning during high tide, and the view of the torii gate from it is fantastic, so that's the best time to visit. Make sure to grab a goshuincho from here as well!
What is special about the Itsukushima Shrine?
Itsukushima Shrine is the only shrine and O-Torii gate in Japan built where the tide swells beneath it and retreats into the distance. The Main Shrine connected by beautiful corridors to the Marodo Shrine, Tenjin Shrine and the Noh theatre stage are all in perfect balance with the nature surrounding it.
What shrine gets rebuilt every 20 years?
Ise Shrine, in Ise, Japan, is completely torn down and rebuilt every 20 years as part of a sacred ritual called Shikinen Sengu.
Why is the Itsukushima Shrine in the water?
To allow pilgrims to approach, the shrine was built like a pier over the water, so that it appeared to float, separate from the land. The red entrance gate, or torii , was built over the water for much the same reason.
