One of the most typically Japanese places of Japan. Find out why a visit to Myajima should take hours.
Japan is full of Shinto shrines, each one of which has a torii or entrance gate. Of these toriis, the one on Miyajima island is one of the most famous. The shrine itself is dedicated to three goddesses of the sea. It has been erected in 592, and placed in such a way that the high tide affects it most. Therefore, it is possible to walk under and around the "torii" when it is low tide, but it gives the impression of a floating gate with high tide. A visit therefore takes hours, if you want to see the gate in both conditions.
