Hiroshima, Japan

Join ferry trip to the famous floating torii gate on shrine island of Miyajima

The centuries-old Itsukushima Shrine is an important Shinto shrine located on the island popularly called Miyajima, in Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan. A UNESCO World Heritage Site and a National Treasure, the shrine complex is unique for being built on piers over the water with multiple buildings, connected by boardwalks and supported by pillars above the sea. Its iconic floating torii gate that stands in the Seto Sea in front of the shrine, is one of the most famous sights in Japan tourists can frequently notice from travel magazines. If your target is the vermilion torii gate, make sure to check out the timings of the tides that decide different experiences. At high tide, the gate is seemingly floating in the sea that you can take in the most picturesque views. Meanwhile, the low tide is best time for visitors to walk out to the bay and admire the gate from up close. Other attractions on the island include the sacred peaks of Mount Misen, dramatic waterfalls, and wildlife parks.
