Autumn Magic at Itsukushima Jinja

As autumn casts its golden spell, Itsukushima Jinja transforms into a vision straight out of a fairytale. This iconic “floating” shrine on Miyajima Island glows amidst the fiery reds and ambers of the surrounding maple trees, their vibrant reflections dancing on the water. Stroll along paths framed by cascading autumn leaves, or hike up Mount Misen for panoramic views of the shrine, the sea, and a forest ablaze with color. As the tides shift and the shrine seems to hover between land and water, you’ll feel like you’ve stepped into a serene, magical world where nature and spirituality entwine.
