[2025 Hatsukaichi Attraction] Travel Guide for Upper Stage (Updated Apr)

#Spring0yenTrip The moment I stepped into Itsukushima Shrine, I felt as if time had stopped. The vermilion shrine floating on the sea is so beautiful that it captivates the viewer. Its appearance changes with the ebb and flow of the tides, making it a work of art woven by nature and human hands. Walking through the corridors, the scenery that would have been loved by aristocrats in the Heian period unfolds before me, and the sound of the waves tickles my ears pleasantly. The breathtaking beauty of the large torii gate dyed in the sunset left me speechless. As I went deeper into the shrine, a sacred air drifted in the silence, and it felt as if my soul was being cleansed. Itsukushima Shrine, woven together with history and nature, gives visitors deep emotion and healing. #ItsukushimaShrine #Miyajima #Shrineonthesea #Mysteriousscenery #Timelessbeauty

From Hiroshima, the largest city in Chugoku and Shikoku, take the JR line, Hiroshima Electric Railway, and a ferry to Miyajima. You can also get there by high-speed boat from the Atomic Bomb Dome or Hiroshima Port. When you arrive at the port, you will be greeted by deer. Like Nara Park, Miyajima has many deer that live there and you can interact with them. When you think of Miyajima, you think of Itsukushima Shrine, a World Heritage Site. Along the way, there are many shops lined up, and there are many gourmet spots such as oysters🦪, momiji manju, and conger eel rice! It's already fun here, and then it's on to Itsukushima Shrine. There are not many shrines built on the sea. If you have the time, you can walk to the large torii gate a little offshore. If you have time, you can also go further in to the aquarium or take the ropeway to the top of the mountain. You will definitely be impressed by the beautiful view of the Seto Inland Sea! #Spring0yenTrip

Itsukushima Shrine is a classic spot in Hiroshima. The majestic building standing on the sea is very beautiful✨ The scenery is different at low tide and high tide☺️ I arrived at low tide this time, but the tide gradually came in while I was praying, so I was able to enjoy a different view from when I arrived! The large torii gate was under construction, but I thought that the construction scenery was precious! ? I also took a photo of it📸 (→8th photo) It's a classic among classics, so it was my second visit, but it's a wonderful Japanese World Heritage Site that I want to visit again and again😌 The construction of the large torii gate seems to be finished, so I'd like to go see that beautiful torii gate on the sea again😊⛩️ #Domestic travel trip #Hiroshima #Hiroshima sightseeing #Hiroshima trip #Miyajima #Itsukushima Shrine #Miyajima sightseeing #World Heritage Site

#FuriTabi Taira no Kiyomori was appointed Aki no Kami in 1146 and revered the shrine as the guardian deity of the Taira clan. As the power of the Taira clan grew, the respect for this shrine also increased, and the shrine buildings were constructed in their current form. Since the shrine was visited by imperial family members and aristocrats from the capital, including Emperor Goshirakawa, Kenshunmon'in, Empress Tokuko, and Emperor Takakura, the culture and architecture of the capital were introduced to Miyajima. The Bugaku dance that is still handed down at Itsukushima Shrine today was moved by Kiyomori from Shitennoji Temple in Osaka. The shrine buildings have been rebuilt several times due to disasters, but it is said to have been preserved in the original form when Kiyomori built them. There are about 260 buildings that are national treasures and important cultural properties, including 17 buildings, 3 bases, and 55 pieces of art and crafts. The eastern corridor is 45 bays long and the western corridor is 62 bays long. In addition to the main shrine, it consists of a group of building structures including the Kyakujinja Shrine, Asa-ya, Haraiden, Takabutai, Hirabutai, Sajimonkyakujinja Shrine, Hiyakimae, Okunijinja Shrine, Tenjinja Shrine, Noh stage, Soribashi Bridge, Nagahashi Bridge, Usuibashi Bridge, and Naishibashi Bridge. 　The eastern corridor entrance is gabled and the western corridor entrance is karahafu-style, and the corridor is about 4m wide, 260m long, and 2.4m (8 shaku) apart, with eight floorboards in each span. The gaps in the floorboards serve to reduce the pressure of seawater that surges up from under the floor during high tides, and also to allow seawater that rises up into the corridor to flow away. The floorboards are currently covered with curing boards, and you can walk on the areas on top of the floorboards, which are originally part of a national treasure, with shoes on.
