Itsukushima Shrine in Miyajima
Lunch (meal charges not included in the tour)
|
A World Heritage site.
Established in the 6th century, this shrine is one of Japan's finest, and is
famous for its beautiful Shinden-zukuri style structure (architecture representative
of a nobles' residence in the Heian period). The contrast of the green of
Mount Misen behind the lacquered shrine pavilion and the blue of the Seto Sea
is beautiful and evocative of the underwater palace of Ryugujo.
