Itsukushima Shrine

The uniqueness of this shine is that the shrine and its torii have been built on water and seem to be floating in the sea during the high wide. During the low tides, the water goes down and you will be able to walk near the gate to see it up close. The shrine consists of multiple buildings which are connected by broadways with pillars as support over the sea. Some of the buildings which serve as the main attraction of the place during your Japan trip include the Main Shrine, noh theatre stage, and others.
