The Island of Itsukushima, in the Seto inland sea, has
been a holy place of Shintoism since the earliest times. The first shrine
buildings here were probably erected in the 6th century.
The construction in red is the great Torii, the
boundary between the spirit and the human worlds. During low tide, you can
walk to the foot of the great Torii.
The shrine is a Unesco World Heritage Site.
