Description
The Itsukushima Shrine is a Shinto shrine located on the island of Mayajima, near Hiroshima, Japan. The "floating" torii gate in front of the shrine appears as such because,at high tide, the base of the gate is under water. At other times the torii gate appears as in the image here when the tide is low. It is one of Japan's most popular tourist attractions and is most well-known due to the "floating" gate. The shrine itself consists of two main buildings as well as 17 other buildings that help to distinguish it. The shrine is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
