Itsukushima Shrine
- 厳島神社
- Hiroshima & Miyajima
A rare scene that has no match anywhere in the world; a shrine which appears to be built on the sea. It is said that Taira no Kiyomori chanted a sutra here all night praying for the prosperity and rebirth in paradise of his clan. It was registered as a World Heritage in 1996.
