This island, steeped in faith, is famous for its World Heritage Site, Itsukushima-jinja Shrine. The shrine’s 16 m tall O-Torii (enormous torii) is built on the sea bed and is one of Japan’s largest wooden torii, making it the symbol of Miyajima. The area also offers numerous other attractions such as the “Houmotsu-kan”, featuring National Treasures on display, the enormous “Senjokaku” (Hall of One Thousand Tatami Mats), the Miyajima Ropeway, and beautiful fall foliage.
