Believed to be the boundary between the spirit and human worlds, the Otorii 's vermilion color is said to keep evil spirits away. You can walk to it on the sand bar during low tide . Read more
A must visit. Highlight of our 12 day trip to Japan . Dinner Options are scarce after dark. Bring food, beer & wine to catch sunset and the tide roll in. Check tide charts online for timing.
Worth visiting with amazing history behind. Retaining the purity of the shrine is so important that no deaths or births have been permitted near it. Highly recommended. Approx half day trip
Miyajima has been worshiped as a divine island since ancient times. This is why the shrine was built on the seashore where the tide ebb and flows.
The contrast of the blue sea, green hills and the vivid vermillion-lacquered shrine is breathtakingly beautiful.
The O-Torii is beautiful at high tide , although it's still a good picture for your album at low tide . With a good angle, you can always take a great picture at sunset .
Here is the famous torii in Miyajima. Entrance fee was cheap (400¥) and shrine is very beautiful
the gate. the walk. the temples . just chill here. ignore the selfie sticks. get lost in the alleys. pray to all the buddhas.
It's really worth it. I didn't expect to like as much as I did. Absolutely beautiful! Stay for the sunset !
Definitely would recommend going at high tide . There are deer just roaming around the island !! (Guard your map and paper valuables from them).
Beautiful. I personally preferred seeing it at high tide and sunset . Walking up to it at low tide is interesting but super wet and damp. My shoes were not prepared
besides the Great Otorii , Itsukushima shrine built along the coast has beautiful scenery in different tidal moments
Definite *must* visit when you are in Japan ! Make the trek!
You can hike to the top of mountain or walk halfway and take a gondola for views of Hiroshima and surrounding countryside!
Worth the trip. Massive amount of other tourists as expected. Try to go as late as possible in order to avoid all groups
Absolutely stunning! A must-see if you’re in Japan
Beautiful place, sit on the right side of the ferry for a Better view . Free ride if you have the JR pass
Great spot for pictures. You can get here with your JR Pass , but it can be more convenient to depart from Memorial Park .
Picturesque temple on water with fantastic view of the famous great Torri
We went middle november and weather was ok. A little bit cold but sunny!
Magical! Love everythin here
There is more than one boat. The combination pass you buy at the Hiroshima station light rail is not JR. Go to the boats on the left.
A must to visit
Go as early as you can to appreciate the shrine before it's too crowded . It's gorgeous.
One of the most beautiful place in japan !!!
Beautiful location on Miyajima island , great mountain backdrop
Check the low and high tides if you want to actually be on ground level with the arches.
Beautiful island , must visit if in Hiroshima
Get a one day steer car pass including the ferry . Current fare 800 yen.
A must see world heritage .
wait until dark. great timelapse .
I went to Miyajima today. It was not so much crowded .😊☺😊☺😊
Nice place...must to go
It's beautiful
JR Pass holder can ride on the JR Ferry for free
Pet a deer, but don't try to take a selfie with one.

【世界文化遺産】登録された区域は、社殿を中心とする嚴島 神社 と、前面の海および背後の弥山原始林の森林 を含む区域の431.2ヘクタール。弥山を中心に深々とした緑に覆われた山容を背景として、海上に鮮やかな朱塗りの本社本殿・大鳥居等の社殿群を展開している。登録された遺産のうち、嚴島 神社 の本社本殿・弊殿・拝殿等17棟・大鳥居・五重塔・多宝塔3基からなる建造物群は、6棟が国宝 、11棟・3基が重要文化財 に指定。

De las mejores vistas de todo Japón .
Impresionante Tori en la isla de Miyahima!!!!merece la pena quedarse a dormir en la isla para verlo sin multitud de turistas y visitar por la mañana Hiroshima.
【国宝 】名称は「厳島神社 」…登録は建造物(6棟) 「本社本殿、幣殿、拝殿」「本社祓殿」「摂社客(まろうど)神社 本殿、幣殿、拝殿」「摂社客神社 祓殿」「廻廊東廻廊」「廻廊西廻廊」…古来より神聖視された宮島にあり海上鎮護の神として崇敬された。北の入り江に建ち、南奥の本社本殿と東の客社本殿は両流造形式で、拝殿や祓殿などの諸建築 を回廊で連続した景観は、寝殿造の大邸宅を思わせる。
Weniger Besucher, weniger Kitsch, dann wäre der Ort wirklich wieder eine der „schönsten Landschaften Japans“ 🤔
もみじ 饅頭がお土産 に有名だと紅葉 をイメージしちゃうけど、桜の時期もよい。夕方になると鳥居前が写真 スポットです。アンダー気味に曇天日陰モードで人だかりを入れて撮ってみてください。かなりいい写真 になりますよ。夜間の灯篭も雰囲気を盛り上げる。
Uno de los templos más bonitos. Si duermes en Miyajima, deja la visita al conjunto para la mañana siguiente y vente a verlo MUY pronto (7am). Es otra cosa!
宮島(厳島)は昔から神の島のとして崇められていました。御神体そのものである宮島の地に杭を打ち社殿を建てるわけにはいきません、なので厳島神社 は海の上に建造されました。
とってもきれいです。最近は外国人の人も多く、とても混んでいます。
Gelgit olayının göründüğü deniz, rüzgar ve güneşi simgeleyen bir yer
Una delle mete clou del Giappone. La porta sul mare, il monte con vista panoramica sull'arcipelago, i daini, le ostriche . Magica.
世界遺産 !バイクで行くのは厳しいからフェリー に乗る前にバイクを置いて、体とカメラだけで行くのがいい☆近くにある牡蠣 屋の牡蠣 屋定食 がおすすめ。土日祝は人が多すぎる…フェリー は並ぶ
Worth a visit if you are hitting Hiroshima. Take the train-->ferry and be sure to go during high tide. Allow for 3-4 hours to wander the shops, eat fresh oysters, and explore the shrine. - Susan Loh
Be sure to come before closure (4:30pm) as you won’t be able to see the inside. - JANICE💯
