Vue d'ensemble
Built on piers over the tidal flats of Miyajima Island, Itsukushima Shrine appears to float on the sea at high tide — one of Japan's most iconic vistas and one of the official Three Views of Japan (Nihon Sankei). The shrine's vermilion corridors and the great torii rising from the water have symbolized the harmony of Shinto architecture and nature for over 800 years. The entire island of Miyajima has been considered sacred since antiquity, and births and deaths were historically forbidden there.
