Description

Itsukushima Shrine is a Shinto shrine on the island of Itsukushima (popularly known as Miyajima), best known for its "floating" torii gate. The island itself is considered more than holy. It is considered to be a god. It is in the city of Hatsukaichi in Hiroshima Prefecture in Japan.  At high tide, the ocean water laps at the decks of the shrine.

I had no idea the water got so close to the shrine. I was there when the tide was very low. The resident deer were hilarious and they were always trying to get into stores or steal maps from the tourists.
