Miyajima

华盛顿🐯:“Miyajima has been known as the "Island of Gods" since ancient times. In the Heian period, Taira no Kiyomori built the famous Itsukushima Shrine here, making it an extraordinary holy place for Japanese Shintoism. Miyajima is one of the "Three Best in Japan" and was selected as a World Cultural Heritage in 1996. ① Itsukushima Shrine is not only a classic symbol of Japan, but also a masterpiece of human architectural history. It constructs a grand divine space with vast fields such as oceans and mountains. It worships the natural world as a god, a mountain, a forest, and even a boulder. Miyajima is a manifestation of this primitive belief in the mountains. Itsukushima Shrine boldly built its temple in the style of the palace-style residence of the Heian period as an architectural style. The gorgeous corridor connects 6 national treasure buildings and 11 important cultural property buildings. It is the most beautiful shrine in Japan. ③ Big Torii
When the tide is high, Itsukushima Shrine and the Big Torii seem to float on the sea, sacred and inviolable; when the tide is low, the foundation and mudflats of the shrine will be exposed, and you can approach the Torii and watch it up close.
The Big Torii is 16 meters high, and the main pillars are made of camphor wood, which has natural corrosion resistance and is not easy to rot even underwater.
When the tide is low, you can walk on the Big Torii, where you can throw coins for blessings and draw lots. You can draw lots for 100 yen to see your recent fortune. Itsukushima Shrine is still very beautiful from the Big Torii.
"Miyajima" There are spirits between the mountains and the sea. In addition to Nara, there are deer everywhere in Miyajima. They are different from those in Nara, and people feed them less because there are no deer biscuits sold here. They are generally gentle, and the "local bully atmosphere" is not very obvious.”

Yoshi200:“On January 31st, I took the Sanyo Line from JR Hiroshima Station and arrived at JR Iwakuni Station after about an hour. It took 20-30 minutes by bus, 300 yen one way, and about 300 yen to cross the Kintai Bridge, but it was worth it. It was very beautiful and left a lasting memory. Near the bus stop, I had a break at a long-established Kintai Bridge rice cracker shop. It was like a tile rice cracker, but it was simple and delicious. On the way back, I had a ramen noodle (large portion) for 900 yen at Suehiro Shokudo in front of Iwakuni Station, and it was delicious. It was a great treat for my cold body. I would like to visit this place again.”

游侠半仙:“The Itsukushima Shrine in Miyajima, Japan, enshrines Ichikishimahime, Tashinhime, and Tatsukihime, who are revered as the Three Munakata Goddesses. The Three Munakata Goddesses are worshipped as the guardians of the sea, safe sailing, good luck, and the fulfillment of wishes. The shrine is famous for its unique architectural beauty and superb palace-style architectural skills. It was first built in 593 and later rebuilt in 1168 by the powerful Taira no Kiyomori of the time, and has been preserved to this day. The unique configuration that stands out in the sea and the contrast with the beautiful mountains behind it reflect the ambition and power of Kiyomori. With the "main shrine" (main hall) as the center, several shrines are arranged around it, and there are also Noh theater stages, music halls, halls, etc. in between. The buildings are connected by a 300-meter-long corridor, forming a seamless whole. The bright red color of the shrine and the large torii gate is said to ward off evil spirits. The entire building is also painted with vermilion lacquer for corrosion prevention.”

游侠半仙:“The Miyajima Torii in Japan is the Torii of Itsukushima Shrine. It is a national important cultural property. It is about 16.6m high and weighs about 60 tons. The cypress roof is 24.2m long. The main column has a circumference of 9.9m and is made of natural nanmu. The current Torii was rebuilt in 1875, and it is the eighth generation since the Heian period. The upper beam is hollow, and it is filled with fist-sized stones totaling 7 tons, so it can stand in the ocean current without falling.”
