There is no doubt that Itsukushima Shrine is one of the best places to visit if you come to Japan. There are so many things to see and do at this shrine, but the architecture, built to float above the sea, is perhaps the greatest of all its attractions. Why is this shrine floating on the sea? It is related to the fact that this shrine is dedicated to the goddesses of the sea. It is also said that this type of architecture was adopted to prevent damage to the island behind the shrine, since the island itself was considered to be the dwelling place of the gods. These religious roots and architectural innovations are valuable and were the reason the shrine was recognized as a World Heritage site. For more details, please visit this place with a guide and feel the charm for yourself.
