Invitation to MIYAZIMA


MIYAJIMA, this little island is located near Hiroshima and has inherited traditional Japanese beauties from Heian-Era(A.D.794-1192). Its natures have been commended for long. It is not only beauty but also wonderful cultures that you can enjoy in Miyajima.


  In this island, there is the World Cultural Heritage, Itsukusima Shrine. The old, wooden and vermilion structures, build on the sea, impress you as a illusive oriental castle. With its Asian beauty, even with lost Japanese beauty, Isukusima Shrine has kept her dignity.



  Miyajima displays completely different styles depending on sea levels. At the time of the high sea level, Itsukushima shrine stand on the sea. In contrast, at the low level, visitors can enter the big Torii gate by walk.
