Miyajima is thought to be the island where God lives. It is said that Itsukushima Shrine is built on the coast because the entire island is considered the body of God and is sanctified. Itsukushima Shrine was built at the end of the 6th century. The landscape combined with the vermilion lacquered shrine building, the green virgin forest at the back, and the blue sea duly symbolizes the Japanese sense of beauty. The beauty of the landscapes continues to attract visitors.
