3, World Heritage Site – Itsukushima Miyajima Island, Hiroshima
This gate is like a symbol of Hiroshima city because it is completely unaffected by war bombs. Itsukushima Shrine's Torii Gate was selected as a national treasure because it is located in a 1400-year-old temple, and the gate was completely rebuilt about 140 years ago. Surprisingly, this gate is completely standable by the weight (16m high, 60 tons) and does not need any foundation.

If you want to take photos on this empty and most beautiful street, you should come from around 4am!

This series of Torii gates on the sea during the day when the water is dry looks very… boring, but when the tide is high, it creates a beautiful image that is hard to resist.
