My favorite places in Miyajima Island (Hiroshima)♪

Itsukushima Shrine

The buildings of Itsukushima Shrine have been designated as National Treasures and Important Cultural Properties.

From Tahoto (Two-storied Pagoda)
I think this place is the best place to take a photo!







Daishoin Temple

Daishoin Temple is one of the most prestigious Shingon temples in the western part of Japan. In the 12th century, Emperor Toba founded his prayer hall in the temple. The temple had close links with Imperial Family until the 19th century. Emperor Meiji honored the temple by staying there in 1885. Until the Meiji Restoration of 1868, the temple had had twelve affiliated temples. It also had a close relationship with Itsukushima Shrine on Miyajima Island.
