Itsukushima Shrine

Itsukushima Shrine is a Shinto shrine located on the island of Itsukushima in Japan. The shrine is famous for its unique architecture, which is built on stilts over the water, and its iconic torii gate that appears to float on the sea during high tide. Itsukushima Shrine is a popular destination for photographers, as it offers stunning views of the surrounding sea and mountains. Some of the best photography locations at the shrine include the torii gate, the main hall, and the five-story pagoda. The shrine is also surrounded by beautiful cherry blossom trees, making it a popular spot for springtime photography.
