Itsukushima Shrine 2
The beautiful Shrine of Itsukushima
Itsukushima Shrine (厳 島 神社, Itsukushima Jinja) is a Shinto shrine located on the island of Miyajima, near Hatsukaichi city, Hiroshima province. It is known as the "Floating Sanctuary" as it passes the impression that it was built on the water.
In fact, the Itsukushima Shrine was built on land in AD 593, but due to the tidal oscillations, especially during high tides, it appears that it floats on water.
The shrine is dedicated to the three Shinto goddesses of the sea (Ichikishima, Tagori and Tagitsu), who according to superstitions inhabit the interior of the sanctuary.
In 1168 its size has been enlarged to its current size and since 1996 it has been considered World Heritage by Unesco and protected by severe heritage protection laws. The sanctuary is run by the Japanese government.
The island of Miyajima is one of the many islands of the Inner Sea (Japanese: 瀬 戸 内海, Seto Naikai) and is where the highest mountain in the region, Mount Misen (530m) is located.
Due to the Shinto custom of mountain worship the site was considered sacred - and as such sealed to human presence from ancient times.
Thus, the Sanctuary was built on the water, next to the island, which is now considered a Natural Park.
The small island is considered a true subtropical paradise full of exotic plants, hot springs, thousands of bird species and abundant wildlife.
The monkeys and deer that inhabit this place are practically domesticated and are the center of attention in this little paradise.
Itsukushima Shrine
The Itsukushima Shrine is considered to be one of the most beautiful places in Japan and the floating Torii (Grand Portal) is one of the famous postcard landscapes and tourist symbol of Japan. The Torii gate is the entrance that leads to Itsukushima Shrine, this place , which became one of the most sacred symbols of the Shinto.
The Grand Torii Portal was built in 1875 with camphor wood and is the largest wooden portal in the world being 16 meters high and 24 meters wide. At low tide, some tourists walk to the portal to admire him closely, despite the mud that is around him. It is believed that anyone who passes through the Portal Torii will live a prosperous and happy life.

Man, if there's one thing I absolutely love in Japan, it's the legendary YUKIMI DAIFUKU 雪見だいふく, a mochi sweet with ice cream filling created by Lotte in Japan. And for those who read the post about the 3 minutes of ramen, they also thought about psychology to promote the product. Check it out. One day in 1980, candy developers from Lotte, when returning from the city of Hakata in Fukuoka, land of Adegão, were enchanted by a traditional sweet from there (I'm a sucker for it). Made with a thin and soft wheat flour shell with a filling made of Azuki and egg yolk. They thought: “What if we put ice cream?”, since no factory could sell ice cream in the Japanese winter. Then they began to study the formats and flavors. The ice cream itself is vanilla. But the shell was the big challenge. In September of the same year, Lotte launched WATABÔSHI, a sweet made with Marshmallow and ice cream inside and became a big hit among Japanese schoolgirls. An ice cream that you could eat with...
