Itsukushima Shrine Bridge


Itsukushima Shrine Bridge

I took this picture inside Itsukushima Shrine, in the island of Miyajima, close to Hiroshima. It is very famous because it's standing on wooden poles, and when the tide is highest, the structrure seems to be floating on the sea.

We were not so lucky and couldn't be present at that moment, although the place is quite impressive itself, especially when the day is foggy in the mountains. Like Amanohashidate, this site is designated as 'Nihon Sankei', one of the three most beautiful places in Japan.
