Standing on the brink of the Seto Inland Sea, this shrine appears to float on the water during high tide, embodying a bridge between the tangible and intangible worlds. As you continue your exploration, immerse yourself in the serene beauty of Miyajima Island, its landscape bathed in the gentle hues of dawn and dusk.
