The floating torii

Itsukushima Shrine is the cause of Miyajima's fame and name (Miyajima means "shrine island"). The shrine, which is partially constructed over water and features the famous floating torii gate, was first constructed in the 6th century. It later became the tutelary shrine of the powerful Taira clan.
