Itsukushima Shrine stands on the island of Itsukushima, which is also known as the island of gods. It is said that the shrine was founded in 593 by Saeki no Kuramoto, and the 3 goddess “Ichikishimahime-no-Mikoto,” “Tagorihime-no-Mikoto,” and “Tagitsuhime-no-Mikoto” are enshrined there. Famous for granting a wide list of benefits, these three goddesses as are worshipped as the goddesses of the sea, transportation, fortune, and art.
Most of the shrine buildings on the grounds have been designated as national treasures and Important Cultural Properties. The grand torii gate, standing in the sea, has undergone a significant renovation known as the "Reiwa Great Renovation," spanning three and a half years and completed in 2022. The gate has been restored to its vibrant vermillion color, exhibiting an even more imposing presence.
There is also an illumination held that starts around sunset and lasts until 11:00pm, creating a fantastical and stunning view different from that of the daytime.
