Højdepunkter

There is no doubt that Itsukushima Shrine is one of the best places to visit if you come to Japan. There are so many things to see and do at this shrine, but the architecture, built to float above the sea, is perhaps the greatest of all its attractions. Why is this shrine floating on the sea? It is related to the fact that this shrine is dedicated to the goddesses of the sea. It is also said that this type of architecture was adopted to prevent damage to the island behind the shrine, since the island itself was considered to be the dwelling place of the gods. These religious roots and architectural innovations are valuable and were the reason the shrine was recognized as a World Heritage site. For more details, please visit this place with a guide and feel the charm for yourself.

About Hiroshima

Hiroshima, on Japan's Seto Inland Sea, is a rebuilt river city whose Peace Memorial Park and museum recall the atomic bombing of 1945.

Hiroshima spreads across the delta of the Ōta River, whose channels, bridges and trams give the city an open feel. The atomic bomb of 6 August 1945 destroyed most of it. The Peace Memorial Park beside the river holds the Atomic Bomb Dome, a ruined building left standing and listed by UNESCO, the Peace Memorial Museum and the Children's Peace Monument.

Top-ranked sights in Hiroshima: Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum, Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park, Miyajima Island (Itsukushima).
