The MIYAJIMA floating torii

Itsukushima Shrine at high tide.

The great torii (大鳥居) floating gate of Itsukushima Shrine is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Japan. The view of the torii with Mt. Misen in the background is designated as one of the "three most famous views of Japan" along with the Amanohashidate sandbar and Matsushima Bay. It is also called "the gate of Japan".

The torii, which appears to float at high tide, is only accessible from the shore at low tide.

The shrine has had a torii since 1168, although the current one only dates from 1875. It is 16 meters high and has four posts (ryōbu 両部 style, or yotsuashi 四脚) to give it more stability. Since its construction, it has never been completely restored. To prevent it from rotting with sea water, sugekae (挿げ替え), a technique which consists of only changing the submerged parts every hundred years.
