The shrine is made of wood and has been rebuilt several times, but always very accurately according to the original. Further out in the sea, in front of the Shrine, is the 16-meter-high Grand Gate (torii), named one of Japan's three most beautiful views.Also known as 'Shrine Island', Miyajima is most famous for its shinden-zukuri style shrine, which was established in the 6th century.
