#Sakura2024 I went to Itsukushima Shrine in Miyajima, Hiroshima Prefecture✨It is one of Japan's most famous shrines, and is also registered as a World Heritage Site⛩The renovation of the great torii gate will be completed at the end of 2022, so you can enjoy the beautiful Itsukushima Shrine great torii gate😌Since I came all the way there, I also had a prayer ceremony done! ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⛩What is Itsukushima Shrine? ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━Its unique structure, which likens the sea to its site, is also famous for changing its appearance with the tides! Founded in 593, the year of Empress Suiko's accession to the throne. It is said that in 1168 Taira no Kiyomori constructed the shrine building, which incorporates the current shinden-zukuri style. 👀 With the main shrine at the center, there are over 20 buildings, including the national treasure flat stage jutting out into the sea, the high stage, the guest shrine, and the Noh stage, an important cultural property, all connected by a vermilion-painted corridor stretching about 270m. 😳 The enshrined deities are the three goddesses! Ichikishimahime-no-mikoto, Tagorihime-no-mikoto, Tagitsuhime-no-mikoto ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━✍️ Prayer report at Itsukushima Shrine━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━① Fill out the prayer details, address, and name on a special form at the reception② Pay the prayer fee (from 3,000 yen per item, optional)③ Wait in the waiting room④ You will be called to the main hall and receive the prayer⑤ Receive your amulet and items to be removedTime required: It took about 15 minutes! ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━❤️Recommended points━━━━━━━━━━━━━━︎︎︎︎☑︎ You can have a prayer just for you at a World Heritage Site︎︎︎︎☑︎ No reservation required for individuals!

I went there on a busy afternoon on a holiday, but there weren't many people receiving prayers, so I was able to receive it alone without being with other people 😌❤️It felt really special to be able to receive a prayer just for me ✨️Setsubun has passed, but if you haven't had your bad luck removed yet or if you have something you want to pray for, I recommend trying it once 🫶 Spot information━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━📍Itsukushima Shrine 🗺Address: 1-1 Miyajimacho, Hatsukaichi City, Hiroshima Prefecture 🚗Access: Miyajimaguchi Pier, a short walk from JR Miyajimaguchi Station → JR Miyajima Ferry, about 10 minutes by Miyajima Matsudai Sightseeing Boat, disembark at Miyajima Pier, 15 minutes on foot You can board the ferry with Suica! ⏰Opening hours: 6:30am-6pm (may change depending on the season)💵Budget: Admission fee 300 yen for adults, prayer 3,000 yen~, goshuin stamp 300 yen #Itsukushima Shrine #Miyajima #Power Spot #World Heritage Site #Amazing View #Solo Travel #Free Hong Kong Air Ticket
