Momijidani Station
Itsukushima Shrine stands on stilts over a tidal inlet on Miyajima, its halls and the vermilion torii offshore appearing to float only at high tide — at low tide visitors walk out across the mudflat instead, so it is worth checking a tide table before going. Admission is ¥300 for adults, or ¥500 combined with the Treasure Hall, and the shrine opens at 6:30 AM every day of the year. The five-storied pagoda beside it is under wraps for renovation, with work scheduled to finish in December 2026.
