Miyajima (literally "shrine island") has been celebrated as a sacred island and one of Japan's three most scenic views. It is most famous for Itsukushima Shrine, which, together with its large wooden torii (gate), stands in the ocean during high tide. Daisho-in is a beautifully situated temple at the foot of the wooded hill "Misen", whose summit can be reached by a hiking trail that commences at the temple.
