Itsukushima Shrine

This is the shrine that the big red gate belongs to, and it was believed that the Gods came down to earth through the gate to this shrine, and that's why people were never allowed to live on the island. It was a very busy day, with lots of tour groups, so we didn't go through it, but I did go along the river so I could get some photos of the lanterns which hung along the outer edge.
