Miyajima Island is part of the famous '3 Most Scenic Views' of Japan. If you're wondering what makes this small island so special, you will have to get on a ferry across the Seto Inland Sea and see this heavenly sight for yourself. As the ferry approaches the island, the bright 50-feet-tall vermilion-coloured Torii Gate of the Itsukushima Shrine glistening in the sun comes into view.

Established as early as 806 CE, Daishō-in is Miyajima's oldest temple and one of the 3 great temples in Japan. The temple is believed to be what the Japanese call a 'Power Spot', implying it has miraculous abilities to ward off evil and bring good luck! The temple is a treasure trove of wonders, one more enchanting than the other.
