Did you know that there is a way to visit Itsukushima Shrine from the sea?
It is said that in the time of Taira no Kiyomori, people would visit Itsukushima Shrine by passing through a large torii gate on the sea. In this article, we will introduce the "Rokai Bune," which allows you to experience visiting the shrine from the sea just like the people of that time.
As the name suggests, a rokai boat is propelled solely by human power, using a oar and oars.
This experience takes about 20 minutes, and after a leisurely cruise off the coast of Itsukushima Shrine, you pass under the large torii gate. Finally, you join hands on the boat and view the shrine from the sea. On this engineless boat, you can view the shrine in a very quiet atmosphere, surrounded by the sound of the gentle waves.
This boat is the only way to pass under the large torii gate of Itsukushima Shrine from the sea. It will be a special experience for customers.
