"The Itsukushima shrine " is so beautiful natural historical place. Itsukushima shrine is  a shinto shrine on the island of Itsukushima. It's best known for it's "floating " toil gate. It is in the city of Hatsukaich in  Hiroshima prefecture in japan. The shrine was devoted to the worship of goddesses to whome kiyomori owed thanks, he felt for his success in life. originally it was a pure shinto shrine where no birth or deaths were allowed to cause pollution. The japines are thinking the shrine is dedicated to the three daughters of  sasono-o no Mikoto, shinto god of seas and stoms and brother of the sun goddess Amaterasu. The shrine was built like a pier over the water, so that it appeared to float, separate from the land.
