Interesting Fact
As evening approaches, visitors begin gathering along the shore of Itsukushima Shrine. Slowly, the sky shifts from blue to orange as the sun sinks behind the shrine's famous floating torii gate. For a few minutes, the gate appears silhouetted against the glowing horizon, creating one of Japan's most iconic sunset views.
