The Torii Gate over water at Itsukushima Shrine is a famous landmark in Japan that appears to float during high tide. This 50-foot-tall vermilion gate, built of camphor wood, stands out against the backdrop of the ocean and symbolizes the connection between the physical and spiritual worlds. Visitors can walk up to the gate during low tide, creating a unique and picturesque experience that captures the essence of this sacred site.
