Kiyomori's Divine Vision

Taira no Kiyomori has a visionary dream of building a magnificent floating shrine here to appease the deities. He immediately starts massive construction.

The Grand Floating Torii

Head straight to the shore at high tide to see the giant vermilion torii gate seemingly floating on the water. It is iconic for a reason.

Walking the Sea Bed

Wait for low tide when the water recedes completely, then walk right up to the massive pillars. Check out the coins stuck into cracks by hopeful visitors.

Watch for Sticky Fingers

Eat some local grilled oysters or maple leaf cakes. Be mindful of the local deer; they will definitely attempt to steal your food.
