For three dollars each we were able to enter this shinto shrine called Itsukushima shrine. It is built on stilts and was founded in 593 A.D. Directly in Front of it, out in the water, is the big gate, and at low tide you can walk out to it. Behind is a very beautiful pagoda, painted orange to match the shrine. (As far as I have noticed, painted pagoda's like this are rare).
