Itsukushima Shinto Shrine

Today, I am going to introduce about Itsukushima Shinto Shrine. In 1996, It was registered on UNESCO's World Heritage list. There were some reasons it was registered on. First, it is masterpiece in humans history, and it represent important era. Second, it clearly represent universal occurrence, tradition, thought, religion, and so on. It locate in Hiroshima and it built in 593. It is very unusual shrine because its torii stands in the sea. It is said it is the most beautiful shine in Japan. However, it is broken easily by typhoon or tidal wave because it stands in the sea. I have never been there, so I would like to go to someday and enjoy great view. We should repair it continuous because we should pass the beautiful shrine down to next generation.
