Visite de Miyajima chô 宮島町 torii 大鳥居 temple d'Itsukushima 厳島神社 parc de Momijidani 紅葉谷公園 Itsukushima is an island in the Inland Sea of Japan. It is popularly known as Miyajima. Itsukushima is part of the city of Hatsukaichi in Hiroshima Prefecture. The island was the town of Miyajima prior to the 2005 merger with Hatsukaichi. Itsukushima is famous for the Itsukushima Shrine, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. According to records, the shrine was established in the time of Empress Suiko. The warrior-courtier Taira no Kiyomori gave the shrine its present form. In 1555, Mori Motonari defeated Sue Harukata at the Battle of Miyajima. Toyotomi Hideyoshi built a large building, the Senjō-kaku, on a hill above the shrine. Itsukushima is mountainous and sparsely settled. It does have an elementary school and a middle school. There are no traffic signals. Frequent ferry services, operated by West Japan Railway Company (JR West) and by Miyajima Matsudai Tourist Ship, carry traffic between the island and the mainland. The trip takes about ten minutes. Miyajima's maple trees are renowned throughout Japan, and blanket the island in crimson in the autumn. Momiji manju, pastries filled with azuki jam or custard, are popular souvenirs, and carry maple-leaf emblems. Because the island is sacred, trees may not be cut for lumber. Deer and monkeys roam freely. The peak of Mount Misen, at 530 m, is the highest point on the island. A ropeway carries visitors to the top. (wikipedia) VALPARD FILMS http://valpardfilms.free.fr
