Miyajima is considered one of the 'three great views' in Japan. Thus it attracts huge numbers of domestic tourists. The large torii, or gate, in the water is an internationally recognised symbol of Japan. Miyajima should be on the list of more international visitors, as it is one of the most attractive temple sites in Japan.
