History

Standing majestically on this beautiful island in the Seto Strait, Itsukushima Shrine bears witness to the eternal cycles of history I have protected. The form of Benzaiten appears and vanishes with the tides—her profound mystery reflecting eternity in visitors' hearts. Attracting pilgrims from across the world, its name carries beyond the seas, eternally receiving the wishes of countless souls.
