Torii


A torii or gate is a symbol of Shinto shrines all over Japan. The torii pictured above was taken at the Itsukushima Shrine in the island of Itsukushima, popularly known as Miyajima, off the coast of Hiroshima.

This torii is one of Japan's most popular tourist attractions, and is one of Japan's three scenic views.
