    There is a beautiful Gojyu-no-tou (5 level tower) near the Itsukushima shrine.

    The view of island and mainland is breath-taking especially in spring with cherry blossoms and in fall with leaves in different colors.

    You'll also find small shrines and temples in the area.

    The Five-Tiered Pagoda (Gojyu-no-tou ) is a sight that you will see from almost any spot in Miyajima, because it was built on top of a small hill, overlooking the rest of the village. Unfortunately this pagoda is off-limits for tourists, so we did also not go any closer and I was lucky to have my strong tele-lens with me, so I could take some photos of the beautiful ornaments of the facade as well..

    Set in a peaceful spot up out of the way from the hords of tourists is this stunning structure, very old and entirely made from wood. It's something to really contemplate on and in true Shinto fashion it seems that the deer are more than aware of this.

  • Address: Miyajima Island
  • Directions: Standing next to Senjo-kaku, up on a small hill over looking the Itsukushima-jinja. Take the stone steps up hill, south of the centre of the village.

    The five tiered pavilion is just uphill from Itsukushima shrine. You can't enter the pavilion, but it is pretty from the outside. Plus, the walk up the hill is uncrowded and interesting. Plus plus, from the hill top you have a great view at the village below (see the second photo), the shrine, and island off toward the beach.
