The shine itself is a UNESCO World heritage site and the shrine that stands today is from the 13th century. The gate itself was most recently rebuilt in 1875. It is noted that it at its most beautiful at high tide when the gate and the shrine itself appear to float on the water. At low tide is possible to walk up to and around the gate pictured. The island itself has been considered holy for many hundreds of years. It's thought that the first shrine erected here was in the 6th century. The 13th century style preserved today is an outstanding example of shindenzukuri style of architecture and provides invaluable information as to the evolving spiritual culture of Shintoism and the concept of scenic beauty, which is why it was considered a World Heritage Site in 2001 Date Submitted Date of submission of the resource.
