Enjoy a more relaxed pace of sightseeing — and maybe even tap into your spirituality — at Sankido. If it's possible to go inside, why not pause for a moment or two of quiet contemplation?

Situated in Itsukushima, this place of worship is well worth including on your itinerary. But you'll find plenty more to discover in this area. Itsukushima Shrine, Miyajima Ferry Terminal and Miyajima Aquarium aren't too far from Sankido.
