Itsukushima's torii gate and the tides

One of the most memorable parts of visiting Miyajima is seeing how the tides transform the famous vermilion torii gate. At high tide it appears to float on the water, while at low tide visitors can walk closer for a completely different view.

According to the activity description, the guide checks the tide forecast to try to find a suitable time for viewing and photography, although natural conditions cannot be guaranteed.
