What other travelers are saying about Hokokujinja Senjokaku Pavilion
Beautiful shrine with a big pagoda, overlooking the scenery from a small hill next to the main shrine and the big Tori. The wooden hall is stunning with enormous pillars. We were there on a very hot day and enjoyed a break sitting on the wooden deck with a nice sea breeze. I was surprised that it was nearly completely empty. Entry fee is 100 ¥. So absolutely worth it to relax there for a while.
You can’t go wrong by visiting Miyajima. It’s a very unique experience that you might not see anywhere else in Japan. Even though there are other Torii Gates sitting in the water, there’s none as iconic as this one. The temple is also sitting in the water, at least during high tide and is truly a sight to see. Take a day and walk around the shops, restaurants and take in the views. You will not be disappointed.
The overlook up here is quite beautiful. The Pavilion has a 100 yen admission fee (adults) and no shoes allowed inside. The building is very clean and well maintained, within a quiet place on top of a hill. There are multiple ways to get up here but they are all via stairs. So I do not recommend it for handicapped or seniors with difficulty walking.
But the overlook is worth the visit, as you can see the Tori gate, and the entire town from here!
Beautiful and large pavilion. We didn't go inside due to time constraints, but it was enough to see the inside from the entrance.
Entrance fee: 100 yen
