Miyajima torii gate still under scaffolding? 2022/10/26 06:27
Is the torii gate at Miyajima/Itsukushima still under scaffolding? Has anyone been there recently that can comment?
Building works are scheduled to finish at the end of 2022, but I can’t find up to date information.
I will be in Japan early November.
Thank you

Recent photos are shown by Miyajima Tourist Association.

The scaffolding seems to have been mostly removed.

In November 2022,
the scaffolding may remain around the lower part of the gate,
but still I suppose the shrine is worth visiting.

The shrine might be crowded with visitors
on public holidays (November 3 and 23), Saturdays and Sundays.

Thank you so much Omotenashi-san for your reply.
The links to the photos are fascinating, almost like a piece of art eg Christo.
I have always avoided visiting Miyajima because of the crowds, but feel it’s time to see what everyone is talking about.

I was there a few days ago (Friday). Most of the scaffolding has been removed. There is still some around the base, and they still have some work to do, but the torii is certainly visible and mostly unobstructed.
