Big Bird Residence The Big Bird of Yandao Shrine is situated on the beach 200 meters away from the coastline, and it stands in the sea when the tide rises. Big scarlet birds live on the island's most famous landmark, built from non-perishable natural nanmu, with a height of 16 meters and a weight of 60 tons. Bird dwelling is a secular world that distinguishes the divine realm from the human inhabitants. In shrines of all sizes in Japan, bird dwelling is the most famous feature of bird dwelling. Bird dwelling stands in the middle of the sea and shows different styles with the change of tide. The first big bird house of Yandao Shrine was built in 168. Every few hundred years, the bird house will be demolished and rebuilt. Now the eighth big bird house in 1975 has been built in front of us. The roots of bird dwelling seem to be buried in the sea, but they actually stand in the sea with their own weight. When the tide is full, you can see the majesty of birds floating on the sea from the boat or from the shore. When the tide ebbs, the bird can walk under and come in close contact with it. Therefore, visitors to the island must consult the daily tide table beforehand, so as to accurately grasp the full tide and ebb time.

    Special ferry to see the big bird house, also because I arrived too late to Miyajima, visit the Yandao shrine time is not much, so I also hurriedly took pictures. (The shopping street was also closed very early, about 6 o'clock in the evening, the whole street was closed almost, there was no meaning to make tourists money) The deer on Miyagi Island is much milder than the Nara deer, but it is still strictly forbidden to feed! I hope I have the opportunity to visit the appearance of the big bird house next time.

    Go to the vicinity to go. In Miyajima Daoju to the pier in front of the Yandao Gate, the tourist street. It is a place where you must leave time to go to Daoju. Snacks and department stores on the street are very rich.

    What I want to see most when I go to Miyajima is the big bird house of Yandao Shrine, but it happened to be repaired at the time, and I couldn't see its majesty in the sea. It's a pity! But it still feels majestic, especially when the sun is just rising in the morning, it looks particularly beautiful, after the tide can go down to the beach to play, it stands in the sea when the tide is high.

    It was so beautiful that I regretted that I had only arranged for one day and not stayed overnight. The suggestion is to check the time when the tide reaches its highest and lowest point on the official website so that we can see two different faces of Big Bird House. Big birds live close to a kilometer from the wharf and have a good view along the seaside. It's almost time to go at the highest or lowest tide. After the viewing, go to the other parts of the island and have a meal. It's almost time for the next highest or lowest tide.

    When we arrived at Miyagi Island, we had a close look at the tide. It was very interesting. In the evening, the hotel booked a boat to see the bird house at night. It was so beautiful that it was worth visiting on foot the next night.

    The landmark of the Miyagi Islands is very distinctive. The tide rises and falls with different perceptions. Personally, I prefer the scenery that he soaks in the water. It's a bit like the ancient architecture that comes out of the water. It's a bit mysterious in its beauty.

    Currently repaired? Repainted? It was surrounded because it was inside, but I expected the beauty after the end and made it 5 (laughs) It seems that the construction will end in autumn!
