Would someone be able to tell us whether the Itsukushima Shrine is still under construction? The only information I can find says that it started in June 2019 and is expected to last for a year. We are visiting in March 2019 and hope it might be completed sooner so that we can visit to see!

It was still under scaffold in November and I believe will be until early next year. It is is only the tori gate the rest of the shrine ok and the island still worth a visit

Let's say it depend if you like to tour around, get lost and discover... The temple itself could be 1 hour but there is often wedding so you might want to hang out a little bit more. Than you have other temples on the island to see, a little walk on the top of the ''mountain''. If you like oysters, we will be delighted with the wide choice of place to eat. Try also the cookies, you even can see the making of them in the ''village''. Have fun!
Hello, I just read that jr passes allows you free ferry riding, but can we buy on the internet the tickets to the island to avoid the queue? since we are very tight on our time. What time should we go to walk to the tori gate, (low tide) I guess. We will be in myajima on the 18 of april 2017. thanks

I had intended to spend an hour there and moved on to some other places...BUT I spent 7 hours there..just strolling around, looking at the deers, visiting temples, walking up the parks, walking at the 'beach' while low tide ..time just passed, and didnt even have my lunch. Yes, remember to try the oysters at the stalls along the streets !! yummy...at Yen400 for two pcs, no complain. hehe.
What shoes should we wear? Are we going to be in the water? It will be high tide when we visit. Thanks!

During high tide, you are not able to reach to the gate of the shrine in the ocean because of over one meter tide. Just look at the gate from the shrine or beach. JR ferry go through near the gate on the ocean. There are two ferry companies in Miyajima and JR ferry operates a ferry with good view to the island. If you want to reach to the gate, you should stay in the island overnight.
