The Gojunoto Pagoda, or five-storied pagoda, is a visually striking landmark on Miyajima Island near Hiroshima. Dating back to 1407, this vermilion-colored structure stands approximately 28 meters tall and showcases a blend of Japanese and Chinese architectural styles. Located on a hill near the Senjokaku (Toyokuni Shrine), the pagoda offers picturesque views and is a popular spot for photography. While the interior is not open to the public, visitors can admire its beauty from the outside. The pagoda is particularly stunning against the backdrop of blue skies or when illuminated at night. A short climb is required to reach the pagoda, making it a worthwhile addition to any visit to Miyajima.
