Located a short walk west from Itsukushima Shrine on Miyajima Island, Kiyomori Shrine is dedicated to Taira no Kiyomori, who was instrumental in expanding Itsukushima Shrine to its current grandeur. Built in 1954, this small, vermilion-lacquered shrine offers a peaceful contrast to the more crowded main attractions. Visitors can enjoy a quiet moment surrounded by pine trees and views of the Seto Inland Sea. The shrine is particularly noted as a power spot, and the path to it through the pine forest provides a scenic stroll. Consider visiting during the Kiyomori Festival on March 20 or the Miyajima Kiyomori Festival for lively events.
