Goju-no-to (Five-Story Pagoda)
廿日市市宮島町１−１
A magnificent five-story pagoda located within the grounds of Itsukushima Shrine, featuring a splendid architectural design that fuses the Japanese (Wabun) and Chinese (Karan) styles.
History
Constructed in 1407 CE (Oei 14), this structure combines Wabun and Karan architectural styles and is topped with a cypress bark roof. The interior is lavishly decorated with colorful paintings. Due to the separation of Shinto and Buddhism during the Meiji era, the main enshrined deities—Shaka Nyorai (Shakyamuni Buddha), Fugen Bosatsu (Samantabhadra Bodhisattva), and Monju Bosatsu (Manjushri Bodhisattva)—were transferred to Daigan-ji Temple.

Situated on a high plateau behind Itsukushima Shrine, this vibrant vermilion-painted five-story pagoda stands adjacent to the Sendagyo-kaku (Thousand-Mat Pavilion). Standing approximately 27.6 meters tall, it is characterized by its harmonious blend of Wabun and Karan architectural styles, as well as the striking contrast between its cypress bark roof and vermilion paint. Restoration work is occasionally underway, allowing visitors to appreciate its exterior in a tranquil atmosphere.
