Just once in a blue moon, Itsukushima Jinja is off limits due to high tide. Today on September 11, 2014, the tide was marvelously high and the entrance was closed by a rope; poor travelers could not go onto the corridor of the shrine but others including me barely did. A five-minute difference dictated the good or bad luck. The seawater made some part of the corridor wet, breaching onto the floor in some part of the corridors. The photos below will convince you how high it was.
