Sustainable efforts to pass on Miyajima to the future
We aim to protect this miraculous cycle wherein people live together with gods and nature.
The Miyajima Visitor Tax we receive from you is used to develop a sustainable tourism community, including environmental improvement and citizen activities to pass on historic culture.
Four efforts for our future
Connecting Traditional Culture
Preservation activities to pass the historic and cultural treasures on to the next generation
Preserving the cityscape of the town around Itsukushima Shrine
Even today, Miyajima passes on the lifestyles and beliefs of those who came before us, and its unique cityscape has been designated as a "traditional building preservation zone." We engage in preservation and repairs, leaving chances to encounter the daily life of the community and the feelings of the people there. We also support organizations that engage in activities such as architectural learning and research and the passing on of architectural techniques.
Switching to underground power lines to protect the tradition and atmospheric aesthetic
By burying power lines on the island, we aim to develop a comfortable traffic environment as well as improve the view of this historic cityscape. We are currently moving forward with surveys and the like for work in the remaining areas.
