Excerpt from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Itsukushima_Shrine:
Itsukushima Shrine (厳島神社, Itsukushima-jinja) is a Shinto shrine on the island of Itsukushima (popularly known as Miyajima), best known for its "floating" torii. It is in the city of Hatsukaichi, in Hiroshima Prefecture in Japan, accessible from the mainland by ferry at Miyajimaguchi Station. The shrine complex is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the Japanese government has designated several buildings and possessions as National Treasures.
The Itsukushima shrine is one of Japan's most popular tourist attractions. It is most famous for its dramatic gate, or torii on the outskirts of the shrine, the sacred peaks of Mount Misen, extensive forests, and its ocean view. The shrine complex itself consists of two main buildings: the Honsha shrine and the Sessha Marodo-jinja, as well as 17 other different buildings and structures that help to distinguish it.

Asazaya
Asazaya is located where the East Corridor turns to the right. This hall, thatched with cypress bark, was used as a meeting place by Shinto and Buddhist priests. The architectural style is said to date from the Kamakura period (1185-1333).
Marodo Shrine
Marodo Shrine (shrine for guest deities) is the primary auxiliary shrine of Itsukushima Shrine. All ceremonies at Itsukushima Shrine start here. Like the Main Shrine, Marodo Shrine consists of a honden (main hall), heiden (offering hall), haiden (worship hall) and Haraiden (purification hall). This shine has retained its old architectural style as it has needed less repair work than other structures. The stepped eaves of the haraiden and the planks around the verandah for protection against waves are unique features.
East Corridor
The corridors are 3.9 meters wide and about 270 meters long. The distance between the pillars is about 2.4 meters. There are eight floorboards between the pillars and small spaces between the floorboards.
