Will be covered for the next two years. The temple and surround are beautiful
The main monument is undergoing restoration, so the building is covered up and you can't see anything. There was no indication that this was happening or of when this would be completed, either. Main temple was open and the food available nearby is so fresh and delicious, the trip across the bay was still worth it!
Fabulous going to the Island. Unfortunately the gates are enclosed in scaffolding at the moment for maintenance work but I would still highly recommend going. Absolutely fabulous day and loved Mt Misen❤️❤️❤️
Renovation work being done
The floating gate was completely covered for repair without advising people. Even the ferry ride over pretended it was still visible confusing people.
