Vue d'ensemble
Heian Jingu was built in 1895 to celebrate the 1,100th anniversary of Kyoto's establishment as the imperial capital. The shrine buildings are a 5/8-scale replica of the Daigokuden (Great Hall of State) of the original Heian-era palace, offering visitors a vivid impression of ancient imperial architecture. The shrine's massive vermilion torii gate, one of the largest in Japan at 24 meters tall, has become one of Kyoto's most recognizable landmarks. Behind the main buildings lies one of Kyoto's finest gardens, designed by the great landscape architect Ogawa Jihei, featuring spectacular weeping cherry trees in spring.
