    The Heian-jingu Shrine was built in 1895 to celebrate the 1100th anniversary of the establishment of Heian-kyō (anitker name Kyoto). He is famous for his huge, vermilion lacquered gate.

    Occasionally the courtyard is used for special occasions. For example, on October 22, the anniversary of the founding of Kyoto, the shrine serves as the venue for the Jidai Festival.

    The entrance to the shrine is free, the garden is chargeable.

      We were there in the evening after 5 p.m. and the area was almost deserted. Highly recommended at this time (although the park may already be closed by then).
