The building of the Heian Shrine is built in part of the building of the Imperial Palace in the Heian period, but only two-thirds of the size of the original building. The entire shrine includes the big bird house, the shrine, the Yingtianmen, the Great Hall and the Garden.
The visit to the shrine is free, and visiting the shrine behind the temple requires tickets.
Come to the shrine of the shrine, and the buildings in front of the temple are the Great Hall, the White Tiger House, the Canglong Building, etc. The red column and the Biwa are beautiful and atmospheric, while the ground is a large white sandstone, setting off the shrine. Be pure and innocent.
There are several small arches under the cherry trees in the courtyard, with the wishing cards written by the people who prayed for it. There is also a place to sign the gods. It is said that if you get a bad sign, tie it here and you can take refuge.
The south side of the shrine is a shrine road, where you can see a huge vermilion bird house, very spectacular and eye-catching. I was attracted by this elegant cherry tree, stopped and gave up to the torii. Perhaps it is more attractive to me than the grandeur.

This important cultural property in Japan is located in Kyoto. It is said to have been built for the 1100 years anniversary of the ancient capital of Japan. Right at the entrance of this historic place is a super huge Torii gate. It was the biggest Torii gate that I've seen so far. Great collections of artifacts inside and the loveliest parts were the huge open space in front of the shrine and the gardens.

The shrine was built on the occasion of the 1100th anniversary of the capital's foundation in Kyoto and is dedicated to the spirits of the first and last emperors who reigned from the city, Emperor Kammu (737-806) and Emperor Komei (1831-1867).

One of the times I visited was during the 3-5-7 celebration where parents celebrate and pray with their children turning one of those three ages, so the shrine was full of families with small kimono clad children and it was so adorable!
