[2025 Kyoto Attraction] Travel Guide for Heian-jingū Shrine (Updated Apr)

#JanuaryGoodPlaces2025 After visiting the Harukami Takashi exhibition at the Kyocera Museum of Art, we visited the eye-catching giant torii and the bright red Heian Shrine. However, it was very hot at noon. The Heian Shrine covers a large area and there are not many trees, so it was very sunny when walking there. The only good thing is that there are fewer people at noon. "Heian Shrine" is located in Sakyo Ward, Kyoto City. It is also a famous cherry blossom viewing spot. It is famous for its huge vermilion torii and the Jidai Festival, one of the three major festivals in Kyoto. The shrine building is quite magnificent, made of vermilion lacquer and green glazed tiles, and is colorful. The garden behind it is even more beautiful and elegant. It was built to commemorate the 1100th anniversary of the founding of Kyoto. There is no entrance fee to Heian Shrine itself, only the gardens behind it require tickets. On the 10th of every month, there will be a Heian flea market in front of the shrine where you can go treasure hunting; in the winter nights, there will also be a limited-time light show, which is well worth seeing! #KyotoExploreStore #HeianJingu

#sakura2024 Keiryu Bridge in front of Heian Shrine A riverside walkway lined with hundreds of cherry blossoms, with a red bridge that looks like a landmark.

#KyotoTourism Heian Shrine is a shrine located in Sakyo Ward, Kyoto City, Japan, and enshrines Emperor Kanmu, the 50th emperor of the Heian period, and his wife, Princess Kamo-ko. Heian Shrine was built in 1895. The grounds have beautiful gardens and worship paths, and you can feel the historical atmosphere in a quiet atmosphere. It is known that many people visit the shrine for the first time of the year on January 3rd every year. In addition, there are many tourist attractions and famous shops in the area around Heian Shrine, making it an attractive spot for tourists.

Heian Shrine⛩ 97 Nishitenno-cho Okazaki, Sakyo-ku, Kyoto The first thing you see is the vermilion torii gate. It's so big and beautiful that you'll know at a glance that you've come to Heian Shrine. The contrast between red and green of all the buildings is so beautiful that you'll want to take a picture. It's also nice to visit in a kimono or yukata and take pictures! ✨ The garden is also wonderful, and you can spend a relaxing time with seasonal plants. There's also a small rest area where you can drink Ramune and other drinks☺️ There's a lot to see, so be sure to visit. #Tourist Spot #World Heritage Site #Kyoto #Shrine

#HeianJingu #KyotoTourism #ShrineVisit #CouplesTrip #SummerShortTrip I went to Heian Jingu on a weekday between Sunday and a national holiday, and it was pretty empty, so I was able to take my time looking around. There was not a single cloud in the beautiful blue sky, and the only colors were the vermilion of the shrine, the roof of the shrine and the green of the trees, the white clay walls of the shrine, and the ground covered with white gravel. I was surprised that only four colors, blue x vermilion x green x white, colored this vast Heian Jingu. I really felt the depth of history of the ancient capital, Kyoto. Perhaps because I usually live surrounded by a variety of colors, the vivid vermilion of the shrines in Kyoto is beautiful, and the elegance of traditional Japanese houses, with their colors subdued to the extreme, shows the temperament of Kyoto people who love Kyoto.

#Heianjingu #Kyoto #Garden On February 17, the weather in Kyoto warmed up. Taking advantage of the pleasant weather in the morning, I went to Heianjingu to worship. The garden was open for visitors, so I paid the entrance fee. The Heian Jingu Shrine grounds are large and sparsely populated, so it is quite comfortable to walk around. If you want to appreciate it carefully, you can stay there for about an hour. There are many places in the garden where you can take a short break, so you don’t have to worry about having sore legs and nowhere to rest.

The huge Heian Shrine is a relatively new shrine in Kyoto, which is filled with historical shrines and Buddhist temples. Kyoto gradually declined because the political and economic center of Japan moved to Tokyo at that time. One of the purposes of building Heian Shrine was to arouse Kyoto residents' sense of honor for this thousand-year-old capital. The Heian Shrine was specially built to commemorate the symbol of Kyoto's revival. Admission is free, but you are not allowed to take photos inside the buildings. If you want to see the gardens, it costs 600 yen. #日本自由旅行 #日本 #和平神宫 #京都 #日本旅行

Heian Shrine has a relatively short history, dating back just over a hundred years to 1895. 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). Heian is the former name of Kyoto. #wintergetaway #wintergetaway

This shrine has beautiful shrine buildings around a large open space. There were not a huge number of tourists which was a relief after a number of other Kyoto sites. Make sure to go into the garden (separate entry off to one side towards the back). It is a wonderful large Japanese garden where you can spend a half-hour or hour unwinding. There is a small tea garden in the middle of the garden. Mostly flat easy walking. #GiveThanks

This time, the plan is to visit the markets in Kyoto. Kyoto has a rich market scene, offering not only handmade crafts and lifestyle goods but also many irregular antique and flea markets. Our trip coincided with the monthly Heian Flea Market. Upon entering the Heian Flea Market, I was immediately struck by a strong retro vibe. I had no idea a market could be so visually appealing. It was a feast for the eyes, and I found many interesting little things: beautiful sundries, vintage toys, jewelry, porcelain, etc. Each stall was meticulously arranged, with carefully curated items displayed on small tables. I even came across a little girl playing a small piano, absolutely adorable. ✅Tips Cash is the primary mode of transaction at the Heian Flea Market, so remember to bring some cash in advance.

In Kyoto, a city known for its ancient temples that are often centuries old, Heian Shrine stands out as a relatively new structure. However, it holds a special significance in the flow of history. The story begins with Heian-kyo. During the reign of the 50th Emperor Kanmu, he chose Kyoto as the new capital to replace Nagaoka-kyo. Modeled after the Chinese cities of Luoyang and Chang'an, Heian-kyo was built. It is said that Emperor Kanmu deeply believed in Feng Shui and considered Kyoto to be a demonic city. To protect it, he placed the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise in the four cardinal directions, corresponding to four temples: Yasaka Shrine, Matsuo Shrine, Jonan Shrine, and Kamigamo Shrine. The northeast direction, considered the demon gate, was guarded by Enryaku-ji on Mount Hiei. Geographically, the city was surrounded by Mount Funaoka to the north, the Kamo River to the east, the San'in Road to the west, and Lake Ogura to the south, forming a complete Feng Shui formation. In March 130 years ago, during the Meiji Restoration, the capital was moved to Tokyo, and Heian Shrine was built. The shrine's buildings were modeled after the Chodo-in, the main hall of the Heian-kyo Imperial Palace, at five-eighths of the original size. The main deity enshrined is Emperor Kanmu, and later Emperor Komei, the last emperor of Heian-kyo, was also enshrined. In front of the Taikyokuden, the White Tiger Tower and Azure Dragon Tower were built according to Emperor Kanmu's Feng Shui theory. In 1975, left-wing activists set fire to the main hall and eight other buildings, which were later reconstructed. Understanding the historical context helps to appreciate the importance of Heian Shrine. Its vermilion buildings and green-glazed tiles are quite striking. Today, Heian Shrine remains a popular tourist attraction and a center of worship. Visitors who draw a lucky fortune slip take it home, while those who draw an unlucky one tie it to a tree in the shrine. The sight of the tree covered in fortune slips shows how many people visit the shrine. 📍Address: 97 Okazaki Nishitennocho, Sakyo Ward, Kyoto, 606-8341, Japan

Who among my family members understands? I discovered a super beautiful cherry blossom viewing treasure in Kyoto - Heian Jingu Shrine Gardens, it is so beautiful that I am speechless! As soon as you step into the Shinto Garden, it feels like you have traveled back to ancient Japan in a second. 🌸The blooming cherry blossoms look like pink clouds. When the breeze blows, the petals fall like snow, which is incredibly romantic. The koi in the pond swim freely among the reflections of the cherry blossoms, looking lively and beautiful. Walking along the winding path, it is so quiet that you can only hear your own footsteps and the occasional bird song. Looking up, the quaint red torii gate is particularly eye-catching against the backdrop of cherry blossoms. Any photo you take will turn out great📸 Every photo is so stunning that it can be considered a masterpiece! This is not only a great place to enjoy cherry blossoms, but also a place to heal the soul.

#100 Ways to Travel Heian Shrine ~ "The place where the gods always reside and the four gods correspond" 🧭History full of metaphysics: Heian Shrine is quite young in Kyoto, which has a rich history. It was built in 1893 to enshrine Emperor Kanmu. At that time, Kyoto was gradually declining due to frequent wars in the late Tokugawa period. This shrine was built to pray for prosperity and peace. According to Feng Shui, Kyoto is a "place corresponding to the four gods", so the Heian Shrine was set up in the middle to pray for the protection of the four sacred beasts. Among them are the East Green Dragon "Yasaka Shrine" and the West White Tiger "Nishio". Taisha", Minami Suzaku "Jonangu Shrine" and North Genbu "Kamigamo Shrine" form a perfect four-sided boundary! ! ✨Must-see at the Shrine: "Big Torii": It is a large torii with a height of 24 meters and a width of 18 meters. It is located about 300 meters south of Heian Jingu Shrine's Onten Gate. At the time of its construction, it was the largest torii in Japan, in the form of the "*Myojin Torii". Registered as a national tangible cultural property of Japan in 2002 ~ 📖Tips: There are two types of Japanese 🇯🇵torii⛩️ namely "Myojin torii" and "Kami torii". The difference is the horizontal "Kasagi" on the top floor. The former's torii will also be matched with " "shima wood" and the two ends are turned up, the whole is more gorgeous; the latter has only one 笠木 placed horizontally, you can pay more attention next time~~ "Heian Shrine": It is a replica of the Heian Period building. Before entering the shrine, you will first pass through "Eitenmon" and "Daikokuden". In addition to replicating the Heian Period, the entire building was also built to commemorate the 1100th anniversary of the relocation of the Heian capital ~ There are also "Sangryu Tower" and "White Tiger Tower" as guards around it. It is simply a miniature version of the barrier in Kyoto~ "Shinen Garden": It is a representative garden of the Meiji period, consisting of four gardens in the east, middle, west and south surrounding the shrine building. The vast garden with a total area of ​​approximately 33,000 square meters (approximately 10,000 square meters) has been designated as a nationally designated scenic spot in Japan. Weeping cherry blossoms in spring, irises in early summer, red maple leaves in autumn, and white snow in winter can all be seen in the garden! ! "Night worship": This is a very unique way of worshiping at the shrine ~ In addition, every spring, the "Red Branches and Weeping Cherry Blossoms Concert" is held. The venue is in the "Shen Garden". Travelers who are visiting must not miss! ! ～Special reminder～Tickets for night worship and morning worship 🎟️ cannot be shared! ! ❗️Important festivals: There are three major festivals in Kyoto, namely the "Aoi Festival", the "Prayer Festival" and the "Jidai Festival".
