Great collection of temple gates and buildings located around a huge courtyard.

Completely different from any other shrine / temple in Kyoto. The bright vermillion set against white gravel makes the Heian Shrine a burst of color vs. most of the other sights.

It's a beautiful shrine with a really large courtyard that's located in Kyoto. It's huge front Toori gate is hard to miss when in the area. 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!

Heian Shrine was built on the occasion of the 1100th anniversary of the capital's foundation in Kyoto.A symbol of Kyoto, the shrine was built in 1895 — a relatively recent establishment.
