Heian Shrine was built in 1895 to commemorate the 1,100th anniversary of the founding of the capital in Kyoto, which was called Heian-kyo. The shrine is the home of two important imperial deities; Emperor Kammu, the emperor who founded Kyoto, and Emperor Komei, the emperor who founded the base of modern Japan. Since it was founded over 100years ago, the shrine has been a well-known place for the local people. The main building of the shrine is a copy of an early Heian period palace where important national rituals were held. It is the only building in Kyoto that retains the appearance that defined the capital 1200 years ago. -
