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.

"Tadasu Noh" is an outdoor Noh performance set in the Kamo Mioya Shrine Dance Hall (an important cultural property), which was originally performed in front of Shogun Ashikaga Yoshimasa and other distinguished feudal lords in 1464, about 550 years ago, and was revived for the first time in 550 years on the occasion of the 34th Shikinen Sengu (yearly rebuilding) of Kamo Mioya Shrine. In 2019, to commemorate the enthronement of Reiwa, the performance was renamed "Tadasu Noh" and has been held every year as a post-ceremony ritual for the Kamo Festival (Aoi Festival). The shrine rebuilding ceremony at Kamo Mioya Shrine began 2,100 years ago, and the 60th rebuilding ceremony in 2036 will be held. Furthermore, by imperial decree of Emperor Go-Ichijo, the system of Shikinen Sengu was established, with the first one being held every 20 years on April 13, 1036. The 35th Shikinen Sengu will mark the auspicious anniversary of 1,000 years.

The CO2 Zero Travel Plan® is a plan that uses the J-Credit Scheme to offset (carbon offset) the CO2 emissions you make while traveling. By purchasing the value of green electricity, you can essentially reduce the CO2 emissions you make while traveling to zero. CO2 emissions are now a major global issue, as can be seen from the efforts toward the SDGs set by the United Nations. This program was born from the desire to "leave as much of the Earth as possible beautiful for our future children." In order to take concrete action against climate change... As a first step, why not start taking concrete action against "climate change" while traveling?SDGs area of this content
