Kyoto City Heiankyo Sosei-Kan Museum

The Kyoto City Heiankyo Sosei-Kan Museum displays a large 1/1000 scale model of the ancient Heian capital measuring 7.8 by 6.6 meters.

The museum stands on the former site of the Sake Brewery Office warehouse from the Heian period, with original pillar foundation marks preserved in tiles.

The museum exhibits replicas of national treasures, including the Kitano Tenjin Engi scroll, which explains the origins of religious practices in Heian-era Japan.

Located on the first floor of Kyoto Asny Center, the museum opens daily from 10:00 to 17:00, except Tuesdays, offering free admission and multilingual information.

Visitors can examine archaeological artifacts, view detailed reconstruction models of imperial buildings, and try on traditional Heian period noble costumes.
