Heian Shrine, Shinto shrine in Okazaki, Kyoto, Japan.
The shrine buildings display vermillion-colored pillars and green roofs arranged symmetrically around a central graveled courtyard with a monumental entrance gate.
The Heian Shrine, built in 1895, commemorates the 1100th anniversary of Kyoto's establishment as Japan's imperial capital during the Heian period.
The shrine contains halls dedicated to Emperor Kammu and Emperor Komei, representing the first and last rulers of the Heian period in Kyoto.
Visitors can access the shrine through the Higashiyama subway station, followed by a 10-minute walk through the Okazaki district.
The structure represents a 5:8 scale reproduction of the ancient Heian Palace's State Hall, featuring four distinct gardens covering 30,000 square meters.
